The halls of the University of Ibadan reverberated with joy and spiritual fervour as Bro. Gbile Akani, the esteemed pastor and leader of Peace House, graced the campus with his presence.It was a time of great excitement and glorious anticipation as students eagerly gathered at the Chapel of Resurrection for a three-day power-packed crusade.The programme, aptly titled “Come and See” (John 1:46), was organised by the Ibadan Varsity Christian Union (IVCU-NIFES), and it lived up to its expectations. The event spanned from Friday, the 22nd to Sunday, the 24th, with a special Christian Leaders session on Saturday and a heartwarming Freshmen Welcome on Sunday for the new students at the university.Bro. Gbile Akanni, a revered minister of the gospel, was the guest of honour, and his words were like streams of living water to the thirsty souls in attendance. Throughout the programme, he delivered powerful messages that touched the core of Christian faith. Many students share their testimony to the heartwarming and soul-stirring charge that he gave.He reminded the audience that it is perilous to heed those who divert their focus away from Jesus, emphasising the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on the Lord.Bro. Akanni further delved into the significance of the phrase “Verily, verily,” often used by Jesus in the Scriptures. He explained that it’s akin to an oath, signifying absolute assurance and a declaration that the speaker possesses the authority and capability to bring the spoken word to fruition.In his wisdom, he also addressed the misconception that seeking God’s help, even for a renowned individual, is a display of humility.Bro. Akanni clarified that seeking divine assistance is not about humility; it is about being rational and acknowledging our need for God’s guidance and intervention in all aspects of life.The “Come and See” crusade with Bro. Gbile Akani left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who attended. It was a time of spiritual renewal, enlightenment, and transformation as the Ibadan Varsity Christian Union continues to fulfil its mission of nurturing and strengthening the faith of young believers on the campus of the University of Ibadan.ALSO READ: Hundreds of University Students Get Baptized
