(TLF) The Ultimate Law Is Love

 

As we continue in our journey towards #Balance let us be reminded that 20th of March annually is the International Day of Happiness.  We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of activity or the other that is in the pursuit of happiness.  God bless your labour and work of love. See what do statistics reveal about happiness above! People always say that there is a difference between Happiness and Joy! What do you think? How about laughter? Is it a sign of happiness? How about smiling? Is it a sign of happiness? How can we really express our happiness then? May we not do anything in vain. Remember - James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Remember the ultimate law is love. God is love. There is no answer outside of God. Your life in God is most important. In all your research, su...

As we think of happiness let us remember those who are struggling with depression and whose lives' struggles seem to overwhelm them. Remember that 10th September annually is World Suicide Prevention Day. Earlier in this month we handled it here. It is a day set aside by WHO. Many people with seemingly balanced lives with schedules for work, family time and myriad of friends still end up as victims of suicide. We as humans do not have all the answers but God does. Please support us in any way you can so we can view "How to buy happiness" by Michael Norton at our planned flmshow outreach at a school to encourage people to think positively. Remember that our vision in TLF is for us to see more people sensitive, sensible and loving. #Balance #November TLF

It is important for us in this month of #Balance to address issues of depression, guilt-tripping and other things hat tilt our balance of scale in living a wholesome life.  Depression is like a deflated ball. It flattens the spirit. Why slide into depression when you can live your life sober and true. Sobriety is not despair or depression. I live a sober life.  Do you? Jesus says we should watch and pray, but did you also know that His Word tells us children of God to be sober. Being sober is being alert, aware and conscious of your decisions,  Knowing that actions have reactions and consequences.  But being "high" the opposite of being sober, Is the gyration people push for. High-life: drink and be drunk and wild, play metallic rock, dance hall, high life music and blues and become uncontrollable that even your mood can swing, take codeine and sleep long and deep, do hard drugs and be inspired to write songs, movie scripts, draw or be creative (creativity, artworks ...

OUR WEEKLY OUTLINE  Mondays - General Counselling and Prayers We would agree that there is an increase in wrong decisions being taken by many with regards life and death when things don't go well. There is a need for group circle meetings where strength can be pulled from likeminded people. It's the same way testimonies of believers help strengthen our faith. Come for counselling and group circle meetings. Tuesdays - Seminars and Workshops  Based on our monthly theme we have different sub-themes from which we need to address and formulate action plans as a group. These seminars and workshops also provide opportunities to have film shows. The effect of having audio-visual meetings can't be overestimated. Come we invite you to attend our weekly workshop, seminar or film show. Wednesdays - Ecumenism in Music By bringing people together who have interest in music, we provide in our immediate community, the opportunity for people to sing, have spoken word poetry, and learn with ...

Be ready in season and out of season.  2 Timothy 4:2  "Knowing what season you're in." We live our lives in seasons, and seasons have beginnings and endings. So, diversity is the key to longevity. If you don't understand that you can lose your sense of purpose, because when one season is over you've nothing left to carry with you into the next. That's why successful farmers keep rotating their crops. They plant corn in one field, then when it goes out of season they plow that field and let it rest. At the same time they're busy elsewhere harvesting alfalfa to make hay, after which that field goes through the same process. In spring they change the order of things so the field where corn once grew now produces alfalfa, and so forth. When Paul told Timothy, "Be ready in season and out of season," he was encouraging him to broaden his spiritual horizons. In Timothy's case he needed to understand there's a time to correct people, and a time t...

  May this encourage you always.   Don't spend major time with minor people for your sanity's sake. If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you,  break promises, stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don't have your back during difficult times... that is not a friend. To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your  friends will either grow or go. Surround yourself with people who  reflect values, goals interests and lifestyle. When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to GOD from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends that enrich my life. Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed   for the better. At first you think you're going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure. Remember what your elders used to say, "Birds of a feather flock  together. If you're an e...

  16 May yearly is International Day of Living Together in Peace.  ARE YOU A REASON, A SEASON, OR A LIFETIME?  Pay attention to what you read. After you read this, you will know the reason it was sent to you! People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.  When someone is in your life for a REASON. . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been ...

Isn't it amazing how God works in our lives! On a Saturday  night several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call  his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't  answer the phone. The pastor let the phone ring many times. He thought it  was odd that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try  again in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered right  away.  He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it  hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways. The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the  church office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday  night. The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about.  Then the man said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer."  The pastor  ...

Malcolm Cloutt was named a 2021 Maundy Money honouree by Queen Elizabeth II, an annual service award given to British men and women. Cloutt, who was 100 years old at the time of the recognition, was honoured for having given out 1000 Bibles during his lifetime. Cloutt has kept a record of everyone who's received a Bible and has prayed for them regularly. - Lisa M.

