Diary of a Corper 13

16th May-12th Day on Camp

I dressed up smiling mischieviously because i know i wouldn't be at parade because of cultural dance practise. (...i woke up with catarrgh). After the morning prayers, the dance group went aside and started training and i was chosen to beat the gong. The gong is the same instrument used to announce a message from a yoruba king.

Our mouth is like a gong, announcing something or better still announcing someone. We are visible in the spiritual world. Angels and Demons can recognise us(...remember the 7 sons of Sceva). How we use our mouth will determine how much respect we will get from both Angels and demons.

Matthew  8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.  8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

Did you notice that Jesus was recognised before even talking?

James  3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

The HIV/AIDS training ended today and we took an oath to be faithful to the work. I am now a PET(Peer Educator Trainer). After the small ceremony, we held a rally round camp where we sang several songs to sensitize the corpers and soldiers about the virus. The lyrics of one of the songs goes thus:

"How many boyfriend only you get)2ce

Eeeh, you go catch HIV)2ce

Eeeh eeeh eeeh, you go catch HIV

How many boyfriend only you get"

I sat among some igbo boys during a football match between corpers and staffs(...corpers won 2-0). The boys were talking about how they do sit in a formation manner during exams while they were in school. I am familiar with that talk. Helping someone in the exam hall is not love,it is exam malpractise.

James  3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

I have always wondered where musicians get the ladies they use in their music videos, but am no longer confused about that. I have seen very shameless girls here(...God have mercy).

Proverbs 31:10   Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

I couldn't beat the gong for my platoon at the eventual presentation because my head was aching and the temperature of my body was quite high so i went to sleep without dinner(...the rice served was half cooked). I was interviewed again at NCCF and it is becoming scary.

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 ...

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?...
