Don’t give up, Kumuyi tells Nigerians

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, on Sunday urged Nigerians not to give up over unpleasant life circumstances and challenges they may be facing, assuring that all would soon
be over.
Kumuyi pointed out that some difficult life conditions were meant to serve as training for believers in God and, as such, were meant to be taken in good faith.
He, however, declared that there was light at the end of the tunnel if they remained steadfast in God’s ways.
The cleric spoke during the church’s monthly revival programmed tagged, ‘soaring on eagle’s wings’ held at the Deeper Life Conference
Centre along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Mowe, Ogun State.
“God will not fail you; you will rise above life challenges and circumstances,” Kumuyi declared to the several thousands of participants,
who gathered for the two-day revival meeting.
The cleric gave the example of Joseph in the Bible who passed through several challenges before becoming the Prime Minister of Egypt.
While emphasising the importance of training, the Deeper Life leader noted that the trials and temptations Joseph passed through prepared him ahead of the leadership position he later occupied in Egypt.
He said, “Joseph’s dreams became fulfilled because he went through the training; everything happening to you is a training school for you. You
will get there. Don’t quit the school of training; don’t quit when things appear
tough, it is your training and you are soon getting there.
“What if Joseph had thought of the difficulties of his life challenges and gave up one month before the fulfilment? You will not give up!
All those things that are happening to you are for your good; and they will turn out right in Jesus name!”
Consequently, the cleric urged the participants and Nigerians to look on to God in every situation they were passing through, adding that their time of blessings would soon come.
While praying for the participants, he said, “Your time will not pass you by! Every step of your way will come at the appropriate time… every mark and calling in your life will come at the appropriate time.
“Pharaoh (King of Egypt in the Bible) had a dream and there was no one available to interpret the dream except Joseph. When you are the person to interpret, there will be no one else that will be available to interpret it! When God has trained you and it is time for you to assume your post, no one else will occupy your place and position in Jesus name!”
Quoting from Romans 8: 28, the clergy further prayed, “All things will work together for good for you. Dry your tears; you are in a training school.
All those things happening are meant to train you up and they are preparing you for the place where you will be. This is because all things work together for those who love God.”
