Ceaser's Portion


'Give to Caeser the things that are Caeser's, and give to God the things that are God's.' Mark 12:17

Spirituality sometimes beclouds our reasoning so much that we assume that praying, fasting and studying of God’s word means we do not have to work hard.
Frankly, the fact that you preach God’s word with so much fervor doesn’t give you the autonomy of being lazy at your job.
It is Caeser’s portion.
God is not pleased with laziness- it is diligence, not spirituality, that makes one stand before kings and not ordinary men. In actual fact, hardworking, unspiritual men and women excel because the law of sowing and reaping is super-real. Shouldn’t Christians actually be better employees/workers?
Hard work cannot be substituted for spiritual sensitivity, and vice versa.
This week, let us remember that as we work at our different jobs.
Happy New Week!

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...
