#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...

NERVOUS TIME: CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND TIME

Although the nervous system is a pretty tangible mass comprising nervous tissue mainly, and time is quite intangible; there are pretty astonishing facts that they seemingly buttress in spite of their clear differences. Taking a break from our series on hearing right, we observe the astounding similarities between the nervous system’s component, the brain and time. 1.       Both offer you a grand choice : You  can decide to either fritt away or invest your time, as much as you can choose to waste a large part of your brain while shying away as much as possible from doing anything remotely mentally-exerting. 2.         Memory: The common phrase “Time will tell” briefly encapsulates the fact that time really, does manage to bring up decisions, actons, words of the past to stare into our faces. The concept of memory (which time makes use of) isn’t any stranger. Memory storage occurs in the brain; and certainly, in the hea...

FRUSTRATED???

Sometimes in doubt...but never gonna give up! Sometimes life in and out of the world of medicine could be downright frustrating. What do you do in such situations? Simply watch life unfold or what? I don’t know. Really. I wish I could tell you: Be strong! But sometimes, motivational speeches should be shoved down the closet- deep down. Cos they won’t work. So I’d tell you: look to the Lord and his strength, seek him even in the midst of your pain and the storms around you, cos the sun will shine again. It will. Cos God promises it will.
