Pastor William Kumuyi offered to resign as General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church following the controversy that trailed the wedding of his second son, John.
John Kumuyi and his wife, Love had engaged in acts, which negated the church’s tradition during their wedding held in Jamaica on June 15, 2013. Love, who is a daughter of the National Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church, Jamaica, Pastor Augustine Odih, was dressed in a fitted stylish wedding gown with transparent short sleeves. She also wore makeup, jewelry and carried a bouquet of flowers. The couple cruised in a limousine and had a huge wedding cake.
The misdemeanor, which attracted widespread criticisms, had earned the newlyweds suspension from church activities despite showing remorse and tendering an apology to the church, blaming their misconduct on the fact that both of them had resided abroad for so long.
Sunday Sun gathered that the practice in the Deeper Christian Life Ministry is that if members’ children misbehave, both the children and their parents get punished on the grounds that it’s the parents’ failing in their responsibilities that made the children to err. Although the children involved in the Jamaican wedding infraction are adults, the leadership of the church regarded their action as a strong breach of its tradition, and immediately removed the bride’s father, from his position as National Overseer in Jamaica.
To demonstrate that there is no double standard in the church, it was further learnt that Pastor Kumuyi, at the meeting held by the leadership of the church on the matter, offered to resign as General Superintendent, but was prevailed upon not to.
According to the Sunday Sun source, the General Superintendent did not take kindly to the couple’s behaviour and, unlike Eli in the Bible who did not discipline his sons and incurred the wrath of God, Pastor Kumuyi had ensured that the offenders were sanctioned.

ReplyDeleteNonsense!ds pple shld park one side. Who ar thy fooling? If humans were God, no one will make heaven.
ReplyDeleteJoli. Dey invite u come their church abi dey arrest u stay their church? Which one u dey call dem names? Rapture will tell.
DeleteJudging from d scriptures, I only found dm guity in d use of Limousin.d weddn gown,is ok bt d limou goes against d part of d scripture dt says "let your moderation be known to all men" again, there's a blessn in obeyin parents"jeremiah 32"even if what d r askn u to do is nt sin just obey as it wunt cost u nofin! But d church shud b able to draw a line btw religion $ christianity.sm ppl wear all these n their heart $ nt n d physical dn which is better? D bible said " Let every man be pasuaded in dt which he doet" so if d r nt yet persuaded , d dnt hv to pretend!
ReplyDeletePractice what u preached,I think dat's d bone of contention.U can't keep millions of ur church members in bondage(d holier than dat atittude),y u n ur children r hvn fun.4 me d dressing is decent but it is against d doctrines of d church.I used to believe b4 dat make up,trouser n modern outfits etc r sins but I realise it is not.God looks more at our heart than outside appearance.Whateva we do,we shld be truthful 2 ourselves n God.I believe dat I am made righteous by God's righteousness.
ReplyDeleteU know we quote scriptures to sooth us. If when the holyspirit is saying otherwise. Men be watchful so u don't fall. U are made righteous by God's righteousness ie is why u are still leaving in sin confess today and backslid tomorrow. Be honest how firm are u with your walk with God? Be holy for your God is holy. Obedience is better than sacrifice. If u don't like the doctrine. Remain where you are. Rapture or death will justify your righteouness only that we will not be there to know who is wrong or right. Be wise.
DeleteLet all men be lier and only God be true. The children could be sanctioned as deterent to any other person but the parent should not be punished. It has take them years to get to where they are. That should not be destroy in one day.
DeleteMake wht u know,know u practice what u preach dats all.
ReplyDeleteResign 4 what? It means U̶̲̥̅̊ are not God sent. Abeg make una go sit down

ReplyDeleteI love ur comment above, resign 4 what? Definitely he wasn't cal by God, it's only God that can stop him. Do u get it
ReplyDeleteI know that if SISTER BIODUN is alive, she would have seen to that by the grace of GOD. But I would that everybody shut up, because I know the true man of GOD will not for any reason compromise the ANCIENT LANDMARK. We are not of them who are given to change.
ReplyDeleteWHO ARE WE TO JUDGE?, WHO ARE WE TO KNOW THE ACTS THAT LEAD US TO SIN?, HOW MANY OF THIS PEOPLE ABIDING IN THIS DOCTARY MAKES HEAVEN? PLEASE LET THIS MATTER REST AND THINK OF HOW TO SERVE GOD BETTER THAN WASTEING HUGE TIME FOR NOTHING.
ReplyDeleteFaith without works is dead. "In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity" (Titus 2:7)
ReplyDeletewe must try to avoid carrying yokes that are too burdensome...
ReplyDeletewell I for do tell people that the true born again will be seen on the last day and not now. It is only the lord almighty that sees the heart of men and knows those who are serving him in spirit and in truth
ReplyDeletesomething is typically wrong here and could be similar to hypocracy. The couple who wedded and did what they did actually knew what they were doing. The latter apology that they have been outside niegeria for two decades is even a worst excuse ever. This is not about nigeria or youruba cultural practise. I am but suprise that Kumuyi took photography with the couples which indicates that he was present at the wedding. Being the father of the bridegroom, he would have been there some days earlier, so what happen. Could he not rule his own house and did his son disobeyed him or he was a party to the wedding arrangement. The same with the brides' father. So what happen during the whole preparation... were they not aware?... Or they only reacted the way they did because of public opinion. Remember God cannot be mocked--- hypocritism is even worst. Think of the sin of peter in the epistles
ReplyDeleteremember the case Achan in Joshua chapter 7
ReplyDeleteWomen can make u or destroy u. The son messed up by allowing his wife to make an headline out of nothing. U know d rules and u still allowed ur wife to embarrass u. People shud accept dt there is somthin wrong wit d dressing bcos dt's not what is expected of them. They are supposed to be good examples. Remember d story of Eli in d Bible. Anyway, am glad they realised their mistake. No one is peerfect. We are not God, so we can't judge them.
Deletehmmm...sinners and saints,de knowledgeable and de ignorant,de foolish and de wise are all commenting on dis page.which one r u? i beg make u concentrate on ur own heaven and leave de MoG alone!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlaming the both parent is not the issue here, the issue here and whom to blaming is the marriage committee of that country, they should have send the bride and the groom back home to dress properly before they joined them together in HOLY WED LOCK. Let stop blaming my uncompromising Pastor W.F. Kumuyi and the girl's Father., I said this because the day I get marriage, we were 3 couples, one of us disobey the church rules and regulation, and the Marriage committee there did not join that 1 couple bcos of their disobedient until they misbehavior was amended before the committee join in the wed locked. stop blaming the parents, but blaming the marriage committee there, bcos they caused what happy.
