I thought as a deeper lifer, you are to stick to keeping the Sabbath day holy.

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.

We both know this is a joke

I remember my days in deeper life! wow bared from wearing jeans and some type of foot wears.i remember seeing a brother then throwing his TV set into a pit latrine,church will force sisters on brothers for marriage, the churches in the cities keep marginalising the local ones in the villages. imagine we contributing to build head quarter that we are not allowed to come to for anything.not even any place for retreat, you have to provide where to camp for retreat,during retreats when we were allowed to come for camp at the headquarters, our local churches will be instructed to contribute food stuffs and money for the camping with the promise that food will be provided by what the various branches has contributed, but when you get to camp, church will use these items and set up canteen where you buy food instead of the free food. I have decided to worship my God from home.churches tire me.

It took 5 years for the HQ to be completed because Lagos state govt refused them opening till they have sufficient parking space. They had to buy up people's homes at sometimes exorbitant amounts and then demolish them for that to happen.

It wasn't for lack of money. DLCM is one of the richest churches in Nigeria. They just are not ostentatious.

MuttleyLaff:
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.

oruma19:
he apologised about TV set, he apologized for excommunicating former pastors for objecting to some of his beliefs, he even said the person that will take over from him us free to change some of the doctrines or beliefs that are strictly on morals and not completely bible based. Kumuyi is humble

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

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.

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.

You decided to call it Laws, and thank God you agreed its man made.

profolaolu:

profolaolu:
By the grace of God I am a District Youth leader/Rep in Deeper Life
and has stop for paying tithe for about 2½ years no one queries me nor stop me from preaching on Thursday,
stop been miserable and follow the just cause

eph12:

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

BiafranBushBoy:


lol... I am thinking of how to even explain to you.

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

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

Ermacc:

Lomprico2:


Ok, so u mean he dose not buy any thing on his own, when ever he needs something, someone gets d money from the church account n go get it for him! Right?

BiafranBushBoy:


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?
