Diary of a Corper 4

7th May-3rd day in Camp

Swearing in day finally showed up(...i was able to tie my belt) and we took an oath to do somethings. Oaths are very binding for anyone who values the word of his mouth. While we were taking the oaths, i remembered God took an oath too that we will be priests forever after the order of Melchizedek which means we have access into God's presence forever. God's oath is binding; mine should be too. Friend, if you cannot pay the price of an oath, don't bother taking it. Let your word be expensive just like our Father. I had to snap the oath form to always remember the promise i made. The ceremony lasted 4hours of which we were in the sun all through and the man o' war ladies won the tug of war.

The atmosphere on the camp really chokes Zoe. You hear Wizkid on parade and Olamide in your room, in fact, it looks like Wizkid in my front, D'banj on my right, Olamide on the left and Tuface behind(...i am very very sensitive to songs).It seems like everyone around is flowing with it and even the supposed S.U. have started shaking to Olamide. I began to really feel pressured; my personal devotions is not enough to stand and stay strong in an environment that a speaker is screaming Tuface while you are reading John chapter 1. So i began to seek for help.

I moved forward with my registration today because there was queue.You remember that scripture that says by wisdom, a house is built.

There have been troubles about toilet cleaning in the camp. During the day, i entered the toilet without water to urinate and a guy disgraced me out (...he even threathened me with a soldier,so i ran out). Afterwards, i felt quite bad because my mom has always told me to flush even after just urinating. I only obeyed her most of the time which led to my disgrace in a toilet. Always flush the toilet after just urinating.

At the evening parade, i began to uncounsiously meditate and sing loudly. It caught the attention of the person in front of me and we chatted for a while. I discovered that he stays in my room and he attended the Lagos State University chapter of the fellowship i atttended while i was in college too(...our meeting isnt a coincidence).

After the parade, i decide to forgo my food and rushed to NCCF meeting. It was really refreshing to hear songs sang by many people which my spirit could enjoy; it was awesome. The local govt chairman of the location of the camp preached(...i have never heard any politician with his depth). I joined biblestudy unit afterwards.

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

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 ...

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 ...
