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 ...

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?...
