The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor
Williams Kumuyi has offered to drop his position as the GS of the church
due to the ongoing controversy trailing his son’s wedding.
The Controversy:
Kumuyi’s second son, John, and his wife Love wedded in Jamaica on
June 15th, 2013 and the wife, Love, decked in attire different from the
acceptable standard set for Deeper Life mambers by the church – a simple
white cotton dress with no accessory, and makeup free.
Love was dressed in a fitted Cinderella wedding gown with a see
through sleeves, wore a makeup, jewelry, and a bouquet of flower, and a
huge throat-dripping cake. The couple also drove home in a limousine!
These generated myriad of controversies on social media, and criticism especially from the members of the church.
Though the couple felt remorseful and tendered an open apology but
was declined by the father. They were later suspended from the church by
the General Superintendent himself.
New Development:
According to Sunday Sun, the practice in the Deeper Life Church is
that, if members’ children misbehave, both the children and their
parents get punished on the ground that it’s the parents failing in
their responsibilities.
It was learnt that during the meeting held by the leadership of the
church concerning the issue, Pastor Kumuyi offered to resign as General
Superintendent just to demonstrate there is no double standard in the
church, but the members refused his request.

I donot see the need for him to resign over this mundane issue. Let's even assume (without conceding) that what the lady wore is a sin against God, now that she and her husband are penitent, who told the deeper life church that she won't make heaven. Is chritianity a function of what we wear? That is why most young men don't like to marry deeper lifans. Baba should worry about better things. Not this one o.
