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.

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...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