“The Professor’s Confession” By Philip Yancey This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.  Ephesians 3:6 “Community” is the place where the person you least want to live with always lives, says Henri Nouwen. Often we surround ourselves with the people we most want to live with, which forms a club or a clique, not a community. Anyone can form a club; it takes grace, shared vision, and hard work to form a community. The Christian church was the first institution in history to bring together on equal footing Jews and Gentiles, men and women, slaves and free. The apostle Paul waxed eloquent on this “mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God.” By forming a community out of diverse members, Paul said, we have the opportunity to capture the attention of the world and even the supernatural world beyond (Eph. 3:9–10). In some ways the church has sadly failed ...

Suicide is nothing but a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If anyone is considering ending his/her life, remember this: "this too shall pass". Please reach us for counselling and prayers. tinalovefoundation@gmail.com

There was a story that a mother of one who committed suicide after she cried for help on Facebook and got no help. People blamed her that she killed herself to escape hard times but left her son behind to suffer.  Who cares? no empathy! no love! No one to share your problem with. No one to help you. People don't really care what you are going through. I pray we overcome every challenges we're facing. so that we won't ask people that will mock us for help. Suicide is never an option.... Why do people take God for granted like this? Sadly, people can cross the ocean just to attend a funeral but can't cross a street to help. Also unfortunately are those professional beggars and scammers making it difficult to help those genuinely in need. These criminals must realise that they would never be better in life if they continue on this path. But we should not ignore people asking/begging us for assistance even on social media because we may not know what the person is p...

Steve Bing Commits Suicide By Jumping From 27th Floor. Steve Bing, an American producer, philanthropist, and writer died by suicide at the age of 55 on Monday June 22nd after jumping from the 27th floor of a luxury apartment building in L.A.'s Century City neighborhood. He had been suffering from depression due to lack of human contact during quarantine of Covid19 in 2020. Bing founded Shangri-La Entertainment and inherited a fortune of some $600 million from his grandfather, L.A. real estate developer Leo S. Bing. After dropping out of University, Bing pursued a career in Hollywood and became the executive producer of the Sylvester Stallone film, "Get Carter," in 2000. In 2003, he co-wrote the action-comedy “Kangaroo Jack,” and he also contributed to “Missing in Action” and wrote an episode of “Married With Children.”  The philanthropist later invested some $80 million in “The Polar Express,” the Tom Hanks-voiced 2004 film directed by Robert Zemeckis. Bing had producing ...

A media personality revealed that he attempted taking his own life twice. He made this known speaking on a task titled “Mental health.” He blamed parents for not being serious about their children’s mental health. Suicide is NEVER an option. Always make people around you happy because the Nigeria of today is enough to make many people feel depressed. We have a lot of psychopaths and narcissists walking about, not excluding folks with PTSD, chronic depression, personality disorders, etc. The worst part is that these individuals are unaware of their nature, making it even harder to seek help. You hear stories of gruesome murder, and wonder how someone could get the nerve to take a life. Are these murderers actually normal people? Alas, they are always diagnosed with one mental illness or the other. If they had been confined earlier in one mental facility upon diagnose, that would have saved the society from many mayhems such people have caused and sadly, are still causing. Life is worthw...

One has to overcome two things to live above suicide tendency 1). Low self esteem 2). Rejection by societal standard People who commit suicide what exactly do they always think before taking their lives?  --------- When people commit suicide because of failed relationships, don’t they say they are many fishes in the river? That one way doesn’t work doesn’t mean another won’t. Dying for the wrong reasons, is so bad. Heart break shouldn’t make anyone commit suicide. It could be that it’s a blessing in disguise and a way of missing out on the calamities that partner had in stock for you. --------- The thing about life is that only God can fill the void. Only an inventor knows the purpose of his invention and how it works. Some people born to poor parents would have heard about the wealth another's father left him or her and wished it had been their own father. And then the person commits suicide and you wonder. In all your doings, know God and live a life of service to humanity. ...

  How To Avoid Becoming A Victim Of Suicide (Don't Fall Out With God)  I am certain that if those who committed suicide in the past one year were asked a few years ago whether they could ever commit suicide, their answers would be "Never!" Pathetically, they carried out the act. This was because in the course of their living, they were caught in life’s storms such as illness, persecution, unfulfilled dreams or desires, failures, rape, damaged reputations, bankruptcy, loneliness, debt, hardship, misfortune, bullying, lack, death of a loved one, injustice, false accusation, pressure from loved ones and peers, losses amongst others that overwhelmed them and made them give up on life. What a pity! Life’s storms and challenges are real. However, there is nothing anyone can do concerning because they are a part and parcel of life and we must come across them. Nonetheless, there are things individuals could do to stay strong, safe and victorious in the times of storm.  In the ne...
