A lot of members of the popular Deeper Life
church are still stunned over a recent message
from it's General Overseer Pastor William
Folorunsho Kumuyi.
Pastor Kumuyi while preaching during Sunday's
Worship Service spoke extensively about 'The
Word in A Transformed Believer' where he openly
chastised some sections of the church.
The 73-year-old preacher disclosed that some
church leaders have bastardized the church's
doctrines.
He reportedly stated that most of the church
doctrines were man made, and he created them,
not that they were from the scriptures – the
reason of which is to set people on the right path
are now being transformed into the things of this
world.
Seemingly angered by the situation, he said that
most traditions that were borrowed into the
church are going to be demolished. He went on to
go against the tradition usually observed by the
Church's marriage committee, which is peculiar
to Deeper Life.
He asked the congregation of the church "Are we
not conforming with the world. Why are you
dressing like of the world?"
He then called on the men to be in charge in their
own home. In his own words, "Women ministry is
our own making, and if we find out that the
women ministry is taking us into the world and
we are helping each other on how to live like the
world and marry like the world and deal with your
husband like the world – if it is not helping us
and if it is going to hinder us, we strike if off."
"Before I leave, I mean before I go, I am going to
remove everything that I set up, that I thought
will help Deeper Life and make us Holy, make us
sanctified, make us deep, make us deeper. And I
see it is not making us deeper, before I leave, I
will uproot all of them and present to you a pure
church before I leave.
"What am I afraid of? I can only be afraid of the
judgement of God, therefore whoever responds,
praise the lord, whoever reacts praise the lord.
We are going to stand on the word of God.
"By the grace of God I am not going yet, but,
before I go and I am telling you and all our
leaders can hear. I am not going to hand over
Deeper Life to somebody who will come and
destroy everything we've built up for years,
because he's man pleaser, women pleaser, never!
Somebody who will stand on this word and
earnestly defend the faith once delivered unto the
saints, that's what we are going to do. And the
whole church will unite. We are not looking for
graduates, degrees- whoever! Peter did not have
a degree.
"Whoever, will maintain that sanctification,
Holiness without which no man shall see the
Lord, Whoever will have backbone and be willing
to stand faithful, sacrifice everything and bring to
church to obedience to the word of God, that's
the kind of leader, God will raise up for Deeper
Life after I am gone."
While the sermon lasted, a lot of members
especially women weeped like children.
