Kumuyi urges DLHS students to aim high in academic pursuits

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, has urged students to aim beyond success to significance in their academic pursuits and life.

Kumuyi, who stated this when he paid an unscheduled visit to the Deeper Life High School (DLHS), Lagos Campus, said with determination and commitment, any student can attain greatness.

Kumuyi, who said any student can become significant, shared how he attained excellence in his career.
According to him, each student should aim at success, stand out and work towards relevance.

“Many students stop at success, they take exams, pass, get their certificates and are happy with that. But success should be the foundation and the springboard from which you launch out and stand out.

“After success, you must work to stand out. There are many who, after they have attained success, do not plan or work to stand out. It takes continuous and serious commitment to stand out in the crowd.The cleric identified the third factor as relevance, pointing out that when one is significant, such a person is almost indispensable.

“It means you’re doing something you know how to do and you have a goal, a purpose for getting it done.”
Giving exposition on his life trajectory, the respected cleric said: “During my days in school, I focused on success.  Later, in my advanced level, I concentrated on Pure and Applied Maths. I brought that to focus. Eventually, I got to the university and I set these three words as benchmarks for myself.

“I got that through the grace of God, prayer, and leaning on the Lord.  But, what if I just prayed, but failed to study my modern algebra? What if I fasted and I didn’t study my complex variables? If I’m born again, but lazy and didn’t study very well, then, I would have reaped what I sowed.
“If you don’t sow anything into your head, and you go for exams, what comes out? If you sow a little and you go for exams, what comes out will be little. But when you sow much, what do you reap? Much,” he added.
