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.
shocked
So u mean levies are put on the members "according to their capacity"?
-2 Cor 8:12 states that the readiness has to first be present before the giving. If sums are being levied according to capacity, does dis not fault the above scripture?
See also exodus 35:5

I won't argue with you. You WIN!

It is distributed among districts. Then people are required to donate willingly.

What don't you understand inside Sir?

By "distress" I think u meant torn jean. Deeper life is against anything jeans.

And yes I can wear jeans to a board meeting, I have done so severally. I dont wear torn clothes.


Sheep!
The guy you quoted meant torn jeans but you just want to find something to complain about. Wear your "not torn" jeans to the church next Sunday and see if you will be sent out

Well, I'm sure this op wrote this thread was well intended, but not every thing written here is correct. I'm a member since childhood and now in my 30s.

1. On the issue of Television... The principal goal of the church is for its members to make heaven. For every serious minded believer, in times past, the TV was a huge source of tempting pictures. But with the advent of phones and internet, sources are multiplied. There was no point hammering on TV alone. But Pastor Kumuyi's position remains abstain from all appearance of evil.

2. On the issue of age to become a full time pastor, I think you got that wrongly. Right now, its Deeper life Church policy now that to be a full time worker you must not be more than 45 years of age. But this is not strictly followed for full time pastors now as any can be called (as led by the spirit) to be a full time pastor in as much as he has the capacity and passes the interview process. Recently, I know of a lecturer who was made a Region Overseer.

3. On the issue of laying of hands, it is believed that there are no barriers in the spirit realm. It is not compulsory to lay hands before miracles take place especially when the crowd is large.. But if is one on one counseling and prayer session, laying of hands can be done if necessary

Modern dressing varies. If you expect them to dress like Adesuwa and Tonto Dike did, sorry it is not allowed.

Most times, pastors can have a tough stance on dressing, but I guess they are being over strict.

If you can't keep up with the requirements, you can equally marry outside the church and come back after marriage. No one is caged per say.
Adesuwa's wedding dress was beautiful.But even at that, there are long-sleeved wedding dresses which don't expose clravage and aren't tight but are beautiful.I mean a bride should look good on her day.One can't do that day over again.I see their brides dressed like some nuns.Seems even natural looking makeup is prohibited or even hair extensions, but yet I've seen deeper life girls in braided extensions.So they can put extensions on other days but not on their wedding day?

The man in question is an old man oo... above 75 years. I said he is under the financial budget of the church. Which means, they budget feeding, and every other thing for him.

So what will he be asking for? Phone, Shoe cheesy

If he has a ministration anywhere, the 'church' handles everything.

Ma'am, anybody can come to church. But not everyone believes in the gospel of salvation.

I am not trying to discriminate, but we also have theives in deeper life.

So those you call Deeperlife girls with extensions on their hair,

You can also ask Moses in the bible about the Mixed Multitude.

Church haters are not interested in any good done by the church or it's members. Neither are they interested what the church did.
They just love to hate and feed on hate against Church.
Why?
Church makes them feel guilty and they hate having to account.
Because the message of the Cross is foolishness to them that are perishing...

There is not such thing as "correct doctrine". Deeper Life still maintain the doctrine it started with. What is being relaxed is the man made law which was introduced to ensure discipline but some have turned to power show. As for doctrine?? It is still 22 Bible doctrine

So hair extensions, modern wedding dresses & makeup are considered unholy in deeper life?Even suits and ties should be unholy also.It's some kind of discrimination against women.

when I said tgis some time ago somebody was abusing me on Nairaland. How e b now? Kumuyi has apologised for some errors In d past and I think adeboye and oyedepo should also do so. I am not against giving to God's work, but forcing pple to give under the threat of a curse is what I hate. Kudos to kumuyi for his humility.
What error did Kumuyi apologize for??
Re: Deeper Life Bible Church: Facts No One Would Tell You About The Church by JuanDeDios: 6:30pm On Dec 17, 2017
BiafraBushBoy:

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.

This appears risky. What if he does something bad and gets kicked out of the church? How will he survive without any personal savings? Just saying.

Districts are the smallest unit of Churches in Deeper Life.

When a Church Project is needed to be carried out, the money is divided to states (according to state capability). It helps to make everyone contribute, since we don't require external donations.

From the state, it is distributed to Group levels, then to districts. The Pastor will ask people to give willingly what they can afford.

The amount gotten is sent back to the state level, then to the headquarters (if the project is to happen at the Headquarters)

I understand dear. It doesn't mean that doing the above might send you to hell (I can't say, as I am not God).

But since it is a Church tradition, you can either obey or reject. You can marry outside the church and still come back to worship.

No discrimination. Every Church has their own doctrine. Even Apostle Paul said the same.

Since it is not allowed in Deeper life... Y'all be hating the church!


MODERATION AND SELF-DENIALS ARE KEY PILLARS OF WF KUMUYI'S MESSAGES OVER D PAST 40YRS. HE ISSUED/GAVE OUT GUIDELINES/INSTRUCTIONS NOT LAWS PER SAY. DECENCY IN APPEARANCE IS KEY IN GODLY WORSHIP. ANY MORAL MINDED PASTOR OR LEADER CAN NEVER CONDONE D AVERSE AND UNBRIDLED DEPRAVITY,SENSUALITY AND IMMORAL CONDUCTS & OPEN IV OF SOME PERVERTS THAT COME TO CHURCH. YET HOLINESS/CLEANLINESS IS HEART WORK BEFORE IT TRANSCENDS TO OUTWARDNESS...

On the issue of age, I don't think the op is correct. There is this pastor Enoh(?) that is going around deeper churches praying and conducting deliverance service. I think he is a full time pastor and his is less than 40

In some churches, not covering the hair is normal. In some other churches, not covering the hair is bad.

Are you seeing it from my point of view.

The poster I quoted wanted to prove the double standard lives of some Deeper Life Girls, that was why I considered them Mixed Multitude (It is a case of Hypocrisy)
