ObaFemy: Not a member but I'm in total support if it is true. It's wise not to allow anyone (especially younger pastors) to come and use visions/prophecy to derail the heaven-minded church. Thumbs up to Pst Kumuyi for the great work of the Lord he's been doing faithfully all through the years. 6 Likes |

May God have mercy on you. I'm a very happy member of deeper life and I have a very sound mind. Deeper life shows you the acceptable way to serve God and leaves the choice with you. We only respect and love pastor Kumuyi as a servant of God. The devil is using you to blackmail the church but it can't work. If deeper life is of God, no man can destroy or blackmail it. I have been in deeper life for about 20 years. All you are saying is false . Repent now for your good in eternity. 3 Likes |

Most of the things in this write up are actually true, have seen them & i once have a deeper life guy as a room mate, this guy is so dirty, arrogant & have pride, only him is holy & wise. But i still thinks there are still good onces among them who actually follow the doctrine of Jesus Christ as they were been taught, but still they aren't cult, just believers in another rigid dimension, acting as if heaven is meant for them alone. 2 Likes |

I was born, breed and brought up in deeperlife, I've since then attended Winners and Redeem, I don't criticise church or worshippers, the problem with deeper life is not founder but the district pastors who is in the business to outshine Pastor Kumuyi hence they set their own standard. 2 Likes |

frosbel2: I am a member, I was born a deeper life I have left my parents for the past 18 years when I left secondary school. I left Nigeria 3 years a go and I am still proud to be a member of deeper life. Though the church is not perfect but unless we want to start deceiving ourselves the church still remains one of the churches in Nigeria where you can hear sound word of God. About what you said about tithe it's a fallacy. Nobody knows when you pay tithe in deeper life, even the district pastors don't know who pays and who don't pay because we don't put our names when we give and I have never experienced or heard that someone was threatened with hell fire for not paying tithe. In fact I was a worker before I left Nigeria and I stopped paying tithe at some point and started giving my money to help members in the church even when I got to the UK until like three months ago when a message on tithe was preached not that I agree with tithing but because the preacher said we pay rent from it and we do have refreshment after the service every Sunday and if I do eat from the refreshment what stopped me from contributing towards it. For the ladies in the church I think you are not right with this as well. I will agree that some of the youths go wayward because they are only attending deeper life because there parents but they don't have personal conviction on their own so when many of them get to higher institution they see it a freedom to live their life the way it pleases them. But hey.. for those that have personal conviction, that are not attending because of their parents you can't see these set of people being derailed from what they have heard. Though some of still have their adamic nature which might not necessarily be sleeping with men around as you claimed. One of the things I am not happy with as a member is why we own school our members can't attend and why they allowed members to contribute towards the school they won't be able to attend. I see that as a fraud and I am still waiting for the day I would be opportune to ask the G S directly as to what motivated him to join this league as the group pastors too don't have the answer to it. Also I can agree that some district pastors could be some how sometimes as most of them usually like to play safe especially when they don't know the stand of the G S about a particular issue irrespective of the impact of the outcome on their members. But sometimes when I look at their commitment I mean the pastors despite not being paid salary not even an allowance I can't but to respect them. Though they have their flaws as I said earlier. Please stop painting deeper life bad.. it's a good church and I know you know that as well. Thanks and God bless you. 8 Likes |

Re: Is The Deeper Life Bible Church A Cult ? by timseye: 2:17pm On Dec 16, 2017 |
I think OP fall into the category of children born in deeper life that attends deeper because of their parents. Deeper life is not cult... And for those that believe that God can't bless you if you don't pay tithe please don't being gullible given to the poor has more rewards than paying tithe. I have tried the two and I can tell you for a fact. The problem is that so many of us find it difficult to change and we believe that the little success we have is a product of our tithe or the various seed that we sow. Why can't you try and give to people I mean give to people that you are not expecting anything back from them and see how God will bless you. 1 Like |

Does that matter! He asked a question and it's good for him and every other readers for us as deeper life members to address his question with love. Who says an anti Christ can't be converted. Apostle Paul was once an anti Christ and was saved by grace. If he attended deeper life for 20 years and he was never initiated, not seen any of his leaders with any fetish stuff and he's here asking this type of question I think he needs sincere and honest answers couple with prayers. 1 Like |

