With God’s covenant, ‘The weakest amidst you shall be stronger than David’, the brothers in the family are assured of God’s personal workings in their lives. As He raises a set of men after His heart, he takes his time to make them what he wants them to be. Planning to arm them with the strength of David, demands ability to crush bones wherever and whenever necessary. Thus, this forms the basis of his dealings over them. God uses his best techniques to bring the best out of His ‘sons’ to prepare them unto men who would simply be the best in every endeavour of life beyond marriage, career, ministry and even destiny.
We are the David’s Generation
A generation raised to face and conquer the Goliath of our generation through the Holy Spirit’s work within us.
David’s Generation Library
The library is meant for the welfare of the brothers on any pertinent issue. Available in the library are audio and video messages, journals, and Christian books. To get any of these, you can see the Brothers’ coordinator. God bless you.

God created us as woman because He has something in His heart for us to fulfill in the life of the man He has created us to be help-meet for. He is not only interested in our spiritual life but in every facet of our lives. There is a state of being a woman which is ‘womanhood’ that God wants
us to attain. This requires many processes. Our creation from Gen.1:26-30 shows that we are to be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and also have dominion just as the man he created, only that we are subject to him in all things. We are help-meet and whatever God has
committed into his hands, we must help him not that we will take over from him, so that we two might be fulfilled in His purpose for our lives.For us to be fulfilled in life, we must:
Know God and trust Him.
Have vision: Sense of direction received from God.
Have correct self concept; a right attitude about ourselves and others.
Forget the past and move forward.
Believe we can do whatever God has created us to do.
There are hindrances to being fulfilled:
Devil – Sin (I Jh. 3:8).
Self Foundation (Ps. 11:3).
God created man(male and female) to subdue the earth, to make impact and affect generations positively(Gen.1:28). Little wonder He has brought us to the school of making so as to be fulfilled in His agenda in our generation. To be fulfilled in life, we must have a right attitude(Ps.82:6). God has sown in us the seed of greatness which we have to identify and develop. We should make effort to make it manifest. We must not be overwhelmed by limitations in any situation we find ourselves. The situation must move us forward and not stagnant.
There is a place of rest God had destined for his people and for his church as he placed in the heart of Terah to go into Canaan though he was unable to see it as God’s given inspiration. He did not get there because of his relatives. So, God have to call Abraham out for this noble offer to enter into a rest he had sanctified. So let every man do away with his or her relative, wisdom, belief, knowledge, custom that may bring hindrances(s) or cause delay in entering the Canaan land because the presence of any relative reduces the tendency of hearing the voice of God in a man’s life one still love them and until we hate them and be ready to go all the way with God, to get to Canaan land might be difficult. In the unit, we see to how we can help ourselves in developing the God given potentials in us in every spheres of life.
We do this by teaching ourselves in the word of God, talks on our approach to issues in talking, dressing, etiquette and hospitality. We also go by organizing workshops through which we can become responsible in life. We meet to pray, encourage ourselves on how to live a correct life and work hand in hand to see that the house is in good order. We also have library unit where we get books to read to improve ourselves.
There are level representative coordinating each level and the level representatives meet with the coordinators to intercede for our lives.
We are at our budding stage and we need everything around, every affection and caring to bloom. If the flower that is about to bud is mishandled, the ovary will get spoilt and the just coming up flower becomes rotten and thereby be useless but when handled will, it becomes beautiful and attractive, becomes a house on the mountain which cannot be hidden.

