GENERAL Superintendent of Deeper Christ-ian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi at the flag-off of a state-wide crusade in Lagos declared that he was praying for President Muhammadu Buhari to succeed in his administration’s war against corruption in the country.
Addressing newsmen at the opening of the Lagos City-Wide Crusade organised by the church in conjunction with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at the Police College, Ikeja, Lagos, he urged Nigerians to support the president rather than complain-ing. According to the cleric, Pre-sident Buhari needed the wisdom of God to pull through in the fight against corruption in the country, adding “My prayer for the country is that the mighty change, supernatural change that God has done for individuals, He should do for our country and you see, God works in diverse ways and as we see all the things happening, fighting against corruption and all that, we need the wisdom of God, power of God and the support of God. “My prayer is that God will assist the government to actually pull through until we get to the end of the tunnel in Jesus name. A change is coming and the change has started already,” he said, admonishing Nigerians to put their trust in God as there is hope for the nation. “The encouragement I want to give everyone is that we should have hope and we should look unto God Who is able and will definitely turn things around, it may not take place this very minute, but God is going to do wonders in our country and things will turn around for the better,” he assured. Kumuyi also assured that in spite of the socio-economic uncertainties in the country, there is still a strong hope for Nigerians. In a message entitled, “The Wonders of Supernatural Chan-ge,” he emphasised that God has power to change all negative circumstances, assuring the huge crowd of participants that no matter the challenges of life, which they had been facing and which they might have sought for solutions in different quarters, God would provide lasting solution to them. Kumuyi, who pointed out that the greatest problem of man was sin, urged those who were bound by chain of sins to urgently seek forgiveness from God. “The Lord does not condemn sinners but out to save them. Sinners must boldly take a step by confessing their sins. It is futile to think that it is impossible to live a righteous life. God is capable of saving sinners no matter the level of sin, which they have committed. “Every work of Satan in your life must be reversed. Bad luck has come to an end. Sorrow and reproach have come to an end. This is a time for supernatural change. You must leave all your sins behind. God has declared that this day, salvation has come into your life. God will not reject you,” said. One of the major highlights of the city-wide crusade which had continued in Ketu, Gbagada, Ikorodu and Festac Town is that despite the huge cost of organis-ing the programme the church has refused to collect offering at the venues. Participants at each of the five venues so far, had expressed pleasant surprise at the develop-ment with some arguing that several other churches would have taken advantage of the huge financial outlay involved to collect two or three offerings to offset the expense. A spokesperson for the church told our reporter that the church does not charge people to attend its crusades, insisting that it is rather more concerned about winning souls for the kingdom of God. One of the participants at the crusade, Ms Marvellous Archi-bong, testified how she regained her sight, disclosing that she was born blind, but that 18 after her birth, Kumuyi came to her state to preach and that after his prayer, she regained her sight. Archibong said: “After the Kumuyi’s prayer that day, I had a dream and in the dream, I saw a man in white robe operating a lady and the man told her that the lady is me. When I woke up the following day, I started seeing.” As he bring transfromation to Agege The General Superint-endent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi is bringing his message of spiritual, moral, physical, material, political and econo-mic transformation to the peo-ple of Agege in Lagos as the church’s state-wide crusade berths at the Agege Stadium on September 22. The crusade coming on the heels of a promise of the political change made by the new admini-stration in Lagos State. Clearly, since the anchor of the Christian belief is that things that are seen are made from the things not seen, there cannot be effective change unless spiritual change is first and foremost completed. This crusade is then a task consciously taken by the Man of God who under-stands the linkages of times and seasons in the move of God in providing transformation for His people. One crucial aspect of the state-wide crusade is the high level of partnership and collaboration that the quintessential pastor brought to play in organizing it. Deeper Life is working with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to ensure that the logistics and the spiritual support for the crusade is total. An indication that the people of Lagos are in for a spectacular time of the move of God, a list of expectation has been given for the people to benchmark the success of the event. One of them is that Lagos State will experien-ce a wave of change never felt before, in the spiritual realm that will enhance unprecedented moral and physical progress that will in turn bring material development to the people. There is the assurance that Agege and it’s environs will be turned downside up with the move of God for Jesus because wherever the spirit of God is there is liberty. Liberty has been programmed for Agege and there is the promise also that like in the days of Prophet Elijah fire will come down from heaven to consume everything that God has not put in place. In another dimension, mountains will be moved, valleys will be filled and all crooked places made straight through the power of God. Other areas where Pastor Kumuyi has promised that the mighty finger of God will do wonders is in the prosperity of the people. There will be spectacular miracles which have never been heard of or seen before in Agege. Businesses that have been dead, all others that are ailing, many that are not doing well will receive life and flourish again. This will be boom time for Agege to replace the pall of gloom that has been over the place. Pastor Kumuyi has held two similar crusades before and they were highly successful. The first was a one day-crusade just like the one scheduled for September 22 and it took place at Central College, then known as Dairy Farm College in 2004 and the second was at the Cocoa Ground, Ogba in 2009. The Dairy Farm College crusade was a spectacle to behold. The thronging crowd was to later extend beyond the major road, linking Agege to Akilo and Ogba. It also extended to Pen Cinema Junction. It was a lock down for Christ and Agege knew that the King of kings and the Lord of lords actually came down from heaven to be among His people. The second crusade at Cocoa Ground at Ogba in 2009 was also spectacularly successful. It was a three-day event which witnessed an extra-ordinary explosion of the power of God. Now, the G.S. is set for Agege and the awakening and trans-formation is about to shower. He is coming to demonstrate the uncommon grace and energy that God has bestowed upon him. At about 74 years, he is getting stronger with renewed vigour every day. For some months now, he has been traversing local governments and communities to bring salvation to those bound by the devil. He wants to cover the entire country even including territor-ies being terrorized by Boko-Haram. Pastor Kumuyi will also bring the strength and speed of God to wake up Agege, the residents and all those who will come into the area with the belief that God will bring great transformation to their lives. *Mr. Ayela, a veteran journalist, lives in Agege, Lagos.
