Pastor William Kumuyi has offered to resign as General Superintendent
of the Deeper Life Bible Church following the controversy that trailed
his 2nd son’s wedding.
Already, the newly weds had been suspended despite showing remorse
and tendering an apology to the church, blaming their misconduct on the
fact that both of them had resided abroad for so long.
Sun gathered reports that the practice in the Deeper Christian Life Ministry is that if members’ children misbehave, both the children and their parents get punished on the grounds that it’s the parents’ failing in their responsibilities that made the children to err.
Love, who is a daughter of the National Overseer of Deeper Life Bible
Church, Jamaica, Pastor Augustine Odih, was dressed in a fitted stylish
wedding gown with transparent short sleeves. She also wore makeup,
jewelry and carried a bouquet of flowers. The couple cruised in a
limousine and had a huge wedding cake
Although the children involved in the Jamaican wedding infraction are
adults, the leadership of the church regarded their action as a strong
breach of its tradition, and immediately removed the bride’s father,
from his position as National Overseer in Jamaica.
To demonstrate that there is no double standard in the church, it was
further learnt that Pastor Kumuyi, at the meeting held by the
leadership of the church on the matter, offered to resign as General
Superintendent, but was prevailed upon not to.
The General Superintendent reportedly did not take kindly to the
couple’s behaviour and, unlike Eli in the Bible who did not discipline
his sons and incurred the wrath of God, Pastor Kumuyi had ensured that
the offenders were sanctioned.