[tab icon=”theme-list” title=”Welfare Unit”]
[column_2 width=”1/1″ last=”true” title=”Welfare unit” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]
Welfares’ as a part of the ministry in Kingdom started long ago in the days of the apostles. Acts 4:3237. The aim of welfare unit is in verse 34, which in the house of faith, there will not be one that is needy, that we all will have all things in common. The unit is saddled with the responsibility of taking care of the members of the fellowship in all areas, materially, financially, etc. The unit is responsible to the welfare of every member of the fellowship, and saddled with the responsibility of helping the
members secure accommodation in different area, both around school area and in town. We are encouraged not to keep to ourselves; we should feel free to meet the welfare coordinator and any of the family coordinators, as we trust God that our needs will be met.
As a member, you are also part of the unit. Under the unit, we have different families based on our geographical locations, this is to strengthen the relationship of the members of the fellowship, and as members, and we are expected to be a faithful member of one of the families and also to the time of
family gathering.
Family Gathering
In Paul’s epistle to the brethren at Colosse, he specifically identified Bro. Nymphas who had a family gathering in his house. “Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.” Colossians 4:15. In Acts 12:5, 12, it is shown that people used to meet in the house of Mary(John Mark’s mother) where many were gathered together to pray, and they even prayed until they secured Peter’s release. In Matt. 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” God is pleased and reserve certain blessings for members of family gatherings. Observe that Paul did not underrate the operation of house fellowships in the church at Colosse.
It is a place where we discuss as a family(brothers and sisters), heart to heart talk, share minds, share the word of God together, and pray for each other.
The families are named by God according to the fruit which is expected to show forth in our lives, not just to bear the name but for it to reflect in these fruit of the Spirit. Every family is coordinated by a coordinator and new families are created as the need arises. The family gathering is a very important arm of the body of Christ; every believer should therefore be an active member in one of them. As you do so, God will recognize and bless you.
Meeting: Every family meets 7.00-8.00pm on Saturdays at different hostels chosen by the members of the family. The host may provide refreshment at the end of the gathering as God will be helping him or her, nothing is too small.
Family Day
“Family Day” is a day where the families come together usually on Sunday as one to experience a new dimension of another service with different life changing experience like family choir, family drama, etc., and it is organized by the unit as God leads.
Finances
All members of the fellowship are expected to be responsible to the welfare unit. When we have surplus most especially when resuming early in the semester, we can donate whatever we have both in cash and in kind(food stuffs) as nothing is too small or too much, it will go a long way in providing for someone’s need. Luke 6:38 says “Give and it shall be given unto you…”
For effective and efficient administration, the unit needs at least a sum of ₦20,000.00 per month to be able to achieve the aim. All donations should be forwarded to either the family coordinators or the welfare coordinator. If outside school, you can always get the bank details from the welfare secretary to donate.
REMAIN BLESSED

Hab.2:1 anchors the watchword for the subgroup as she functions at the place of writing the WORD of God as creative and gifted scribes unto the kingdom. Maximizing the colourful, stylistic and innovative means of appealing to the human mind, the word of God is imprinted into men’s inner being as they behold articles, publications, editorials, reports, events’ notice and spiritual artworks on TACSFON VOICE (Editorial boards). The subgroup collaborates with other subgroups to fulfil the mandate.

[column_1 width=”1/1″ last=”true” title=”Publicity Subgroup” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]
The name publicity means so many things to many people.
Some said probably it is another name for evangelism, some sees it as a means of disseminating information, making people aware about an event that is about to happen and also a device designed to attract public interest.
However, publicity is established in the word of God which can be found in Psalms 68:11, which says “The LORD gave the word; great was the company of those that published it”. In everything we do or publish, we trust God, getting what God is saying, receiving the word into our heart so that we can live
the life and others can get it through us. Furthermore, TACSFON MOTTO says “Let no man despise thy youth but be an examples of the believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity” I Tim.4:12, this means that one way or the other we are to publicize in our words(what we alter), in our conversation with believers and
unbelievers.
Jesus Christ must reflect in our conversation, in love(brotherly love), in spirit(meekness and gentleness of the spirit), in faith(not going with multitudes and what physical eyes can see but to stand like Joshua and Caleb in their days), in purity(both inwardly and outwardly), meaning that we are doing it together.
Publicity as a subgroup is saddled with the following responsibilities: Publication of fellowship programmes. How?
Designing and pasting of posters.
Production of handbills.
Reaching out to people through writing and publishing bulletin.
Bringing about harmony amidst the fellowship and reaching out to others so as to identify us and be identified with us through stickers and other materials, which we produce and encourage people to place it on their doors and books.
Creating awareness about the fellowship, the location through sign post, banners, and pointers respectively.
Cutting of stencils for backdrops during special programmes.
The subgroup also name fellowship properties by dabbling on it or engraving the name of the fellowship on it.
Publicity subgroup work with other subgroups like Academics, Evangelism, Editorial, Foundation School etc., when the need arises as we also serve as P.R.O(Public Relation Officer) to the church and outsiders too.
We trust God to be sensitive to the need of the fellowship and attend to it.

