Salvation is light

Salvation is light

It struck me like lightning that day

The eloquence of the preacherwoman was on display

As she tried to convince the crowd

Concerning the truth that was shrouded

In mystery

Before then it was just a story

She stated that salvation was an immaculate hybrid of faith and works

For by faith are we saved and not of works...sayeth the Bible

Work out your salvation with 'fear and tremble'

At this point i was totally at sea

What sense in this message is there to see?

It was then that i remembered that theory about light

During my shs days when i was very bright

They taught that light is a particle as well as a wave

Basic shs physics huh...

Two forms of energy with opposing qualities

Ahah, i shouted....in my head of course

That was the perfect explanation for the faith-works mystery

For light in certain instances behaves like a wave and in others as a particle

All to enable it to carry out its wonderful work of overcoming the dark

And salvation is no different

By faith in Jesus we are saved

Then comes the working

For none can prove faith by idling

For Faith without working is dying

So then to overcome darkness that is sin

Our weapon is this faith-works property of salvation

One cannot exist without the other

For salvation is light

ABCD... in the bank, part 1

ABCD... in the bank. My phone rang at 12AM that day. I was in that stage of sleep where reality was dreamlike and dreams were tangible and real. The sustained ringing of the phone jerked me out of my sweet dreams and shook me out of its intoxicating effects. It was my sister. She skipped the salutations and blurted into my ear ,’ I need 15000 immediately, my life depends on it!’. I wanted to ask her what the emergency was but she was too busy shouting instructions on how I could get the money to her with lightening speed . I did not have that amount of money on me at that time. I never kept that much money on me just in case I ever got robbed. I was always sober and vigilant. I always took all the necessary precautions to prevent myself from getting robbed and I had been successful so far, but that day my luck run out. I got to the International Technical Bank early in the morning at exactly 8:30am. I was the...

BABIES AND COMPUTERS

The day the computer killed a baby. I was knocked down by a motorcycle that morning as I crossed the main road in front of the hospital to enter the premises. I hit my head on the asphalt road and lost consciousness briefly. When I came to, the motorcycle driver had fled and I was surrounded by some nurses who were also coming to work.They sent me to the emergency unit where the medical officer on duty took a look at me . I had sustained minor abrasions and cuts on my arms and face. I also had a small scalp swelling and my vision felt blurred, I attributed that to the cracks in my glasses .They had flown off and hit the road when the motorcycle sent me flying. In the end I had to do a CT scan since I had head trauma. I didn’t have the money to pay but since I was a house officer I thought the radiology department will help me out .They did not. They demanded cold hard cash. Hence I was unable to do the scan. I was on duty that morning for pediatric emerg...

A TEACHING HOSPITAL ?

Thoughts about a third world teaching hospital ‘Give people what they need: food, medicine, clean air, pure water, trees and grass, pleasant homes to live in, some hours of work, more hours of leisure. Don't ask who deserves it. Every human being deserves it.’-Zinn Medical school was bad enough. It ripped my academic genius image of myself off the wall of my mind. It stripped me naked of my self esteem leaving me with the first three items on marslow’s theory of needs ,food ,shelter and security. Security which I barely had in a school where students frequently suffered at the merciless hands of thieves and robbers. I barely survived. My daily prayer was to get 50% in every exam, pass the final exam and run away in one piece. I did get away in one piece but I did not have peace afterwards. I started working in a teaching hospital few months after passing my final exam. On the first day I was sent to the emergency department . As soon as I...
