An Associate Professor of Educational Innovations at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and Deputy Director of the Youth Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Elder Professor Eric Appau Asante, has hinted that pursuing one’s calling necessitates a commitment to excellence, which should be evident throughout their educational journey.
Delivering a sermon titled, ‘Excelling in Your Academic, Professional, and Career Life,’ on Saturday, January 4, 2025, during the ongoing PENSA Ghana Conference 2025 at the University for Development Studies in Tamale, he revealed that a godly life must radiate excellence, adding, ‘Achieving academic success requires diligence, divine grace, and hard work.’
He advised students to avoid studying in bed, noting that it can lead to relaxation and sleepiness, thereby hindering academic performance.
Prof. Asante also cautioned against last-minute studying and underscored the importance of regular class attendance, effective time management, and choosing friends who are dedicated both to their faith and studies.
The Deputy Youth Director encouraged students to utilise libraries, participate in conferences and seminars, and take on leadership roles to enhance their academic excellence.
‘Serving God is not magic; it is practical,’ he remarked, urging intentional efforts in all endeavours.
