POST-EMOTIONAL NARCOLEPSY


Isaiah stood and then, he stooped;
A seasoned prophet for the umpteenth time, absorbing a message from his Master:
‘Isaiah can you hear me?
I will come to heal the broken-hearted,
Yes, all of them
I will come (and Isaiah sensed him smile)
To set at liberty the bruised in spirit
So tell them,
Tell the bruised reeds to come, with their broken hearts, worn bodies and all;
I will heal all!’
Isaiah stood from his stooped position once again,
Flipped his brown parchment over howbeit, skeptically;
He had to continue now:
For excitedly, the Lord was saying:
‘Emotional narcoleptics can be healed of their visceral pain
They can all have restored circadian rhythms, if they so choose’
Isaiah looked up, this time with a glint of understanding in his eyes
The people  around were staring at him as if they could perceive an aura of  imminent madness,
He seemed to be talking to himself, but no, he was having a discussion with Yahweh
‘But when are you coming?
When do I tell them you’re coming?’
‘Isaiah, you just do this
Make me proud by delivering this message
And when you see me, you’d smile in full understanding’


This is a sequel to last Monday’s post on emotional narcolepsy.
Emotional narcolepsy isn’t normal, no one should be emotionally asleep due to deep-seated pain or anguish. There is a healer in the house! Part of his mandate is the restoration of emotional health.
Freedom calls out to us people! Let us embrace it

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, irrespectiv...

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.
