Sanity can be defined as a state of
being healthy and sound in mind and spirit, it also means soundness of mind,
soul and spirit. Deploying Nigerian constitution as a case study, a sane person
by the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria is one capable of
negotiating a contract; by signing it as acceptance as well as concluding the
contract as expected after supervision. So, to determine your sanity; “How many
contracts were you able to accomplish in the past years? Some has executed
career contracts as job seekers while others has also concluded educational
contracts as students with certifications as prove. If you have not been able
single handedly handle local or international contracts without assistance, you
may be deemed as an insane or unsound person, but if you have done so, you are sound
and normal personality as well as responsible for your aspirations.
Now, based on above notion, looking
at this article from the angle of a saint, who is a saint? A saint is a Holy
person whom the Christian Church recognizes as being holy because of the way
they lived or died, example in the holy are St Paul, St. John, St Marks, St.
Mathew Etc. These have written epistles for humanity to emulate the standard of
living in the society. And as a matter of fact, they are Models of their era.
Counting on their experience remains a standard to triumph in the world of
wickedness and adulterous generation as Jesus prescribed.
So, the question remains “how sound
and solid are the postulated idea of these saints to human theories? The human
theories are by trial and error, guazes, hypotheses etc. while their ideas are
divine and tested by practical proves that command result as signs and wonders.
By this, will you conclude that these saints are sane or insane? To the worldly
standard, they tend to be insane as well as fanatics because they are not
predictable as a result of a controlling force or power that instigates their
actions and activities. But to the people in God’s kingdom, who understand the
mysteries as well as secrets that guard them, also understand their moves by
the spirit, and can see them as sound personalities.
Now, let us dive into the trends of
their sanity using the Holy Bible as a case study to point out one or two
verses of chapters that support their sanity, by what I have said: JOHN 15:17-19 which says: “ These things I command you, love one
another (18) if the world hate you, you know that it has hated me, before it
hate you (19) if you were part of the world, the world will be fond of what is
its own. Now, because are not part of the world, for this reason, the world
hate you.” This is one of the words from St. John that proves the Sanity of
the saint in their facts, another one is cited from John 17:12-17 and I John 15-17 which states, “Do not love either the world or the things in the world, if anyone
loves the world, the love of the father is not in him (16) because everything
in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and showy
display of one’s means of life does not originate with the father (17)
Furthermore, the world is passing away and so it’s desire, but the one who does
the will of God remains forever”.
Now, having seen the trends that
proves their sanity, in conclusion, the sanity of saints will make you or
destroy you depending on how you accept their facts and deploy it to work in
your life and ministry. And that is why it is written “All things are according
to your faith”, how sanity are those doctrines you practice? But you should
know that your life and destiny are tied and depend on those doctrines you
accept, and that is the foundation of your future on planet earth and divinity.
Long lives Federal Character commission, long lives federal republic of
Nigeria, long lives Nations of the world.
