Kumuyi: The reformer faces unusual push back
Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, popularly known as Deeper Life Bible Church, is unusually in the heat of controversy.
The respected cleric is currently facing stiff opposition from some members of his church following his decision to tinker with some of its doctrines. For example, he has shifted from his earlier objection to the use of some musical instruments in the church.
Popular foreign gospel singer, Bob Fitts, was invited to join him at his next global crusade scheduled to hold this weekend in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The pastor had commenced a series of global crusades with many people saying his intention is to bring some changes he desire in his ministry to bear on the Deeper Life church and its members.
Amidst surprise and even open resentment by some of his followers, Kumuyi has been using the global crusades to unveil a number of changes into his ministrations, notably the introduction of music and musicians.
In furtherance of his new position, the Deeper Life founder had invited some music ministers, hitherto prohibited by the church to minister along with him to the amazement of many.
Such music ministers included Don Moen in Enugu, Nathaniel Bassey to minister along with him in songs during the Showers of Blessing Through Christ crusade in Port-Harcourt and Pastor William McDowell in the Wonders of the Cross crusade which held Uyo.
