Kumuyi Speaks On Handling Over Deeper Life To His Sons

The founder of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has said no General Overseer has the right to hand over a church to his son.

Naija News reports that Kumuyi stated this while addressing public speculation over who would lead the church in his absence.

In a now-trending video, the cleric said the church belongs to Jesus Christ and not to any individual.

Kumuyi said those speculating on whether he would hand over the church to any of his sons were mistaken, as the ministry did not belong to him.

He said, “It’s the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and nobody has the right to hand it over to his son.

“Many people are speculating, Is he going to hand over the church to any of his sons? They were searching for his first son and his second son, asking where they were. Where do they live? Or is he not going to hand over the church?

“Well, it’s not his church. And because it’s not his church, Jesus said upon this rock, I will build my church. Jesus said it’s His church and not Peter’s church; it is nobody’s church.”

The cleric said leadership of the church must be guided by the will of God, not family succession.

Kumuyi stated, “It’s the church of the Lord Jesus Christ and nobody has the right to hand it over to his son.

“Peter did not hand over the church to his son, Paul did not have any son or wife, and John did not hand over the church to his son.

“And all the people that we read about who were standing in the faith and standing for the kingdom of God. And that kingdom of God is not meat and drink, it is righteousness and joy in the holy Ghost.

“I’m not about to hand over to any son. The will of the Lord be done in Jesus name.”
