The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Kumuyi, has appealed to Nigerians to make sacrifices for one another as change agents rather than being self-centred.
Kumuyi made this appeal on Saturday night in Port Harcourt during a Global Men’s Conference organised by Change Makers International.
Kumuyi, who is the Convener of CMI, spoke on “Refreshing and Refining Change Makers”.
He said that when a man experiences refreshing, he gains a new perspective and sees things in a fresh light.
According to him, when a man allows God to mould his life, he emerges refined (Isaiah 28:12).
“There was a time when people believed the world was flat, but now we know it’s spherical.
“There was also a time when the brain’s functions were a mystery, but now we understand them, and these changes have made a difference.
“If there is no time for reflection and refreshing, there will be no change.
“If we continue the same way since the civil war, without reflecting on change, where will we be as a country by 2030?
“We need to rethink and refresh to bring about rest, peace, and unity in our families and country, and to come up with solutions that will refine and improve our nation (Malachi 3:3).
Kumuyi further said that for the country to change for the better, change-makers should recover the core of their inner being (Proverbs 4:23).
“Everyone must account for how they lived their life on earth.
“That person has lost the good heart created by God (1 Samuel 10:9).
He said that when we have good relationships with those close to us, our hearts are restored and healthy.
Kumuyi also advised Nigerians to enjoy the variety God has provided in fruits, vegetables, roots, and meat, and to drink plenty of good water.
