You Must Be Courageous And Confident – Kumuyi To Nigerian Leaders

The General Overseer of the Deeper Life Christian Ministry, William Kumuyi has advised Nigerian leaders to be committed to building a better Nigeria.

The clergyman gave the advice on Tuesday night at the grand finale of a six-day conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

He insisted that politicians must be symbols of good leadership.

Speaking on the topic, ‘Instructive pictures of change in leadership’, Kumuyi asserted that the portrait of a leader is like that of a shepherd in the bible.

According to him, “The picture of a shepherd is the leader, the shepherd who has sheep, his sheep could be the people he is leading and goes all out for the rest of the people as seen in Jeremiah 23:4.

“The shepherd needs to have the life of Christ in him. A shepherd can be a local shepherd or an international shepherd. The shepherd feeds the people and makes sure that the people they lead fear no more.

“This means that the shepherd will not be a timid person. He must have courage and confidence as seen in Jeremiah 3:15.”

The clergyman further stated that the leader must feed the people with knowledge, adding that they should be the preservative of the symbolic salt.

According to him, a leader is not useful to the people when he locks himself up from the people, he loses his salty taste.
