NOTHING: THE ESSENTIALITY OF THE MOMENTARY HOPE.

What keeps a man alive?
What made Paul say: “For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, 39 or where we are-high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean-nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us.”?
He was ABSOLUTELY (emphasis on absolutely) sure that nothing could separate us from the love of God. Does this mean that no matter who I am, where you are, and what we’ve done, we are not inaccessible to the love of God?
I’ve tried to no avail to find something that we would possess physically, regardless of being dead or alive (a key criterion for the impossibly unending love of God). Truth is, I couldn’t come up with one (well, am really not that smart so I’d appreciate kind comments).
I’d love to explain that we are not inaccessible to our brain tissue, regardless of whom we are, whether slave or free, educated or uneducated, in the sea or on land and whether we were dead or alive. Truth is, I can’t. Or I could say that nothing can separate us from the pumping capacity of our heart, and whether we were dead or alive, we would still have blood flowing in our veins. No I can’t! Neither can we live without breathing. Maximally, we would live for a few proven seconds/minutes/hours under such conditions, but once one is certified clinically and legally dead, well…he/she is so separated from the things that sustain the lives of humans.
In effect and as a matter of fact, the human body is still temporal.
However, we are all spirit beings, and my interpretation of Paul’s conviction is that we ALL have access to God’s love, even those who are dead in sin!
May the love of God see you through...and through.

LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING (2)

Labour/ birthing of dreams has three main phases, to view the 1st Stage and what it is correlated with, please check LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING . Thank you. STAGE 2: This is the stage of labour that begins from the full dilatation of the cervical os (10cm) till the baby is delivered. It is extrapolated with diligently seeking your dream and getting it.  These are called the (iv) Seeking stage (v) Getting stage     Phase 1 (SEEKING STAGE): It begins from the full dilatation of the cervical os till the leading part of the fetus is on the pelvic floor. It is often marked by an irresistible urge of the mother to push and in regards to the birthing of a dream; the tenacity of the dreamer concerning the dream. (S)He keeps pushing till it is realized. IT IS THE "I SOUGHT IT STAGE". When normal, this phase is characterized by: ·          Strong contractions ·        ...

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
