Diary of a Corper 11

14th May- 10th Day on Camp

Gallant and strong describes the way i felt when i woke up. Songs flowed from my heart to God as i moved to the parade ground.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.

Parade ground that was cold became hot when the camp commandant took over. We received the greatest punishment since camp started. As usual, only a few erred(...they came to the parade late), but we were all punished. When we complained, the commandant said that we are 'one body'. That sent me into a theatre of meditation.

Christ on earth exists as a body. As much as i would agree that the body is not united with respect to doctrine, i say that the greatest challenge against the body is immaturity. Many truths have been restored by the Spirit beginning from the days of protestanism, but many have refused to be established in the present truth.

A measure of God is in the catholic church; the denomination that God used to sustain or carry on the light of the knowledge of Christ throughout the dark ages which lasted for over 1,000 years.

Ephesians  4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

The punishment lasted for long and i really felt the pains from my knees(...the pains started from my secondary school; i attended a paramilitary secondary school where we received several punishments and i can't kneel down for long again since then).

I joined the web design class for skill acquisition and during lunch, i sat with some guys who talked about influencing their place of primary assignment. We call it 'long leg', but i call it 'tampering with God's sovereignty'. If our hands is in all our decisions, we will limit God in our lives which will dent our hope of fulfilling purpose. Those who leave everything in God's hands see God's hand in everything.

Though i wasn't marching, i wasn't released from the evening parade. It stretched me and my head ached for the first time on camp. I eventually took excuse to attend NCCF.

Psalms 84:7   They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

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 ...
