THE DEGENERATE NERVE


Heb 6:4-6 (AMP)
For it is impossible [to restore and bring again to repentance] those who have been once for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit,  And have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and world to come, If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance — [it is impossible] to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh [as far as they are concerned] and are holding [Him] up to contempt and shame and public disgrace.
Nerves are the essential intermediary connecting the brain to the effector cells. A nerve is composed only of axonal (distal) segments of different neurons carrying signals in the same direction, it is a bundle of fibers forming a network that transmits messages in the form of impulses between the brain or spinal cord and the body's organs. While motor nerves carry impulses outward to the muscles and glands, sensory nerves carry inbound information about the body's movements and sensations. Mixed nerves perform both functions.
Spinal cord injuries in humans and other mammals are never followed by regrowth. Although the CNS when isolated from a 9-day old animal(opossum pup) will regenerate in vitro, CNS from a 12-day old will not. This is because at this stage, glial cells have developed in the CNS. Glial cell growth could represent a stage of development in your spirit man. When they develop, its equivalent to the development of  Naturally Acquired Active Immunity to the devil’s antics.

 Therefore, if a nerve is severely damaged, the signal between the cell body and the effector cells is interrupted and neurons are unable to convey effective requests to effector cells e.g. a muscular movement. However, there are conspicuous differences in the regenerative capacity of nerve cells and Christians as well; with respect to age. The older and more developed a nerve cell/Christian gets, the less his regenerative power.

 A degenerated nerve can be likened to a spiritually dead person who was once a very strong believer. He witnessed everything about God and still didn’t went back to the world. Thus, they are making the death of Christ of no effect; grieving the Holy Spirit by not serving the original purpose for which they were delivered from sin and consequently death; crucifying Christ afresh!
‘For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for which sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessings from God: but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.’ Heb 6:7-8

He that thinks he stands should take heed lest he fall…be careful so you do not fall!

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

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespective of shortcomings. However, neither significance nor connection nor human love, make us feel fulfilled. Why else would 2 people who can’t seem to do without each other still feel that somehow, there’s still a missing element to life, even

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.
