#FRIDAY’S SPIRITUAL NUGGETS WHAT IS YOUR WORD?


Image result for what is the word that God gave to you? scripture images

The last few months of my life have been a little shaky, on so many fronts, and in the midst of it, I’ve been studying the book of Isaiah, discovering words that were made just for me, on days just for me (Smiles)
Some of my favorites are:
Isa 46:4 (TLB)
 I will be your God through all your lifetime, yes, even when your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and be your Savior.
Isa 29:17 (TLB)
Soon-and it will not be very long-the wilderness of Lebanon will be a fruitful field again, a lush and fertile forest.
I’ve come to the conclusion that a Christian who has no scriptural words to tackle situations is like a farmer without a hoe, or worse still a soldier who has a gun which is empty of bullets.
And so, the question this Friday is to the Christian reading this…what is your word?
What has God told you about the situation you’re in?
What is that passage of scripture you’re holding on to?
If you don’t have any, I’d suggest you pray and ask God to show you where ‘it is written concerning you’, and only because that will be your stabilizer, through rough and turbulent times. 
As someone said 'God's plan for your life far exceeds the circumstances of your day'. If one doesn't find out those plans, of course the circumstances of the day might be overwhelming.
Read the words in the picture again (*smiles*smiles*smiles).

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

CLINICALLY: CLERKING AND CLECKING

A typical medical practitioner knows all about this process of clerking, this is basically the first thing he does when attending to a patient i.e. he clerks. Clinically, clerking involves: 1.       History Taking- involves taking demographic data, noting the main presenting problems, past medical history, history of main presenting complaint, family history, occupational history, drug history, alcohol history e.t.c. Basically, it helps in determination of symptoms. 2.       Physical Examination- is useful in the elicitation of signs of the disease in question. 3.       Provisional and differential diagnosis: the clinical history and physical examination conducted will help the clinician arrive at provisional diagnosis, from which he arrives at a differential diagnosis. 4.       Management Plan- involves investigative procedures (e.g. haematological investigations) as well as a treatment plan for the diagnosed disease. How about clecking? Clecking is not a word that’s us

ALL THESE ENDLESS STUDYING !… On exams and fear All these comparing and measuring ourselves by ourselves! Its so wrong and self-limiting. All these numerous, bulky, endless exams in medical school can get even the strongest of us  jittery! However, the most successful person isn’t the one whose prime goal is a 100% on the scoresheet but those with the excellent mentality that to be a good doctor, you have to have the requisite knowledge. Just to remind us of our prime focus,  which is true excellence that comes, not from passing an exam from excelling superbly at what you do:  “Medicine is more than the application of scientific facts to treat people. If your highest goal is to simply pass the exams, you may still succeed but the journey will be fraught with much anguish. However, if you remember that someday, you can relieve the suffering of one individual or save just a person’s life from what you’d learn each day as you study, all your efforts will take a new meaning and purp
