THE SPIRITUALITY OF CLERKING: INTERCESSORY PRAYER

For previous posts on the subject matter: clerking, please visit the following:http://medicology101.blogspot.com/2014/02/clinically-clerking-and-clecking.html and http://medicology101.blogspot.com/2014/03/love-clerking.html

To effectively present an individual’s case before God, the initial aspect of clerking i.e. History Taking of that individual is very necessary.

Areas desirable of such clerking include:

1. The presenting complaints i.e. specific prayers to be offered on behalf of that individual

2. History of presenting complaints

3. Prayer of forgiveness as regards the past medical and social(spiritual) history, as required

Actually, as with clinical clerking in which a person viewing a consultant clerking would probably be more impressed than while viewing that of a first year clinical student, with increasing spiritual age, the art of intercession gets better.

Physical examination, clinical diagnosis can be evaluated by a higher placed Christian, who has adequately mastered that art.

Irrespective of my spiritual height, I have been called to intercede. So have you.
God still seeks a man to stand in the gap.

EVERYDAY.

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.

#PROSE MONDAY# THE LINE

There is an arbitrary line, which once you cross, you know in your heart that you can’t step back. This is for those of us who have crossed that line and now, are somewhere betwixt full fruition and total loss… ‘If I did not dream, it would have been acceptable, If I didn’t nurse these thoughts to maturity, I would be flawlessly faultless, And if I had used adequate contraception to intercept this zygotic dream, this musing would be absolutely unnecessary, But the truth is, right now, I have lost the right to give up and as a matter of necessity, I have to reach the other line- the finish line. In and out of the labour ward, that has to be my future route. Now whether or not there’d be an after party, that’s seemingly irrelevant. Provided my baby is born! And although, like hyperbaric oxygen, the O ₂ of fierce thoughts roll through my mind at an extremely high pressure, I have to stand. And yet, if a lumber puncture is done on my mind, there is a si...

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...