[column_1 width=”1/1″ last=”true” title=”Foundation School” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]
Every building is built on a foundation and the sustenance of each is a function of its foundational strength. God needs no grade to admit a man to the place of making, thus no entrance examination is not conducted before admission into this God’s own school. Foundation school is one of the basic places of learning in the fellowship to activate and nourish the life of Christ in a man. With the tag, ‘raising disciples for Christ’ the school is fully committed to training recruits on the basics of the army of the Lord in the house and inculcate the habits expected of Christ followers in her students.
Modus Operandi
A lifelong operation that takes you through the journey of faith from Birth(Salvation) to the place of calling(Ministry) and how to trend the path towards achieving God’s nature(Holiness). The school is open to all members of the fellowship and believers of like-minds from 100L to 500L and spans for six(6) weeks as each week is for a class.
The six(6) classes are:-
Salvation (Class 1)
The provision of God for every mankind to deliver, save, and rescue from sin, its consequences and the coming wrath of God. It is a divine provision, not an act.
It is renewing: Rom.5vs8-21, Heb.2vs1-3, ITim.1vs15, and Lk.1vs67-71. There is a great change having repented from your sins and surrendered your life to Christ,
something new has started in your life, you have been ushered into a new life entirely. Since the day you believed in Christ and His death on the cross of Calvary to take away your sins and to save you, having confessed Him as your Lord and Saviour, you have been born again. Your first birth into the world gives you the natural human life, this second birth(new birth) gives you the spiritual birth in Christ Jesus. You have become a child of God(Jh.1vs12). You are welcome into the family of God, the Kingdom of God is now yours.
Consecration (Class 3)
The Grace of God that brings salvation comes along not only with the ability to say “no” to sin but also the ability to say “yes” to godliness and right living. If you have truly repented, you will not only stop sinning but start living God’s way in obedience to His words. As He appears to you to go and sell your riches and come to carry your cross, hope you will not be grieved.
Discipleship (Class 5)
Matt.4vs18-22, Lk.6vs40, Eph.4vs13-15, 24.
This is all about call to follow(Matt.4vs19). When a person comes to Christ, he or she becomes born again into the Kingdom. Thus, he has the trait and potentials of the divine nature with him who is immature, unexploited, and undeveloped. For such, God desires growth from being a babe(newly born again) into a child and ultimately into a man.
We discovered from the Scriptures that discipleship is the only means designed by God to bring His children into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, which is eternal purpose of God for saving us. It is the home training method in the household of God. Anyone who runs away from being a disciple is a bastard who would never grow to inherit anything in the Kingdom of God. It is a lifelong process by which God makes His children to become like Jesus. The process is personal and unique for every child of God. It is a definite process through which every believer who desires to fulfill God’s purpose for his life needs to pass.
It is not a classroom course but a relationship.
Justification (Class 2)
This describes the immediate even that follows after salvation experience. It is the act of God where they who put their faith in God are declared righteous in His eyes as if such never commit sin before and free from guilt and punishment. Rom.4vs6-8, Acts 13vs39 “old things have passed away”, your sins are forgiven. Prov.28vs13, IJh.1vs9(a).
God is faithful, just and merciful, having confessed your sins to Him, He has forgiven you no matter how terrible your sins have been, He has had mercy on you and forgiven you as He promised. As far as God is concerned, because of what Christ did for us on the cross in taking our punishment upon Himself, you are free. You have been declared “NOT GUILTY” before God. You are now free to walk closely with the Lord God and serve Him with nothing between. IICor.5vs17, Rom.3vs24.
Sanctification (Class 4)
A newly born baby would always desire milk and to grow unto becoming like her parents. Do you know that holiness is the nature of God and you as heir must be holy as your father is. A heavenly life that continues living the purged and purified heart given at salvation. It is in a complete removal of the instinct or character or adaptations of sin in one’s life or heart. It is a divine operation by which the heart is purified and purged of the tendency to sin and saturated with the perfect love of God. God wants you to meet the standard of heaven, the same which was lost in the Garden of Eden.
Ministerial (Class 6)
ITim.1vs11 – 15.
As redeemed and called out ones, God has saved us and He wants to save others through us and hold unto our salvation and keep on being saved.
He has deposited a measure of Grace in us that would make us efficient in our walk with Him. He did not save us that we could fold our arms, cross our legs and warm the bench. He has called us just as Jesus called the disciples that we may carry out the ministry of Jesus on earth to its fullness. Jh.17vs18-20, Jh.21vs15.
Know your position in the ministry as partaker. Your call(discovering your ministry)
Have a definite encounter with God, Know and recognize your part, Seek God through prayers and counsel, Maintaining the ministry. Rom.12vs4-12. Dwelling everyday with the word of God and waiting upon God in the place of prayer to receive of Him. Also, read Christian books, literatures, and magazines, be hardworking and be disciplined spiritually, physically, and emotionally in all wise
COME TO THE QUARRY SITE WHERE YOU WILL BE PRE-FINISHED SO AS TO FIT IN FOR THE WORK OF THE TEMPLE.
IIChr.2vs2, 18.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU COME…
