Seasons and allergies


 

She woke up 5am to an intense itching in the left ear, quite strange it’s the first time she’s experiencing such; with no time to process the whole thing she goes in search of an immediate relief.

With that accomplished, she thought it was over but it seemed to spread reaching the ears, nose, throat and eyes. Afraid it may be pointing to something worse, she goes to the Hospital for a check up and voila turns out she’s having allergies, most likely triggered by the change in season. The moment it was discovered, it was taken care of.

Our lives are a function of time which is fragmented into seasons and with those seasons come allergies. The wise King stated it this way “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens” (Ecc. 3:1 NIV).

Each season is meant to usher in something new or to create a giant leap in something that’s already in process but we see time and again that with the ushering of something phenomenal comes storms and difficulties such that what was meant to be a “smooth ride” turns out rough, sometimes chaotic within and without with the devil hoping to gain an advantage; making the saying ‘nothing good comes easy’ quite popular. I like to term those allergies.

It is true that we live in a fallen world but we are not subject to it. We’ve been called out of every tribe, nation and tongue and have been called into the Kingdom of His dear son ordained as Kings and priests unto our God, oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendour.

We know that allergies must come but we understand that they are surmountable and we can go through life making them an advantage rather than a problem. For in everything, all things work together for the good of those who love God and are the called according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28 paraphrase) .

The anointing you received from Him remains in you, and teaches you about all things. Wisdom for the season is made available. Glean from it and make use of it.

No ‘allergy’ is new, what you need is a ‘Guide’. So next time you have ‘allergies’ remember help is only a thought away (Psalm 139:2; 4).

Beholding as in a mirror (The power of vision)

Image
And we all with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit. 2 Cor. 3:18 (NIV) The body is made up of many parts amongst which are sense organs, and these have special features that grant them direct connection to the higher centre. They have in them the capacity to send and receive impulses and one of such is the eye. Having a ‘functional’ eye means you can see and correctly interpret that which is before you.  The word of God calls our attention to something profound that makes for growth and progress and that is the power of vision ; the ability to see, to perceive. It is a principle that enables taking hold of a thing. Through scripture we see God using the power of sight to birth things in the earth realm and communicating the same to people in different dispensations, from Abraham to Moses to David to Jeremiah to the Apostles and the church. And God said, let there be l...

Beyond the white coat

Image
It's been two(2) years of practice as a Medical Doctor and the journey has come in different shades with every experience stretching me beyond the previous limit and pushing toward something better. Medical practice has been a blessing, not that it comes with a lot of benefits but because I get to serve selflessly and see the smile of a patient that gets better. As a reflect today, I wonder if, asides family members and close associates, does the world really see beyond the white coat? Pardon me if I'm wrong, however it seems to me that the world sees a help, a hero/heroine, a doctor, "the favoured specie",  just someone paid to take care of health issues and that person has to be available when needed no matter the timing or circumstance but is that all about us? Do you remember doctors are humans? Do you recognize that they have a life outside work with responsibilities just like you? Do you know the traumas? Do you see the scars? Do you see us beyond the white...

Fear the controller

Fear; False Evidences Appearing Real, whoever defined it in those terms was right. Famous fear, thriving in the mind and exploring the senses; its name sending chills down the bodies of millions maybe billions; a jailer with trophies to its name. As a child I was afraid of the dark, somehow, I was made to believe that there was a nameless monster waiting in the dark to grab me. It was so bad that once it was dark, even with the lights on I wouldn’t go for an errand alone and guess who I carried along? My kid brother. It’s funny right? Yes, it was that bad. Even though over time, I have been able to conquer fear of the dark I have come to realize with time that it wasn’t just that particular fear that had me in its control. Oh! I discovered that there were other aspects of my life that were in its control. For instance, the fear of heights but I think the worst for me was the fear of failure. Seems like a good kind of fear, right? Hmm! I can’t tell the extent to which it affected me...
