I. M. E. ... be encouraged

Do you know that many people are being discouraged about attaining degrees, certificates, and education as a whole?

Since people feel that the end result of being educated is to get a good job and make money, they want to skip the education part and go straight to make money.

But knowledge for service is to be our aim.

A few people ask why I chose my career part, claiming that with money you can solve any altruistic desire you have.

But it is not the money that is the issue, but the love for it.

You can be educated and still make money.

You can have money and still offer service.

Education helps us realise this because it encourages reading, and reading wide.

I always felt that you can’t read books like Proverbs, Ecclesiastes or even some secular books like Shakespeare and Charles Dickens and still be caught up in the snare of vanity.

Education is good and learning is worth it.

A workman is worthy of his wages, as a workman can earn his own keep. But a rich fool, of what use is he, where his aspirations is more more and more with no service?

The question is why are you learning? Why did you learn?


 ... the ultimate law is love.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

UN Days for the Month of June.

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. 1 June Global Day of Parents   3 June World Bicycle Day  4 June International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression   5 June World Environment Day  5 June International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing  8 June World Oceans Day   12 June World Day Against Child Labour 13 June International Albinism Awarene...

Today is the second part of our D Day for the month of August!

May we not do anything in vain. Remember - Matthew 12:49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! Psalm 113:Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! You are invited to attend our viewing of - "Loneliness is literally killing us" by Will Wright at TEDxBirmingham . We commend the speaker and give kudos to the organisers.
