has asked Nigerians to take their destiny in their hands. He said people in the country should stop worrying about the challenges in Nigeria, but put their trust in God and change their perception about themselves.
Kumuyi said this during a two-day ministerial visit and campus crusade organised by the
Campus Christian Mobilisation Committee of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State.
While ministering to thousands of people at the new religious ground of the the OAU, the cleric said, “Nigerians should take their destiny in their hands. People should not be discouraged by whatever problems they are facing now, either as individuals or as a nation.”
He gave a description of the different kinds of people in the world, saying while some saw
themselves as “grasshoppers”, others saw themselves as “conquerors”.
He said, “There is need to be like the biblical Caleb, who never allowed the towering, scary figure of the giants they saw to dissuade him from entering the land of Canaan. Caleb gave a positive account of what he saw and encouraged others to be optimistic. You are what you think you are.”
He prayed for God’s wisdom for members of the university in the discharge of their
responsibilities.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Bamitale Omole, said the administration placed
premium on giving God His rightful place as the true foundation of the institution.
The VC commended Kumuyi for accepting the invitation to minister on the campus.
He said Kumuyi “is indeed one of the few remaining exemplars of the ideal Christian faith
today.”
