Welcome to the 6pm Prayer

6pm

Our prayer point for the hour is for –

Contrition

Our Text for the hour is –

Matthew 15:8 This people draw nigh to me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.


Let's Ponder on –

Did you know that you can worship God in vain? Did you know that if you are not following the commandments of God, your worship can be a farce?

Many of us have been so used to hearing that God understands our sinful lifestyle or that God has a grace period for living in sin, that we have forgotten the simple fact that, if we love him, we must keep his commandments! Well, worship is an intimate act that is not just what you say about God, but how you live before God. When we worship God, it's about Him not us! When we praise God, it's about who He is, what He's done and what He is capable of doing. During the WORSHIP of God, there has to be reverence and glory created by our admiration and adoration of him. We must worship him in spirit and in truth! Spirit, meaning that He is spirit and truth, meaning that our hearts are right before Him and we desire His things!


Our Song for the hour is –


Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken

Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim

With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom

Forgive me for my unbelief

Renew the fire again


Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy on me


I have built an altar where I worship things of men

I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You

Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing

Pardon my transgressions

Help me love You again


Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy on me


I have longed to know You and Your tender mercies

Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end

I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence

Your grace forever shining

Like a beacon in the night


Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy on me

Our TLF 2 Day Event

Our TLF 2 Day Event started on Thursday and ended yesterday Friday. We had the person of Mrs Ishioma Francis who came to share good news with the children. We had Art competition and prizes were given. We had spelling bee and gifts were given. We had skipping competition and gifts were given. We had recitation of poems originally written by the children and gifts were given. We also used the opportunity to remind everyone of our theme for August. We shared our drinks and biscuits and everyone had a nice time. The children interacted and had a nice time. It came to a happy end and everyone went back home safely. We look forward to more activities such as these. We thank God for the success and blessings. God bless all those who contributed in various ways. Remember that, the ultimate law is love. TLF

Did You Know?

Creativity comes from God the Creator and He has given us pro-creative abilities in different areas to make the world a better place and provide works of charity. In TLF we are big on arts, crafts and creativity. We celebrate creativity. Many people have been able to support charitable causes from creative art exhibitions and sales. Many others have also used their creative works to raise awareness on various laudable causes for social development. Take for instance in our theme for this month, we have selected some creative art works that will help pass our message to us in an artistic way. Also in our Centre, we host children who often come just to draw and make things from recycled materials. We strongly invite you to like our facebook page - TLF Creativity. We also share and retweet such creativity on our X handle that we also invite you to like and share. Our various artworks in TLF add to the posters we paste around and the comics we also produce and share out. Join our facebook ...
