Opinion
By Nwankwo T. Nwaezeigwe
LET me begin by referring us to the Book of 1 Peter chapter 4, verse 17 which states: “For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?”
When Friedrich Nietzsche said, “All truths that are kept silent become poisonous”, he was customarily referring to a man like Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, the General Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church Ministry and Apostle of Godliness and Holiness.
On Tuesday August 22, 2023, Pastor Kumuyi told the suffering Nigerian masses to forget their history and continue to leave with their suffering present. In his words: “Let’s forget the past. This is a new day and I believe we all believe that we’re going to see new things for our country through our President and the members of the cabinet. Good things will happen.”
I want to remind Pastor Willian F. Kumuyi that under the present vexatious economic and political situation of the Nigerian nation, that coercive and intimidating biblical verse “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm”, as recorded respectively in the Books of 1 Chronicles 16:22 and Psalms 105:15, does not apply to people like me, neither does it make any meaningful spiritual sense to any supposed man of God who prophesies lies in the name of the words of God for a morsel of bread.
I want to ask Pastor Kumuyi and all the members of his Ahithophelian band of Nigerian Church leaders what the Holy Bible says about the Counsel of Ahithophel in the Book of 2 Samuel Chapter 17, verse 14? Did the Holy Bible not say: “For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom?”
Pastor Kumuyi wants the suffering and oppressed Nigerian masses to forget the past, because his doctrinal pasts like the pasts of Nigerian leaders are coated with immutable deceits and lies constructed on cancerous and pretentious spiritual foundations and spurious political carriages. Suffice it to say that Nigerian Christians like the present writer have been made to tolerate the deceits and lies of such Nigerian Christian leaders as Pastor W. F. Kumuyi for long period of time not because of their assumed untouchability and questionable spiritual presumptuousness, but because of their vulture-like spiritual dispositions.
And as our people often say, unless you stone the vulture, it will not realize its ugly dispositions; I want to state that it is right time the Nigerian Christians rise up against the Judas Iscariots among their Church leaders without denominational bias. There is record proving that Fulani herdsmen, Muslim bandits, Boko Haram and ISWAP demand for denominational identity of any Christian before being kidnapped or killed.
Pastor Kumuyi is a man of God who preaches Holiness and Godliness as the cemen fondu of his doctrine. He is a man who preaches abundance of the Spirit and austerity of material things of the world and for that reason does not pay most of his Pastors for their spiritual and pastoral vocations, as enshrined thus in the Book of 1 Corinthians Chapter 9, verses 13 and 14:
“Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel?”
Yet when his son got married in June 2013, it was no longer an event of Godliness and Holiness, and austerity of the material things of the world; but an occasion of despicable carnality and unrestrained opprobrious extravagance to the chagrin of the meek and poor masses of the Deeper Life Bible Ministry, whose relentless sacrificial donations, offerings and tithes have kept the oil of the engine of the Church flowing without ceasing.
Pastor Kumuyi is a man who preaches that liars are destined to eternal condemnation and hell-fire. Yet his doctrines are constructed on institutionalized spiritual deceits and incorrigible lies. From commanding his members to destroy their television sets because to him those who watched televisions were destined to eternal condemnation and hell-fire, he now not only preaches live on the same television but owns his private television network.
On April 10, 1986, while addressing the press at Ibadan, Pastor Kumuyi invited Nigerians to “Special Prayers” for the unity and survival of Nigeria. From that date to the present not only did prayers and number of Churches increased geometrically more than ten folds, disunity, insecurity and the quest for separation have equally increased geometrically more than ten folds.
In 2015, as reported by Comrade Godwin Ameh on the Daily Post issue of June 8, 2015, Pastor Kumuyi prophesied to Nigerians that God ordained Buhari and Osinbajo as Nigeria’s anointed leaders who would deliver the best to Nigerians. The truth about Pastor Kumuyi’s 2015 prophecy is not only fresh in our memories, but still lives with the vulnerable Nigerian populace till this moment of my writing.
In his December 25, 2016 message, the same Pastor W. F. Kumuyi informed the Nigerian populace that God will give President Muhammadu Buhari solution to Nigeria’s problem in 2017. Without prejudice to the fact that that was actually the same year the real Muhammadu Buhari died in the United Kingdom and was buried in Saudi Arabia. Nigerians can judge from what has transpired within the Nigerian political and economic spaces since that prophetic proclamation of December 25, 2016, if Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi is indeed an oracle of God.
Here again in 2023, after all the glaring electoral impunity and robbery that characterized the Presidential and other elections, with the Nigerian populace anxiously waiting for the landmark verdict of the Presidential Election Tribunal, the same Pastor Kumuyi is not only telling Nigerians to forget the history of their pasts and that of their fraudulent political leaders’ criminality, rascality and cancerous corruption, but accept their status of political slavery under political Amalekites and Philistines.
Is it not a case of high point of spiritual apostasy and imperious heresy that people like Pastor Kumuyi who masquerade as ordained men of God, General Overseers and Bishops of all categories and denominations will be sleeping with their two naked eyes closed, while innocent Christians are being slaughtered daily by Fulani jihad-inspired terrorists and, their native homelands criminally appropriated for foreign Fulani immigrants?
