5th May- First Day in Camp

Sleeping in a bus isn't one of the experiences anyone could covert. I couldnt sleep for more than 1hr 30mins and so by 04:45, i was awake. Took some time to pray in the Spirit.

By 05:50, we resumed our trip that started from Oyo state to Osun state to Ondo state to Edo state to Kogi state to the FCT to Nasarawa state.

We were told that once we leave Nasarawa state, we will be in Plateau state, but before we entered Plateau, we found ourselves in a vast grassland and all the signposts read Kaduna state. After 4hours, we were at the camp gate where the soldiers took a pound of flesh of my body.

Registrations started with several queues for the different stages and i began to see several soap operas.

Dictionary defines a queue as a line of people, vehicles or other objects, in which one at the front end is dealt with first, the one behind is dealt with next, and so on, and which newcomers join at the opposite end (the back).

So a space on a queue is like a property and if you jump queue, you are replacing the property of everyone with an inferior one.

Lemme say this
-Jumping queue is not a smart act;it is a rogue act
-Jumping queue is not a game; it doesn't entertain.
-Jumping queue is not fun; it annoys.

Do u remember that story of David and Prophet Nathan? Nathan told him a story of a man who took a poor man's lone lamb and killed it to entertain his own visitor. Jumping a queue is worse because you are taking the lone lamb of several.

I also noticed that 65% of the people jumping queue were ladies(...sincerely, i calculated it). One actually took my space and when i challenged her, she said i should allow her because she is a lady(actually she simply said "ladies' things"). I had no choice than to allow her(...but i didnt smile at her).

I remember the 7 additives of faith that Apostle Peter told us -virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, Godliness, brotherly kindness and Love.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy-James 3:17.

I finished my registration around 7pm, ate and went to bed.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...
