Diary of a Corper 22

25th Day- The day i left camp

A plateau is defined as a largely level expanse of land at a high elevation; tableland by the dictionary. Plateau state(...Shere hills in particular) is the highest point from sea level in Nigeria. The sky is closer than any other place. When it is raining, you can clearly see the clouds pouring down. Also, the mango here is as big as a coconut. I bought it once and i couldn't finish it. Yam is so abundant here. It seems like everyone in this state is a farmer.

On camp, there is hardly a breathing space. Secular music are all over and the rooms are filled with all sorts of vulgar languages.

The timetable of the camp says that we wake up by 4am to prepare for morning meditation and parade which will end by 8-8:30am. We are expected to take our breakfast before 9am when lectures will start. Lectures end by 2pm and evening parade starts by 4pm till 6pm. The timetable is so packed that you might forget all about God.

These are the strategies the Lord used to uphold me:

-I pray/meditate when i am on the parade ground.

-I made friends that are burning for the Lord and we discussed scriptures a lot.

-I make sure i read my bible everyday; even if its just a verse.

-I attended NCCF meeting everyday to get strenghtened coperately.

-I play songs from my phone to determine the atmosphere around me.

-I engaged in spiritual warfare with the principalities of the land in prayers with respect to evangelism.

I spent most of my day at the NCCF tent arranging bags. The passing out parade wasn't long and posting letters were distributed. I began to feel nolstagic about leaving the camp. One highlight that still rings in my heart was when the NYSC officials were dancing one evening and the time clocked 06:00pm which is the time for a trumpet to sound and everyone will stand still facing the Nigerian flag. That evening, though the trumpet sounded, the officials kept on dancing and nothing happened. I remembered a picture that prays for a grace that breaks protocol.

By virtue of being a state executive in NCCF, i was posted to NCCF as my place of primary assignment so i moved to Jos at the National Secretariat(...Plateau is the national headquaters of NCCF). During the journey, it rained ice! Plateau is really a place for tourism. There is certainly no state like this in Nigeria.

I took some time to pray in the Spirit after dinner and went to bed. Tomorrow will be for local government registration.

This marks the end of my orientation as a corps member and the beginning of an apostolic course and also the end of DiaryOfACorper.

I will share more scriptures tomorrow.

Thanks for your audience. I love you

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in.

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
