The General Superintendent, Deeper Christian Life Ministry and Convener, Global Crusade with Kumuyi, Pastor William Kumuyi, has urged the youth to embrace discipline with Christ in every facet of their lives in order to attain the peak of their aspiration.
Kumuyi made this urge on Saturday in his message titled ‘Believing Beyond Limitations of Natural Youth’ with three parts of the message; The Boundaries of Limitations Beyond for the Natural Youth; The Breaking of Limitations for the Newborn Youth; and the Breakthrough Beyond Limitations as Noble Youth, during the Impact Academy Programme on the sidelines of the GCK, with the theme ‘Beyond Limitations’.
The Global Crusade with Kumuyi, GCK enters day three in Oke Owode, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, with thousands of young people from the secondary school, tertiary institutions, and young professionals including those who joined the event across the globe through the various social media platforms.
The cleric inspired the youth to have a strong determination and believe in themselves, while making reference to book of Mark 9:23, which says “….if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth…” including their aspirations and where they target to be in the future.
He explained further that youth should believe in their goal, growth, and greatness, noting that young people need to reposition their lives and concepts to move forward.
The televangelist cited that most youth are limited by the Corruption of life; Contamination of the lawless; Coldness of the lukewarm; Constitution of laziness; Companionship with loafers; Counterfeit of love; and Covenant with lords (cult leaders) of losers, hence they need to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ to break their limitations.
Kumuyi pointed out the need to pray, plan, prepare, pursue and pay the price for the prize in order to achieve great success and attain the peak of their desire.
The Impact Academy Programme featured seminars, questions and answers, spoken words, drama, and praise and worship sessions, which gave the youth opportunity to express their talents as well.
Pastor Kumuyi said, “After you spent a fortune and you shift your attention away, that is not diligence but you have something, a decision, desire and determination that you are going through and whatever happens you are going through.
“A new dedication to duty; we don’t always love, enjoy duty, and the enjoyment will be at the end of the achievement. But whether we enjoy or not the original excitement when we got to that situation you don’t allow that excitement to die because you have a new dedication to duty.
“A new dynamite on inside you to blow away any barrier of my shape, size or height. A new discipline; in the past when you sit down for 15 minutes and you are doing something, if the thing is not finished in 15 minutes, there is something inside you that says get up, go and play football, telephone a friend, check up your email, and those distractions you bring them into your life by yourself but when you have the discipline and you say this hour this is what I am going to do.
“There is no policeman that is trailing or compelling me, I have the ‘policeman’ inside me, and this period of time I am here and this thing will be done.
“When we got to the secondary school the outward discipline is less but the inward discipline is being developed, and when we get to the university we are left to our own discipline or indiscipline, and when we come into this new life in Christ new discipline in us.
“Are you disciplined with your telephone (handset) or you are indiscipline? When you wake up the first thing you do is to pickup your phone by your bedside to start checking your email, missed calls and others. There is no discipline there. You check your phone for the first 30 minutes without having your devotion (prayers and study of God’s word). Let there be a new discipline in every area of our lives.”
The Global Crusade with the theme ‘Great Possibilities through the Power of Christ’ kicked off on Thursday July 27 and will end on Tuesday August 1, 2023. May people have surrendered to Christ and many more received their healing and deliverance through supernatural intervention.
