Diary of a Corper 19

22nd May-18th Day on Camp

The weather of Plateau state is unique among other states, but i will say the weather is very strange(...someone even said confused). The weather changes very often. If the sun is shinning brightly now, it can change into a storm in less than a minutes. The rain comes as if it is hiding behind the mountains. It is always unannounced. To worsen the case, the camp is surrounded by mountains which makes the camp vulnerable to very cold winds of the mountains.

We were punished during morning parade again because we were murmuring when the camp commandant wanted to speak.

There are two categories of soldiers on camp. The platoon instructors(...they hold fat sticks) and security officers(...they are always with their guns).

The commandant told us that some cult members on camp are planning to attack themselves. He said "I am ready to kill anyone who threathens another person's life and if you don't believe me, i will clear your doubt"

"I will clear your doubt" or "Are you doubting" is a common language among soldiers(...i attended a para-military secondary school). They use it when their subject is not obeying their words.

Many attimes, the Holy Spirit makes the same statement about us when we don't believe His words.

John  6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?  6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Cultural Night took place today. Several languages were spoken(...there were 3 different languages alone from Plateau State). After which the platoons exhibited a culture(...my platoon exhibited Edo culture).

As much as we cherish our cultures, we must know that their is no culture that perfectly align with the scriptures. So, we must seive our beliefs through the Word of God. I preach the culture of Christ.

Several tribes were on display today and everyone identified with one(...i identified with Oyo. Oyo and Imo had the loudest applaud). Do you know that there are 12 tribes in Israel and we all belong to at least one?

NCCF had family meeting today. Altogether, i have 14 new books.

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...
