The Chaplain of Joint Christian Campus Fellowship (JCCF), Rev. Rufus Awoniyi, has urged the newly admitted students of the Institution to jettison frivolities and remain committed to their primary aim on campus.
Awoniyi gave the advice on Sunday during his brief homily entitled: “Raising Saintly giant for Christ”, at the popular 800 seaters hall.
The respected Chaplain, specifically told the greenhorns to unlearn the “grasshopper mentality” that they wield, explaining that growing up to become academic giants requires allotting large chunks of time to read their books and study the word of God.
“If you want to become a giant you must remove the grasshopper mentality, you are on this campus not by accident”
He encouraged the freshers to make the campus a land of success and not a land of destruction.
Awoniyi also counseled past brethrens to live above board and ensure to sustain the pace of holiness, adding that their lives should be worthy of emulation.
Amplifying the pieces of advise by the Chaplain at the welcoming service today, the JCCF Bishop, Oke Mayowa, told the new students to allow the teachings of Christ reflect in their ways of life on campus.
Mayowa in his speech said, “all glory, honour and adoration be to the I Am that I Am, the ancient of days, the lover of our soul, Jesus Christ who died for our sins.
“On behalf of all the entire fellowship, pastors, Alumni, the present executives of JCCF (Joint christian campus fellowship), I wish to welcome the freshers 'and staylight to this glorious wonderful service where God's power is reigning for liberation, healing, salvation, deliverance and total emancipation.
“Raising saintly Giant for Christ Ephesians 2:19
This is God's promise for us as many that are ready to be used by Christ after we have surrendered our lives to Christ genuinely, to be used to populate the kingdom of God and shine the light, brightens the corner, campus where we are and to let others come to Christ through you as a saintly Giant giant raised by Christ with his fulfilling's mandate and defending the Faith.
“Of a truth, beloved, it is high time we prayed to God to be among the giant for Christ so as to put an end to the kingdom of darkness and hijacking the lost souls for Christ. God needs saintly Giant for good academics performance according to Deuteronomy 28:13 you shall be the head not the tail, and in all ramifications, and also for the leaders, staff to lead us right, he said.
