Kumuyi In Ogoniland: A Crusade With A Golden Touch

 By Israel Mkpaoro and Banji Ojewale

Ancient Greece had a mythological king with a golden touch. The tale is that whatever King Midas handled became gold. It was a power he was said to have requested from a god. Midas enjoyed this boon until it threatened his sanity and humanity. He couldn’t eat food nor drink water because all turned into gold when he touched them.

The situation became tragic when, upon hugging his daughter, she was changed into a lifeless golden image. The monarch was sad. You can’t celebrate a possession that denies you life. Midas’ sea of gold was devoid of the true joy that should come with wealth.

But in our day, we have in our midst Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi, a servant of Heaven who preaches that God’s abundant blessings come without any accompanying sorrow experienced by a king. This is what we see repeatedly at Kumuyi’s outreaches, which we have come to know as Global Crusade with Kumuyi, GCK. 

Regenerative Agenda For The Youth

 By Banji Ojewale

"We must never underestimate the potential of our youths. Throughout history, God has called youths to rise up and change their world through the power of the gospel"

—William Folorunso Kumuyi, General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry.

After a timidly truculent tea-cup turmoil triggered to truncate the recent Lagos IMPACT 2022 crusade of Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, leader of Deeper Life Bible Church, the event finally held to unexpected success and wild multimedia acclaim and coverage. The programme was planned to spiritually and psychologically reorient the youngsters of our age for a positive influence on society. 

But on account of those Kumuyi invited as ministering guests, the cleric and his church were pummeled, pilloried and pulled down. Those who launched the war argued that by summoning these personalities, the octogenarian man of God was enfeebling the brand the whole world has come to know for its legendary holiness stand.

Biodun Kumuyi: Ten Years After – How Time Flies!

By Banji Ojewale

How time flies! It’s been ten years since the death of Abiodun Kumuyi, beloved wife of Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, the highly revered General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry. When this great woman passed on on April 11 2009, very few sensed that she had unobtrusively left behind lofty precepts far beyond the ambience of church business. Fewer still were aware that although these ideas were bred in a humble religious cradle, they represented an answer to the suffocating sophistry of secular man.

Apart from her husband, their two children, Jerry and John, along with a cluster of brethren who worked with Biodun or watched her at close quarters, there was probably no other person (or group) in the church that had an inkling of the weighty work she was doing as she paced the grounds of Deeper Life Bible Church , Gbagada, Deeper Life Conference Centre, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and International Bible Training Centre, Ayobo, now converted into Anchor University, the institution promoted by the church and as she travelled worldwide with her spouse.
