International Day of Non-Violence

2nd October

International Day of Non-Violence 

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of activity or the other to stop violence and bring about justice, truth and fairness.

Violence is an underlying symbol of a greater problem and it thus expresses itself with brute force, harm and pain.

God bless the labour and work of love of all those standing against violence.

May we not do anything in vain.

We invite you all to come to the TLF Centre on the 4th Sunday of this month by 4pm for the viewing of the video - Gentleman by Ric Hassani organised by TEDxPortHarcourt some years ago.

Remember blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the sons of GOD (Matthew 5).

Remember the ultimate law is love.

God is love.

Use various ways to kick against violence, except use of violence!

Fire does not quench fire...

Let peace in...

Be bold to speak up...

Be set free from the ropes that tie our freedom,

And burn our human interactions.

There is no answer outside of God.

Your life in God is most important.

In all your research, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent.

TLF

... the ultimate law is love.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
