Only change birthed by inner transformation will lead Nigeria to the Promised Land, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Ministries, Pastor William Kumuyi, has declared.

Kumuyi stated that the clamour for change was a welcome development but said it might be a mirage except it is complimented on inner transformation.

He spoke to reporters ahead of a state-wide crusade in conjunction with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) in Lagos State.

The holiness preacher, who was represented by the Deeper Life Bible Church Moderator Lagos, Pastor Joseph Fasanmi, said the crusade which commences on Tuesday will hold for the next two months.

He said: “The crusade will hold at Ikeja, Ketu, Gbagada, Festac, Isolo, Agege, Alimosho, Oshodi, Orile, Ajegunle, Surulere, Apapa, Lagos Island and Shomolu.”

He assured the crusade will usher in an era of real spiritual, moral, physical, material, political and economic transformation.

According to him: “The crusade will also bring down the power of God with a view to ameliorating the rather punishing challenges many contend with.”

Kumuyi added: “Our conviction is that as we pray and hold the crusades, real and enduring change will come.

“We have the firm assurance of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ that Lagos State will soon experience an atmosphere of calmness, true freedom and liberty as God confirms His word with signs and wonders.”

As the country approaches the New Year, The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi has advised Christians to always exhibit the virtue of patience, love and peace in the face of seeming challenges of life.

Kumuyi made this charge at the monthly two-day miracle programme recently organised by the church at the Deeper Conference Centre, Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

The event tagged ‘Get connected with the Power In the Old Time Way’, the November series, brought together over 50,000 Christian faithful from around Lagos State.

In his sermon, Kumuyi offered seven ‘Rs’ of what to do to guarantee total healing and deliverance from every form of oppression which are Repentance, Removal of Idols, Remembering God’s supremacy above any form of challenge and Rejecting anything that is tormenting their lives.

The other ‘Rs’ include Rebuking all forms of sicknesses and diseases, Receiving healing and deliverance as well as Rejoicing because the joy of the Lord is their strength.

The cleric went further to say that Christians should learn not to exalt their enemies above God as he advised them to stop praying for the death of their enemies.

“As Christians, Jesus Christ commanded us in the Bible that we should feed our enemies if they hunger or thirst but nowadays people are going contrary by praying that their enemies should die forgetting that we have final authority and power over unconquerable enemies. Christians can also have God’s protection from unrepentant enemies and great progress despite unappeasable enemies as well as glorious posture amidst unbending and unyielding enemies,” he said.

He said Christians’ progress and success in life are not in the hands of their enemies but in the hands of God, stressing that it is only God that has the final say over their lives, thus they should stop praying that their enemies should die because it only shows they don’t have confidence in God.

“If Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar and Herod did not have a final say over God’s children in the Bible then no enemy can have a final say over the lives of God’s children. Joseph got to the place of his destiny despite all the threat from his brothers,” he said.

Kumuyi also tasked Nigerians to leave vengeance to God and not to avenge themselves of their enemies, saying; “Do not overcome evil with evil but use good to overcome evil because as a believer, your actions in the midst of the people you live with matters a lot, give people another opportunity, no matter the wrong they have done against you, no reaction, no anger and no fighting.”

The General Superintendent also used the occasion to announce the forthcoming two-in-one December Retreat and monthly revival and miracle programme titled ‘Crossing Over to A New Inheritance’ and ‘Prevailing over the Storms of Life,’ saying the programme will also feature salvation, healing and deliverance as usual at the same venue.

Church leaders have been charged to flee corruption, fight compromises and follow Christ with sincere hearts.

The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bile Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, gave the charge at the annual Worker’s Retreat of the church at its Conference Centre on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Kumuyi noted that churches in Nigeria are growing numerically but lamented members lack holiness and remain unconverted, unconnected and uncommitted to Christ.

According to him: “We will only be able to hand down the true gospel that is able to save and take us to heaven to the next generation when we make frantic efforts to remain uncompromising to the truth that our children can live and stand by no matter the odds around them.”

He added: “No matter the socio-economic changes in our world today, God will never change His standard to suit any individual or Church because He is a holy God and He requires that His Church be holy and without blemish.”

The holiness preacher said though the world will seek to influence the Church, “we will need to always draw the lines so that we can keep ourselves unspotted in this perilous world.”
