Matthew 6:33 (KJV)"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
From his very first year on campus, Professor Linus Okoro, now the International Campus Pastor and Coordinator of the Lord’s Chosen Campus Fellowship, prioritized evangelism. He preached in classrooms, hostels (residences), and on the streets, even when peers were skeptical. While others focused on academic pressure and campus popularity, he focused on Matthew 6:33, believing that if he sought God first, success would follow.
And God did not fail him.
He excelled in his academics and created a questions-and-answers handout covering Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for 100-level (first-year) students. He produced and sold this educational booklet across campus during his final year, and God used it to bless him financially.
He continued evangelizing throughout his master's and PhD programs and completed his research in record time.
When economic conditions became difficult in Germany, God opened unexpected doors back in his home country, Nigeria. He was offered an extraordinary job with a tax-free salary of $42,000 USD, which was later increased to $70,000. The job also included free transportation and fully covered accommodation.
Today, his life stands as living proof that putting God first is not a disadvantage. It is the path to spiritual growth, academic excellence, and financial breakthrough.
