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.

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

  Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in.

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
