HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE?

A lady some years ago fell terribly ill. She was in between life and death. She was rushed to the Hospital at about three o’clock in the morning. She could hardly breathe and it seemed life was being snuffed out of her. On getting to the Doctor, she was asked to be admitted and the Nurse was to place her on the bed and then administer drips on her. The lady had hardly sat down on the bed when the Nurse shouted on her to be fast. As the patient gasped for breathe, she shouted even harder asking her to better explain the way she was feeling so that she could be transferred to the teaching hospital. You know what? The Nurse constituted more sickness for the patient! It was emotional pain. There was no simple display or show of love even if it had to be faked! Well, that Patient was ME! However that was not just my first experience with unpleasant nurses. Did I hear you say it can’t happen in Private Hospitals? I’ve had experience on both sides. My question is this… What are the characteristics of Nurses? Are they not meant to be warm and caring? Is this attitude just peculiar to Nigerian Nurses? Is it that they are not being paid well or they were forced into their profession? What on earth could be their reason for constituting a nuisance in the system? You know why I’m so passionate about this issue and had to take a step forward to write on it? MANY innocent souls have died because of the careless attitude and harshness of some Nurses! I even heard the story of a Nurse who was on afternoon shift and was already closing up to hand over for the person on the night shift. Few minutes into packing her bags, there was an emergency and a Man was rushed into the Hospital who was bleeding seriously: aftermath of a ghastly motor accident. She was so much in a hurry that all pleas to take in the Man’s record to be attended to, fell on deaf ears. She told them she had to go home to prepare her Husbands meal and they should exercise patience for the next Nurse that was going to take over from her who was not yet around. As for the Doctor on duty, I don’t know anything about him or her. To cut the long story short, this Nurse got home and the Husband was not yet back. It was quite un-usual. It was her husband that was rushed to the same Hospital! The Man died! She was even too much in a hurry to look at his face! Now how many people have lost their lives in the hands of cruel and hard hearted nurses? Nurses that will never be patient with a woman in labour pains? Nurses that will hiss and shout on their patients? Have you ever been involved in these cold attitude of Nurses? What can actually be done? PLEASE, share with me…

WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOU?

On the 27th day of September 1954 at Omu-Aran, Kwara state, Nigeria, a baby boy was born to Mr Ibrahim and Mrs Dorcas. He was named Olaniyi Oyedepo. Little did they know that in some years to come, this child that wasn’t given any special attention was going to be a world acclaimed preacher! The seed of greatness was planted in him from birth! On January 29, 1954, a baby girl was born to unwed teenage Parents. She had a mountain of obstacles already in front of her as a new born baby. Her mother was an eighteen year old housemaid. She was raped by a cousin when she was nine years old and later molested by a male friend of her mother’s and by an uncle. Above all, she was very poor. Today, she is a National celebrity and considered as one of the richest women in the world. I believe you know who I’m talking about. It’s Oprah Gail Winfrey. On the 2nd day of March 1942 at Ifewara, present day Osun state, a baby boy was born. For the first 17years of his life, he was never able to boast of a shoe and walked bare- footed for lack of money. 51 years after, President’s and kings of the world count it a privilege to dine with him. Pastor Adeboye is a man mightily used by God to liberate thousands of souls from problems that money cannot solve! On the 14th day of July 1954, a baby girl was born to Chief and Mrs Paul Young Edemobi. She was named Dora Nkem Edemobi. Little did they know that her name will be written on the sand of time and would become a Professor and Minister in the same country! Professor Dora Akunyili is here for you to see. On the 4th day of August 1961at Hawaii, a baby boy was born. He was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. He was also raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his father who was a domestic servant to the British. They didn’t have much money and he had to take out loans to put himself through school. That boy has grown up to be Barrack Obama. The first black American President! On the ---------------------------- YOU were born! No one knows what will become of you YET. Eyes have not seen neither have the ears heard, nor the heart conceived it. You have gone through various challenges you might have even wished you were not born. Brace up! It’s not new but rather warming you up for that place of glory you’re to occupy. That seed of greatness still lies within you. It will spring forth! At the appointed time it will speak, the world will marvel! Be convinced that you’re taking your place. Encourage yourself if nobody is. One thing is very common and constant amongst these people… THEY FACED CHALLENGES!!! On all sides! Some of their challenges outnumber what you’ve ever gone through in life when combined together. What could be the worst situation you’ve ever faced or will ever face? IT”S NOT NEW!!!!!!!!!!! Now, choose not to spend time regarding or considering your present circumstances and challenges. You know what you’re supposed to spend time on? NURTURING THAT SEED OF GREATNESS IN YOU! It’s there! The above nurtured theirs! You just have to nurture yours too. How? Study, work, pray, connect and be disciplined! I’m watching out for you!!!

I HAVE SEEN!

Who am I to judge? Who am I to point accusing fingers? However my Bible tells me To correct my brother who is erring Telling him to depart from his evil ways. I have seen her call herself a Christian I have heard him say he is Born Again Yet he is David at home But Kingsley outside Mary at home, but Janet outside. How long would we play around two kingdoms? If God be God let us stick with him If it be the devil, then do likewise. How long would we bear his name Yet, betray him in the eyes of all? My eyes have seen! From afar they proclaim!!! Getting into the inner chambers… The stink is repulsive Yes!!! It’s that bad. The day is coming When he would SEPARATE!!! Yes, SEPARATE!!! Between him that serveth him And him that serveth him not. Who are we deceiving? No one but ourselves. Let the one who fears God indeed Choose to depart from iniquity A word is enough for the wise.

HAVE YOU EVR FACED REJECTION?

REJECTION Have you ever been rejected at one time or the other? Has mum ever looked into your eye and told you that your birth was a mistake? Has Dad ever told you he's not even sure if he's really your Father? Has your sister ever told you that she's more beautiful than you or your teacher told you that you just can't make it above average and most especially a point my write up will always focus on... Has a guy ever looked into your eye and told you that you're so fat and he wondered why he ever asked you out in the first place? Or rather, you don’t deserve him. Has a girl ever looked into your eye and told you… Is this what your mates are giving their girlfriends? The questions are endless. However, if your case was not mentioned, I leave a blank space for you to fill it in........................................................................................................................... BOTTOM LINE, you've been rejected at one time or the other. Someone once said a lady walked into a room full of girls with her sitted, looked into her eyes, and in the presence of everybody said..."I just hate you." If you were the one, what would your response be? People at one time or the other might have said some nasty things to your face or behind you which is not necessarily because you have some character flaws but because they either don’t just like you or are not comfortable with your confident and lively personality. Some sadists are not just happy around lively people. One thing I want to make clear here is that no matter the bad compliments you might have gotten from people or you still get on a daily basis, always have it at the back of your mind that the problem is not with you but with the person. People can think and say what they like which you can in no way control. Even God cannot control our thoughts and actions! So, what's the way out? 1. Get rid of every negative mindset that might have been built in you over the years and the best bet is eating the word of God! It works like tonic. 2. If possible, try to avoid being around people that never have something good to say about you. It’s healthier to stay around people that celebrate you. 3. Take a journey inwards and discover your uniqueness. You’d fall in love with the real you when you find yourself. 4. Always have it written in your heart that regardless of the external and negative situations and utterances, you’d let it stay outside and not come into you. Never brood over it. Dispose it as fast as you can and replace it with what God says about you. Remember, he's the only one that loves us genuinely and dares to watch our backs even when we are not. KEEP THIS... You're the best of your kind. I love you and how much more God?