frosbel2: I like to say I'm God-Concious. And to me religion is how you worship God. I would like to think Mr. OP is a Christian. I am as familiar with deeper life bible church doctrine because, my parents got married there, I was born there, and I'm still a.member of the church. - Members of DLBC aren't beholden to the G.S. he is respected. I'm sure if you read your bible you will see how Paul the Apostle was respected and almost revered by the gentiles for bringing the word of God to them, Bill gate is practically worshipped for his invention of a user friendly operating system in the computer world, Zucherberg is praised whenever social media is called. Mandela is hailed in terms of freedom for south Africans. Pastor Kumuyi is known for his standard in holiness teachings and Christians that admire that always worship God for his grace and wondrous work through him in our generation. - I know many people think pastor kumuyi comes on the pulpit and says, 'Behold, I say into thee, thou shalt not smile at thine neighbour, else thou shalt die' and so many other perceived dogmas, but for all my life and the bible studies I've been attending since 1997, I've never heard him give any new commandment, revelation, instruction, or message not backed up by the scriptures. He doesn't teach theology or history. He preaches the scripture. And it is by the conviction of the spirit. Nothing he says can do anything it is the spirit of God that works in the life of individuals that convicts anx convinces us of what is right. - I agree with you to some extent on the third point. Members of DLBC to a large extent have this holier than thou, touch not pharisees and Sadducees lifestyle. They believe and think they are the holiest and anyone outside is a sinner. They concentrate more on what you wear, how you talk and what church you attend rather than the spirit that dwells in you. I know that is wrong. I have had very lengthy conversations with leaders that have the character. I can say assuredly, that the pastor kumuyi you are having an issues accepts invitation from diverse ministries as long as he is allowed to preach the holiness message. Deeper life members have heard lots of testimonies from his visit to White garment churches, they've attended crusades where he ministered to the whole body of pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria, Abuja Chapter. And even Christian Association of Nigeria. I think that is unacceptable if it is a cult. - You didn't expansiate your 4th point well.for me. But deeper life cares more about bringing family together than tearing them apart. - Your fifth point is backed by the scripture. 'The man is bound to his first wife as long as she's living' I know that part of the bible is difficult. That is the work of the holy spirit. The fact is, if the Holy spirit has not convinced you of that, please stay with your second wife. The deeper your walk with God, the clearer you'll hear from him. And the church always makes provision for the second wife and her children is your responsibility. Your first wife should treat them as hers. Unless, their mother says no. The God that called you is the same God that called Abraham. He didn't allow Hagar and Ishmael die of thirst. - I don't know the district you attended. But I can give you an instance of myself. I left my house in abuja to Yola about three weeks ago (when the issue of the Fulani Herdsmen started). So I can house and take care of some of the displaced person. None of the four people in my house right now are deeper life members. Lice is a gift of the spirit so if those people don't have the love the Samaritan shew, then they don't have Christ. (1John). Why they tend to show love among members more is because the bible stated in various scriptures, Especially those of the brotherhood of faith. And as I mentioned earlier, deeper life members are very segregatory about who and who belongs to this brotherhood of faith. - That is outright lie. DLBC actually discourages any tithe that you feel forced to bring. Any offering that you feel is a duty. Giving is with rejoicing and gratefulness that Almighty God called you and dims your little silver and gold useful in his house. DLBC(and the bible) condemns any giving that is not from a regenerated heart. It is an abomination to God. He desires obedience and not your sacrifices. And when you're converted, God will use his spirit tontell you what to and what not to give. Before that, please keep your money. It is an abomination to God. - Christianity is my Identity and not my church. The disciples of Christ were not looking for any other identity. They were called Galileans. And followers of That man of Nazareth. I'm never ashamed to be called a christian. Deeper life is just a denomination where I'm groomed. You think that makes me a zombie? - Baby, if you're going to talk about the issue o drinking and alcoholism.. Then this is my prayer for you. That the God you serve will tell you his will concerning that. And if he tells you to drink, please buy out any Vodka producing company tomorrow and drink yourself to stupor. Remember, you're not answerable to any man. If your master asks you to drink, who am I to tell you not to? Personally, I am convinced that drinking is against God's will. - I am happy, I am happy, I am happy.. The son of God is my friend... And darling, you can never even understand the meaning of happiness before even feeling the emotion outside God. He brings peace. - The focus of Christ ministry was salvation from sin. Until you are saved, you can never win others. Why will he waste so much time on healing, and giving and prosperity and forget the weightier matters of the law. "The soul that sinneth..." "Except a man be born again.... " " I came not for the righteous but to bring sinners to repentance... " It all draws to one. "..... JESUS.. For he shall save his people from their sins" - I don't know the dlbc sisters you've been meeting. But I am a deeper life sister. I was taught to look good. I was taught to "...when thou fastest... Anoint thy head and wash thy face" I was taught I'm addressed how I am dressed. I try to dress like successful people. You can never see a responsible and influential man with crazed Mohawks, ratty jeans and high tops. You can never see a respectable woman on crop top.and bum shorts addressing people. I don't wear pleated skirt. The perceived dlbc uniform. I look good and like the future I want for myself. If that makes me a future suicide bomber, well... - Every christian beliefs in rapture, trinity and hell. Please read the bible and pray that the spirit if God convinces you. ... We which are alive (physically), and remain (in Christ) shall be caught up together with them (the ressurected from the dead) to meet the lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the lord. Amen. I am still praying though. If I am convinced any of this is just indoctrinated dogma from Pastor Kumuyi. I promise on the bible to come and apologize publicly for decieving you. Please christians, be led by the spirit not a man of God, or a professor of Theology or a social media expert. ***Kisses 4 Likes 1 Share |

attended deeper for 23 years, I left this year because I want a more dynamic church that didn't just center their preaching on hell and heaven but also on having a prosperous life here on Earth. That being said, OP I think you're an attention seeker and a blasphemer. Some of your points are correct but nothing bad about them, you're just carnally minded Most points are lies, big lies so you can get attention here. Some of your points are true and the church needs improvement on them, that doesn't make it a cult, just a church with some imperfections as do other churches... 1 Like |
