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.

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...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
