August Theme D Day: 12th of August is International Youth Day

12th of August is International Youth Day. 

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of activities or the other to help shape the future of the youths in the society. 

God bless your labour and work of love.

May we not do anything in vain.

Remember -

Proverbs 20:29 The glory of young men is their strength, And the splendor of old men is their gray head.

Titus 2:6 Likewise exhort the young men to be sober-minded

Ecclesiastes 12: 1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":

We in TLF are celebrating this D Day in our theme which bothers on family and youth.

You are invited to attend our viewing of -

"Changing the Way We Think About the Future" by Oluwafolabomi Olujimi    at TEDxCushingAcademy and “My wakeup call” by Chude Ikenna Azuike organised by TEDxEuston.

We commend the speaker and give kudos to the organisers.

You too can organise such a wonderful event.

In TLF we inspire, motivate and encourage! 

Do you ever wonder why more youths are being harnessed into all sorts of illicit ways such as drugs, alcohol, sleep and food abuse, immoral music, entertainment, reality shows and movies, among many others?

But we must do something.

We are the light and salt of the earth.

Why should parents and even the entire family of a youth stand and watch he\r go along the path of destruction?

Are we not bothered?

PRAY FOR NIGERIAN YOUTHS AND CHILDREN. Eccl.11:9, 10; 12:1; Lam. 3:27

Youths are the strength and future of a nation and there is need to invest in them- ethics, values, character

and education. Statistics has it that 45%- 48% of our population are youths.

• Thank God for blessing Nigeria with a high population of youths.

• Pray and release youths and children of this nation from the spirit of rebellion, witchcraft,

violence, pornography, the spirit of mammon, etc, (Isa. 49:24-26).

• Pray to God to break and convict the hearts of these young ones with the things that break His

Heart, (Psalm 51:17; Isaiah 19:1).

• Pray for the youths of Nigeria to return to the Lord, (Mal. 4:4-6).

• Declare that our children and youths shall be (i) useful to their parents as arrows are to archers 

(ii) they shall not bring shame to their parents and this nation 

(iii) they shall be bold in the face of

challenges and overcome all forms of negative influences 

(iv) they shall be sources of wealth and blessings to their families, (Psalm 127:4 – 5; 128:3; Prov. 22:6).

• Pray for the proper upbringing of children and youths at homes and schools, (Prov. 22:6).

• Pray that youths should become patriotic to national values, (Psa. 105:17-22; 1 Sam. 17:34-37)

• Pray that youths will become truly obedient to their parents, (Ephesians 6:1 – 3).

Remember the ultimate law is love.

God is love.

There is no answer outside of God.

Your life in God is most important.

In your youth, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent.

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...
