The Benefits of TFJ Community

The Benefits of TFJ Community/WhatsApp Group

A few weeks ago as my husband and I sat talking about our day, the subject of WhatsApp groups came up. He mentioned the increasing numbers of groups he belongs to and the phone memory or space it takes up. I jokingly told him to change his phone, although his phone is not really old at all.

However, on a more serious note we decided to check the number of groups we both have on our phones. On checking my phone, I counted over 20 groups that I belong to and my husband had close to 30 WhatsApp groups. That’s a staggering figure!

The question then came up – which of these groups really serve us and what value are we as individuals adding to the groups?

Decision Time

I checked further and realised some of the groups had passed their sell by dates, some groups were dormant, some were irrelevant, some extremely important, some absolutely necessary and some groups needed. 

I did a bit of tidying up/housekeeping and went through each group evaluating its relevance; and deciding which groups stay and which ones to delete or readjust.

I reviewed each group individually and when it came to the ‘The Father’s Joy’ (TFJ) WhatsApp group – @dfathers_joy, I had no doubts about it being one of the best groups I’m in. 

Without second thought it was awarded a ‘stay and settle’ award. This is one group that every woman on a mission with a vision should belong to. 

Adding Value

Let me share with you why TFJ group deserves such an award, some of the benefits of this group/community and how it is a blessing to many globally.

Members of this group come from all walks of life.
There are Entrepreneurs and Evangelists, Lawyers and Landlords, Pastors and Project managers, Engineers and Encouragers, Doctors and Deaconesses, Teachers and Trainers, Coaches and Choir members, Reverends and Real Estate Managers, CEOs and Counsellors, Artists and Accountants, Managers and Make-up Artists, Social Workers and Scholars, Directors and Designers, Farmers and Freelancers, Business Owners and Board-room members; Worshippers and Warriors; I could really go on and on. 

The TFJ group has members who are mainly women – some old and some young, some married and some unmarried, some divorced, there are sisters, daughters, mothers, and grandmothers. Not sure if there are great grandmas yet! Regardless of the stage or age, everyone is valuable and adding value.

The Benefits of TFJ Community/WhatsApp Group

I can boldly say that the TFJ Community is a mature setting, as members honour and value one another. It’s takes maturity to do that, and to also understand the importance of relationships for progress and advancement in life. 

The WhatsApp group platform is an environment that encourages and is comfortable for discussion of ideas and opinions (with no bias or judgement), which births creativity and collaboration for impacting and influencing lives positively. 

Prayer is at the forefront of this group, starting daily with the early morning prayers, previously via tele-conference, now via zoom. TFJ Prayerline, every week day – Monday to Friday, 6am to 6.30am; Zoom meeting ID: 845 4862 9221, Passcode: 565267. These prayer sessions has produced and continues to  produce tons of testimonies amongst members to the glory of God. TFJ also has affiliates to other prayer groups such as Reset my Seed – Prayer Bootcamp for all Nations, Rhema time, Prayer Raid Ministry etc to mention a few. These ministries are empowering members on all levels and dimensions to the glory of God.

It is indeed a community of inspirational women – if I may echo what Graced mentioned in her recent video that was shared on the group. 

Not a single day passes that I don’t learn something new from this group and I’m sure this is the same for all. There is always postings of fresh words of wisdom, thanksgiving, worship songs, relevant scriptures, words of encouragement, Monday morning musings, prayers and prayer points, relevant video clips that addresses situations and enlightens. I discovered this song on the group and it has since became my anthem and most if not all members of TFJ can identify with this song which places emphasis on the goodness of God, our Father.

The one core thing that stands out for me with TFJ group is how everyone is celebrated and everyone matters – through the never ending on-going support, sharing life stories and being vulnerable just to inspire others, sacrificing time, money, energy and effort to put a smile on the faces of others in need, and showing up when it matters most. The love experienced in this group is real, genuine and authentic. 

I dare not forget to mention the Special Lunch Hour Fellowship, via Zoom from 12 noon to 1pm, Monday to Wednesday; Zoom Meeting ID: 912 166 494, password: 338948. These sessions are powerful!

Another great TFJ event is the annual Ladies Weekend Away conference. I have attended 2 of the annual events so far, and I never remain at the same level after the 3 days. It’s definitely Education, Empowerment, Enablement and Encouragement. TFJ does exactly what it says on the tin, and a whole lot more, might I add!

Reflecting on 2021

In 2021, through the relationships and connections at TFJ group, God used members from the group in assisting me to the next level of my calling and ministry. As I was reflecting 2 days ago and journaling my end of year review, I could not but acknowledge and appreciate that the core of my 2021 successes and achievements has links to the TFJ community; that’s amazingly awesome! 

So I don’t care how much phone memory or space TFJ group takes up on my phone, it is here to stay; as it adds so much value and I hope in my own little way I am reciprocating. 

All Glory be to God

As 2021 comes to a close and we look forward to usher in 2022; I am so grateful to God and seize this opportunity to thank the leadership and members of TFJ Community. You rock! More of God’s increase, blessings and anointing in 2022 and beyond.
