A Word to the Students: Other Titles, #4

By Zacharias Tanee Fomum

In this book: A Word to the Students, Professor Fomum, based on his personal testimony, makes it clear that the student life is not incompatible with a rich spiritual life. Rather, academic excellence depends on the priority the student gives to God during his student years.

This book overturns many misconceptions supported by Christians to justify their mediocrity at the University. Indeed, the student years are the most determinant because it is the time a person ought to walk with God with all his strength and invest his all in his studies.

The author argues that the best certificates are for believers, and gives the secret in this book. Indeed, if God has destined you for university studies, you have to honour Him by putting in your best efforts to achieve the results that God expects of you.

Among the obstacles to a successful academic life, the author cites, among others,
1.    The lack of a sense of destiny,
2.    Emotional entanglement
3.    Etc.

Read this book, and may you be blessed.

The Christian Approach to University Life

A word to the students of the university of Harare (Zimbabwe)

Iwas born in a Christian home. My father and mother were radical disciplinarians. My father was a supervisor of over eighty Presbyterian congregations scattered around the district. There was an unchanging law: Leave everything where you found it. When I was about twelve years old, I had to fell a tree for firewood. I was mad enough to go and take my father’s cutlass. After felling the tree, I forgot the cutlass there. The following day, my father started asking for the whereabouts of his cutlass. Then I remembered and owned up. I had six strokes on my buttocks. The other time I was ever beaten was when my elder sister said something to me and I said, Shut up! And my father heard me say this. He called Tanee in a peculiar way. I knew there was trouble just from the way he pronounced my name. That day, I had six strokes again. My father and mother were lovers. It provoked a song in the tribe. My father was a workaholic. He worked extremely hard. He was the pastor, treasurer, secretary, etc.., of the Church. He went from village to village. Every village he went to, he stayed there for some time.

I remember having received a tract from him on 13 th June 1956 entitled: Someone Died For You. I took it outside, stood under a tree and read it. Under that plum tree, I invited Jesus into my life. I was filled with joy, feeling as if Jesus was coming. I ran to the next village to talk to Reuben Mba. When I told him, Someone died for you, I ran back home. A profound hunger for the Word came upon me. I read my Bible twice from Genesis to Revelation before leaving the Primary School. Life is holy routine. Stop breathing and you will see.

In the Secondary School, we were involved in evangelism. At some stage, it must have been in Form Three or Form Four, fellow students who saw my commitment went and borrowed a book from the school library entitled The Monk Who Shook the World, and placed it on my bed. If I returned it, they would go, borrow it and place it right back on my bed! They began to call me Monk Fomum. Things went on so well like this for some time. Then the world began to creep into my heart. I began to ask myself, How can we liberate Africa from colonialism and neo-colonialism? I lived a life pregnant with the love of the world. Then at twenty, I went to Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone. On the fourth day after getting to school, while I was alone in my room, the Lord revealed Himself to me. That was on 1 st October 1966. It was a step of no return. I abandoned the Africa Liberation cause. That year, I read fifty Christian books. I received communion every morning except on Saturday. Since the Christian Union provided the only centre of life on campus, I went there. Leadership is not what you expect, but what you inspect. To give duties to people and not inspect, but expect that they be executed is deception.

There was a prize for outstanding performance in the Science Faculty. When I heard about it, I said I would take it. I cut myself off from every other thing. I was always either with a Bible or with a Chemistry book. There were eight holidays from the first to the final year. I spent all of them on campus, including even the three and a half months
