THE PRINCIPLE OF HEARING RIGHT

What you hear, whom you hear, where you hear, determine where you will be heard- and what you will be heard saying.”
The principle of hearing right is classified aright by the bible. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the word of God”, we read. From here, we can deduce:
-Faith in the word of God comes by hearing the word of God
-Faith in the word of man comes by hearing the word of man
-Faith comes by hearing faith-filled/faith-driven/faith-driving words
-Fear comes by hearing fear-driven/fear-driving words
Actually, the ears listen to what we read. If you cannot pronounce a word i.e your ears cannot process it, it doesn’t make much sense, even if you can read it!
Hearing affects our attitudes, and I sincerely wonder how the deaf function attitudinally. We shall get to that some other day.
The human ear has 3 parts:
Ø  The outer ear- consists of the pinna and external auditory meatus
Ø  The middle ear- made up of the ear ossicles: malleus, incus and stapes
Ø  The inner ear
THE OUTER EAR


Anatomically, the pinna is the part of the ear we can see. Yes, that big fan-shaped structure which varies in size and shape from person to person.
Functionally, this part of the ear:
Ø  Collects sound
Ø  Directs sound waves into middle ear
Let us assume this part of the ear is cut off, i.e to the average person, this individual has lost an ear…what happens?
This is what happens: the individual loses the ability to locate the source of sound.
In relation to our series, it can thus be stated that the outer ear is what helps locate the source of our hearing input. Without its hearing being appropriate, the information needed cannot be collected and thus, is non-conveyable to the heart.
The  Phenomenal Earpiece

Earpieces are plugged into the external auditory meatus- i.e the passage way to the eardrum, which is the inner part of the outer ear…the one you can look into.
When we put on earpieces, this is the sequence of events which results, typically:
Wearing earpiece→ concentration of sound from a particular source→ blockage of sound from other sources→ concentrated transduction of sound waves to middle, inner ears
Actually, the usage of earpieces is a way of controlling what we hear.
And we can focus on making that positively inclined.
MED FACT: Medically, it’s been discovered that a correlation exist between an earlobe crease and Coronary Artery Disease/ other cardiovascular diseases!
Thus, physically, the outer ear could serve as a marker for heart diseases.
However, this is not only limited to the physical: the outer ear is always functioning in collecting and funneling sound- so be watchful as to the sources and characteristics of the sound it funnels. HEAR RIGHT!
More on the middle ear’s function comes up next.
Thanks for reading!

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

GOD; will you help?

Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Picture this: A woman is wheeled into the operating theatre (if you haven’t been in one before, you must have seen one in movies). She has been informed that a caesarian section would be performed on her, for which she has given written consent. And so the obstetrician is poised for surgery. Subsequently, he makes an incision on her abdomen. Cuts through layers of skin, fat, fascia and muscles. Finally, he locates and opens up the uterus. Pause. He says he cannot go on. He is tired of the surgery.  Just too tired to go on. He wants to rest. He removes his gloves and gown, walks out of the suite with the woman still on the table, a breached uterus with a nearly non-viable child, whose rapidly declining heart rate screams in horror, still within. Does this make even the minutest amount of sense? I hope not. Because it doesn’t. Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Sometimes,...
