CETM MONDAY MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH
Theme: “You Were Called for This Moment”
Good morning, CETM family.
This Monday is not just the start of another week — it is a checkpoint. A moment where God quietly asks each of you: Are you still willing?
The call of theology is not convenient. It demands thinking when others sleep, praying when others quit, and standing firm when compromise looks easier. Many admire ministry from afar; few endure the discipline that forges it. You chose to endure.
Whether you are seated in a physical classroom or connected online from miles away, hear this clearly: God is not limited by your location, resources, or current struggles. He is shaping your mind, your character, and your discernment right where you are.
Do not underestimate this season. The books you open. The questions that disturb you. The silence where answers don’t come quickly.
All of it is training you to carry truth responsibly.
This week, show up fully. Study with intention. Pray with honesty. Serve with humility.
CETM does not exist to produce spectators of faith, but stewards of truth and leaders of conviction. And that journey begins again today — with discipline, courage, and obedience.
Step into this week with purpose.
You were called for this moment.
With gratitude,
Dr. Simão Domingos Sebastião
College Deputy President,
