Thank God the man of God is still standing for
holiness and righteousness. But here are some old beliefs of WF kumuyi
in which he latter sent into oblivion.
1) TELEVISION- In
the early days of Deeper life church. Television and anything that
relates to it was seen as a taboo. The gadget was tagged “the box of the
devil” and members of the church were strictly warned against Tv, video
cameras in wedding and so on.Repairing of TV was also abomination. But
today, the church itself, I.e Deeper life Bible Church now have over Ten
thousands television in their various church for live transmissions.
Video cameras are also now been used during events by members of the
church
2) BE HAPPY WHEN YOU ARE SICK: In one of the old messages
of pastor kumuyi. He made mention that saints and Christians should be
happy when they are sick because it should be a thing of joy when it is
time to cross over to the other side of eternity I.e heaven. But today,
Pastor kumuyi now pray against death of members of the church and even
organizes monthly programs and crusades against every form of sickness
and disorders. He equally encourages his pastors to have some time to
rest to prevent deaths and illness from overstress.
3) WEARING OF
SUITS: Although he was not against wearing of suit. But he said he
preferred wearing his Shirt and trousers.That was majorly his mode of
dressing until the early 2000′ when Pastor kumuyi suddenly changed to
suit and Tie which has hence became his permanent mode of dressing.
4)
BUILDING OF SCHOOLS BY THE CHURCH: It was believed that the church
never intended to build any university or schools in the past so that
Members can spread and shine as salts in the world rather than been
confined in a given location. But today the church now has many
secondary schools (Deeper life high schools) and a university (anchor
university)
5) USE OF HANDKERCHIEF IN HEALING: In the late 80’s
or early 90’s handkerchief was said to have been used by the man of God
during miracle services, but this was latter abolished.
