Dr. Ekrah Ndung'u
As the curtain falls on 2024, the Kenya National Association of Private Colleges Chairperson Dr. Ekrah Ndung’u shares a heartfelt sermon—a tradition inspired by her late mother, who often delivered uplifting messages to her family. Reflecting on the year that was and the year to come, she draws inspiration from the verse:
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. – Isaiah 54:10
For Dr. Ndung’u, this verse is a reminder of God’s unwavering love and faithfulness, even amidst life’s uncertainties. As she looks ahead to 2025, she holds onto the assurance that God will neither leave nor forsake His people. She encourages openness with God, whether through words or the silent groanings of the heart, knowing He listens and understands.
Dr. Ndung’u sees 2025 as a year of great promise: a year of restoration, elevation, and a season of divine grace akin to the stories of Joseph and Esther. She acknowledges that while challenges may persist, God’s preservation is steadfast.
Her message is also a call to gratitude and humility. For those who thrived in 2024, she reminds them that their successes are not solely due to strategy or hard work but are rooted in grace and favor. “Celebrate your wins humbly,” she urges, “and remember that everyone’s season comes in its own time.”
Addressing those who faced challenges, Dr. Ndung’u encourages them to view their difficulties as preparation for greater strength and purpose in 2025. She reflects on the pandemic’s hardships, reminding us that survival is a sign of being chosen as a remnant for this generation.
As we turn the page to a new year, Dr. Ndung’u inspires us to embrace the blank slate of 365 days with prayer, hope, and a plan. “Allow God to write your story,” she advises, “and resist the urge to snatch the pen.”
Dr. Ndung’u closes her message with a heartfelt prayer:
May God bless our nation. May God bless Africa. May God grant peace to the world.
Her words are a powerful reminder to keep hope alive, embrace the grace of each season, and encourage others along the journey.
