I saw a thread hit frontpage https://www.nairaland.com/4062678/deeper-life-bible-church-cult#60584621 and I decided to write this.

I have known Deeper Life Bible Church, and it is over twenty years. Tho I don’t often attend church services that much due to hustle on Sunday, but I have some Facts to make known to make.

Do you want to hear things that people won’t tell you about deeper life bible church? Sit tight and listen.

Pastor W.F. Kumuyi has corrected some of his mistakes in the past as regards doctrine

In a bid to maintain strict discipline during the early days of the church, a lot of strict doctrines were introduced. These doctrines didn’t come with consequences like people portrayed, but were just preventive measures to some common sins.
The television was banned, not because it was bad, but because it would give room for the devil to corrupt the mind.

“If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you.” Matthew 5: 30.

Right now the Television is now used to transmit the pastor’s message all over the world. He realized that God gave humans the spirit of “FREE WILL” and he urged members to make use of it the right way.

Pastor Kumuyi doesn’t have a personal Bank Account

It might interest you to know that the General Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church does not have his own personal bank account. He is under the church budget, and likewise other full-time pastors. He feeding, dressing, logistics is budgeted monthly by the church. He has no personal property, investments, and all he has is owned by the church.

One of the Criteria to become a full-time pastor is age
If you haven’t reached the age to retire from active government service, you can never become a full-time pastor in Deeper Life Bible church. Full-time pastors serve as State Coordinators, Regional Overseers, and of cause the General Overseer. Other positions are occupied by pastors who are still working and are not under the church financial budget.


Several Church Laws have been abolished by the General Overseer
In his recent messages, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi has preached against the enforcement of church laws that have no root in the Bible. Popular examples remain the Turban being worn in the church, the financial capabilities of a man before he gets married, and many other relating to technological advancements.
In many of his recent messages, he has preached against church leaders enforcing laws on members that would force them to drop their faith. His main focus was on the marriage committee of the church.

Holiness and Salvation is preached every Sunday
If you aren’t comfortable with someone preaching to you about Holiness, Salvation, Repentance, Restitution every Sunday, then don’t bother coming to church. That is the foundation of the church doctrine, and it will never change.

Deeper Life doesn’t sing and dance on Sundays because…
If you have been wondering why the church service on Sundays doesn’t come with dancing and singing, the answer is simple.
“It will weaken the body; make people fall asleep and tired when the real message about going to heaven is about being preached. We have a day to praise God for singing and praises, and that is during the Thursday revival service” Pastor W.F. Kumuyi explaining to BBC World.

Financial Prosperity is never the Topic of any Message
No pastor would come up the pulpit to preach about financial prosperity as a Sunday Message. The church focuses on “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and every other thing shall be added unto you”

Tithes and offering are collected and sent to the headquarters
Once it gets to the Church headquarters, it is redistributed to various states for the maintenance of churches in the state. If any Church project needs to be carried out, the amount is split according to the capability of members of the churches inside the same country.
No matter how long it takes to get the donations, the church will never seek donations from outside the church. That was the reason it took the church 5 years to complete the headquarters at Gbagada.

Finally, Laying of hands is not allowed in the Church

Pastors pray from their pulpit and miracle happens. "It doesn't matter if you are close or not to a sick person. God is still in the habit of answering the prayers of the righteous" Pastor W.F. Kumuyi.

Ask me any question and I will give you unbiased answers.

My question, do you live in the same house with kumuyi?

correcting doctrines at the late stage, what of people that was mislead like my father.
He mislead them with his doctrine and made most of them lose their esteem and dignity juts because they where trying to adhere to a doctrine.
There will always be a doctrine now or verse to justify all that was done then.
This is medicine after death.
Sincerely he is one man of God I have respected .

Like he once said:
"Before I leave, before I leave, I mean before I go,
I am going to remove EVERYTHING I SET UP,
that I thought will help Deeper Life
and make us holy, make us santified, makes us deep, make us deeper,
and I see it's not making us deeper and shallow
before I leave, I'll UPROOT ALL OF THEM
and present to you a pure church before I leave ... "
I hope he gets to correct the doctrine of mandatory, obligatory ecclesiastical tithing, as soon as he possibly can or at a later stage.

Does this mean his doctrine wasn't founded on the word of God, if he had to correct them?

Going by his television and sin relationship, if you critically examine everything in life, he may as well ban them all.

These laws were first enacted by him and now that he has realised his errors, his followers deserve an apology. This further buttresses the fact that some of his doctrines are not founded in the bible.

Nobody was misled. Not living without a T.V in a house isn't the end of life.

Not doing some other excessive things isn't the end of life.

So how were we misled?

As much as they had God's laws, we also have doctrines like the early apostles did.

When Anaias were killed because they his part of their possession, was it a direct message from God.

And more also, nobody was forced to adhere. People who couldn't keep up left.

Tunde Bakare
Lazarus Mouka

And many others were members of deeper life bible church


We not facing on Sundays, does it make any man righteous?

It is a church law that helps shapes a church


But the main message is "Repent and believe the gospel"

FortifiedCity:
My question, do you live in the same house with kumuyi?

Next question.

Lalasticlala

I agree with you

Don't mind my auto correct.

They both died. You can read the bible for more explanation.

Tell me the points raised by the other poster that were true?

I read all through. Sounded like someone with vendetta

So how were we misled?

If no one was misled why is he changing the doctrines now?
For me that shows his doctrines was man made.
My brother call a spade a spade he misled people with his doctrines.
I dont tell you what I dont know but what I know .
A lot of vibrant young men lost their visions because of wrong doctrines.
if he never misled them why is he changing the doctrines now?
Learn not to take all what someone tells you hook line and sinker without thinking it through.

Everything a pastor tell members must be confirmed by the bible if it has no biblical basis.....you have every right to reject it........no pastor is perfect all church doctrines must be based on the bible.....when pastor see that people are crosschecking church doctrines and rules from bible the pastor will be careful in setting up doctrines..........pastor must be made to know everything they preach will be crosschecked from bible before members follow

nice article

i like pastor Kumuyi....my everyday crush

i wish he can take me as his second wife

"In his recent messages, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi has preached against the enforcement of church laws that have no root in the Bible. "

Deeper life on the spotlight

I don't even know what to say.

for your info gbagada church was built for over 15 years and also you are invited for December retreat at any deeper life Church close to you

Good

Can i ask what is the opinion on wearing of jeans and keeping moustache in this ministry

Why do members prefer awkward archaic oversized dresses to nice, beautiful and fitting ones?

They seem not to care about their looks at all.
