Diary of a Corper 20

23rd May- 19th Day on Camp

When camp first started, the queue for food (...guys are the ones that jump this queue) was not much because people still had money,but when the third week started, the queue became very long and the people patronizing the camp market reduced(...no money again). Now, the queues are almost non-existing because alawee have been paid.

A lot of people are hoping that they will be posted to the state capital-Jos while some others have even bribed some officials to  post them to Jos(...rumor said they paid 30,000). It is not until you are in a political/public office that you can be corrupt. Bribe giving/taking is against the scripture.

Psalms  26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.  26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:  26:10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

Today is the last day that one trumpet will wake me up by 04:00am. The atmosphere is very cold as usual.

I spent most of the day in my room. My bunk mate(...i was allocated to the upper bunk) asked if i have ever had sex and i told him that i haven't. He said that i will be clueless about sex and my wife won't enjoy me.

Marriage is not made for sex, but sex made for marriage, so it will be wrong for anyone to 'find out' if a partner is sexually compactible or not.

1 Corinthians 6:18   Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Dictionary defines fornication as sexual intercourse, especially on the part of an unmarried person.

Tonight is the last activity on camp- it will be camp fire night. While chatting with a friend from my platoon, my platoon leader approached us and he asked for #200 to buy 'ororo'. I didnt understand what he meant so he explained that the ororo is McDowell. I still didnt understand until my friend told me that it's alcohol. My friend replied that we are christians. He protested that he is a christian too, even a chorister.

Proverbs  31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

Camp night was really fun. Alcohol and cigarette was all over. Even clinic shared condoms before the event started. Soldiers forced everyone to stay on the field which was full of smell of alcohol. There was cooking competition too, but my platoon took the last position.

Zonal awareness in today's service was awesome.Places other than Jos in Plateau is highly remote.

Tomorrow is NCCF choice. Only God knows what He is planning.

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...
