Diary of a Corper 14

17th May-13th Day on Camp

Being in a room of more than 100 occupants is a big adventure. When you feel sleepy, Messi and Ronaldo may be holding a presidential debate; when you want to study, Goodluck and Buhari are on the football field; curses fly around like molecules of air and buckets travel like an Emirates plane(...i have found mine). While someone is using a mosquito net as a cover cloth, many are snorring after drinking.

After a sound sleep of about 7hours, i dressed up for service without catarrgh. I sat beside the window and a lady with a fancy phone sat beside me. She chatted and played game for more than half of the service. This is actually quite common nowadays. People chat during service and it is not a sign of respect for the presense of the Father.

Social media which has come under great attack by some church members is actually a tool in the hands of the Lord through us. It is the same story with the television. It was called the devil's box when it was first produced, but later was discovered to be a very great tool in the hand of God.

Social media should be used by christians for Christ.

Colossians  1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

There was a drama presentation during the service. A man dressed like God had he face painted all white and a questionn dropped in my heart. Is God old?

God is ancient, but He doesn't grow or develop.

Hebrews  13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

I ate 3 square meals today and i discovered that the food i thought to be Semovita is actually Tuwo(...i have eaten it like thrice without discovering).

My cultural dance group lost out of the competition.

News filtered into camp that 70 people were killed in Plateau state yesterday. My reality is shalom shalom; nothing missing, nothing broken.

My system is back at home without a scratch...God is faithful to His word

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?...

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 ...

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 ...
