Diary of a Corper 18

21st May- 17th Day on Camp

Few days to the end of camp(...Camp ends on monday) and everyone is happy and relaxed. The soldiers are no longer strict like they used to be.

Morning parade was very light and i was back in my room before 7am to rest before going back for breakfast. After the morning lectures, the marching competition started and it was a glorious ceremony. Every eye were on them. They moved so swiftly and uniformely typifying one of the characteristics of the army of the Lord.

Joel 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

My platoon(...winner according to most corpers) took the second position.

God has an army on earth right now. In the scriptures, only 3 sets of people were described as the army of the Lord: Gideon's Army-Judges 7, Joel's Army-Joel 2 and Ezekiel's Army-Ezekiel 37.

They have started giving us our first allowance and a lot of people are bent on drinking alcohol with it. Well, for me, it is the first money i will 'work' for. I see it as my first salary and so without opening the envelope, i dropped it as a seed in NCCF.

2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

I believe God to see me through the month.

After the contest, i slept for about 3 hours. NCCF drama night was really awesome; i kept on seeing a burning bush in my heart.

Cooking competition, Miss NYSC and Mr. Macho held in the evening, but i didn't attend(...things like that don't fascinate me).

I ate yam and potato throughout today(...God help me). Tomorrow's activity is still yet to be known, but i believe parade should stop now since the competition has taken place.

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...
