Presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, David Oyedepo has urged young people to start small and not put themselves under pressure.
Oyedepo stated this at the maiden convocation of Dominion University, Ibadan, stressing that young people should not despise little beginnings but should keep adding value where necessary.
The clergymen, who prayed for the graduating students, charged them to stay connected to God, and not be influenced by the vices in the society.
He said: “You must have something you are adding as value, this is an investment into the future. There is no investment in adding value that is wasted. Start small, start from somewhere. Every giant is born as a baby. Don’t put yourself under pressure.”
