LOVE LETTER TO MY FELLOW YOUTH-1

-
 

Dear friends,
Hope you are fine?
Well, I just want you to know that the period we 
are now in our lives is a crucial moment.
Someone said that the richest place is the grave 
yard because in them you will find ideas, visions, goals and destiny that were never achieved. 


But I believe that you and I can prove this saying 
to be false if we begin now to develop ourselves for the 
glorious future ahead of us.
When you see a great man don't wish you were 
him or possess what he has or envy him. No! You should 
find out the steps he took to reach that height in life. 
Learn from his mistakes and pursue them persistently, I believe that God's grace will be sufficient to take you to an unimaginable height.
Dear youth, please which gifts has God blessed 
you with that you don't want to harness into something valuable that will benefit you, the society and the younger generation?

The world awaits your manifestation. 'In the 
same way your light must shine before people, so 
that they will see the good things you do and praise 
your father in heaven.' (Matt 5:16)
Dear, Jesus did not say your light may shine. No!. 
He said your light must shine.
It is hence mandatory or compulsory to show forth 
the light of God. Let us pass the level of 'God please 
forgive me, I committed abortion'. 'I can't stop having an affair'.
It is like a boy who intentionally repeats primary six and 
doesn't want to move ahead to secondary school maybe 
because the secondary school is a boarding house and he still wants to enjoy his father's house rather than stay without his parents. I know you may call this foolishness but unfortunately many youths that are church goers and call themselves christians are still not ready to overcome sin with the grace of God and enter into the level of developing their gifts and using their time, treasures and talents to enhance the kingdom of God. 


Don't you know that sin fascinates then
assassinates you? Christianity is not a burden. Bishop 
Fulton Sheen describes Christianity saying 'Christianity 
is a religion of joy'. Truly, it is joyful to be a Christian. 

You companionship with the Holy Spirit who directs 
your life in everything even at the point of choosing a life partner. 
My dear youth, it is God that gives a right help 
meet to every man. Don't allow anyone to deceive you 
because marriage is a great union which will help both partners to support each other to uplift bethe kingdom of God and bring Glory to his name.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY

Life is in phases, starting from the childhood stage, the adolescence stage, the youth stage and finally the adult stage. There is a common Igbo adage which says: ‘ Mgbe onye ji tete ura bu ututu ya.’ When translated to English language it says: ‘whenever one wakes up, that is his morning.’ Your beginning starts whenever you are ready; it is a personal race not a competition.   Life should be cherished and lived to the fullest; in the spirit of love, hope and faith. There are different perspectives to life. It encompasses all   classes of men in life: the poor and the rich, the educated and non-educated, those in trials and tribulations and those having a smooth journey. We look at life in reality and in truth, it hopes to reveal facts; and helps us to appreciate the beauty of life and get along on the right track while travelling through the journey of life. We can ponder on the bitter truths in life and on issues to aid our cognitive abilities to explore these fa...

PHARMACIST'S OATH: MY REFLECTIONS.

Image
How time flies, the good news is that you are the pilot. I wrote this three years ago on my Facebook page and decided to post it on my blog. "I picked out my Pharmacist's oath to ponder on its contents, just like the 10 commandments, there was 10 "I shall" in the oath." The second 'I shall' is very delicate and demanding and it quotes: "I shall apply the full measure of my knowledge,  skills and abilities to improving the health and well being of all those I serve and place their needs above my personal interest and considerations" You may understand better if you do night calls,  after  and vigorous day duty and your body calls  for rest, when the patient comes knocking your sleep should give way for immediate attention to the patient. Today,3rd November, 2017 will be one year since I took the oath before many witnesses  and I thank God for the journey so far... I went to the Chapel to take it before God of whom I rely to fulfill the oath ...

MY DECISIONS

-

Sometime last year, I paid a visit to an elderly man whose son came to the pharmacy to get him some medications. I could understand what this man would be passing through, so I decided to go see him. When I arrived at the place he directed me to, I gave him a call in order to confirm the house. When I got in, I saw the man sitting; saliva was drooling from his mouth, he also urinated there and the son went ahead to clean it up. I asked to see his medications and the bag of drugs was brought. I found out he had not been taking his medications and had also resorted to herbal drinks which were bought at exorbitant prices by the woman he lived with. You will get to understand later.🙂 Among those of his children present, none was medically inclined. The good thing was that the daughter was an undergraduate student of Food and Nutrition, so we flowed together in the dietary management of her dad; of which he was doing excellently well. The son also helped in his exercise by taking him out v...