We are however consoled by the word of God in the Book of 1 John chapter 4, verse 1, which states inter alia: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
I want to state without mincing words that it is the height of heresy and apostasy that people like Pastor Kumuyi will even be shameless enough to advance the cause of a Muslim President and a Muslim Vice President in a country where Christians are not only in majority by number but constitute what could rightly be described as the fountains of unity, patriotism, modernity and credible development, just because the purported Muslim President is his fellow Yoruba ethnic kinsman?
The Nigerian Christians who are glaringly witnessing the satanic pangs of Philistine political leadership cannot continue to keep quiet while their Christian heirloom continues to be physically consumed by the Luciferian fire of Islamic fundamentalism, just because their purported anointed men of God like Pastor W. F. Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Bible Ministry chose to play Judas Iscariot against God’s intentions for his flocks and wider national interest just because of their insatiable love of money and iniquitous ethnic and tribalistic bigotry.
Whatever it takes to be a patriotic and zealous Christian leader within the current state of Nigerian political space, although Bishop David Oyedepo might not be perfect as with every other human being, his imperfection however is infinitesimal to his perfection as a Christian warrior and General Overseer in his open confrontation against the attacks on Nigerian Christians by vile Fulani jihadists. His noble status is equally and credibly shared by the likes of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Pastor Dr Paul Enenche, Bishop David Abioye and Prophet Isa el-Buba. These are the men of God credibly described by the Book of Revelation is “Hot.”
Their unrepentant fight against Fulani jihad and the heinous crime of slaughtering innocent Christians cannot be faulted in any manner. They stand effectively guided and guarded by the Holy Spirit in their ferocious opposition to Muslim-Muslim Presidency of the Nigerian Federation irrespective of their ethnic affiliations.
To Christian leaders like Pastor Kumuyi it does not matter to their vile ethnic sentiments that on Sunday 5 June, 2022 more than sixty Christians were slaughtered in St Francis Catholic Church, Owo—at the heart of Yorubaland by Muslim jihadists. To this set of Christian leaders if it does not concern their immediate family members, it is not an ungodly episode worthy of condemnation.
This is what Pastor W. F. Kumuyi and all the other Yoruba Pastors of supposed high anointing, who recklessly and shamelessly throw overboard the cautions of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit they preach every day, lack in both their anointing and vocational carriages as Pastors. This class of iniquitous Judas Iscariots not only support the Muslim-Muslim Presidency of a multi-religious Nigeria because their fellow Yoruba ethnic kinsman is the iniquitous President, but go further to treacherously preach the Counsel of Ahithophel to the oppressed Christians of Nigeria, condemnably urging them to accept the status of slavery under the Philistine Presidency of Ahmed Tinubu, as if Jesus Christ will be crucified a second time.
For Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi who has been preaching all the days of his life, it is time for the ordinary people to preach to him in their rights as ordained members of the Universal Priesthood of Christ, hoping that Pastor Kumuyi will act as the contact for other men of God of his kind.
The Book of Proverbs chapter 6 verses 16 to 19 explicitly states:
“There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.”
I want Pastor Kumuyi to tell Nigerians if the current Nigerian political leadership he is urging Nigerians to submit to their criminal whims and caprices is not subject to the above Divine diktats and further, if he as a Pastor cannot be described as an accomplice, bearing in mind the verse that says, “a false witness who breathes out lies”? I want to further bring to the notice of Pastor Kumuyi what the Holy Bible says in relation to his ungodly dispositions to the plight of Nigerian masses in the hands of their wicked political leaders. The Book of Romans chapter 1, verses 18 and 19 explicitly addresses Pastor Kumuyi in these words:
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.”
I mince no further words to again refer Pastor Kumuyi to the Book of Matthew chapter 7, verses 21 to 23 which states ipso facto:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”
I want to conclude by further reminding Pastor Kumuyi of the dare consequences of playing God or Judas Iscariot. The only action that will save such spiritually corrupt and bankrupt Christian leaders as Pastor Kumuyi from eternal condemnation and hell-fire is for them to come out and boldly confront in Truth and Spirit what are considered evils today in the affairs of Nigerian political leadership and system, particularly as they concern the continuous massacre of Christians by Muslims under the protection of the State, the naked Islamization of the country through Government-instigated and protected violence against Christians, imperious display of unrestricted corruption by the political class, and the last Presidential election which was painted in absolute criminality.
It will be disastrous for the likes of Pastor Kumuyi to believe that they are above the instant Judgment of God. After all what crime did Moses commit that warranted his exclusion from the final possession of the Promised Land? What crime did King Saul commit that denied him God’s favor which the likes of Pastor Kumuyi have not committed? And what offence did Ananias and his wife Sapphira commit that is not common among Nigerian Christian leaders of today that warranted their instant death?
I am also not disturbed if my present exhortations are considered the words of a madman. After all who was Samuel when he prophesied against the House of Eli the Chief Priest? The word of God through the Holy Bible is clear and made manifest to those who believe.
For those Christian leaders who believe that keeping quiet is their best option in the face of the on-going religious, economic and political miscarriage of justice and rampaging atrocities of the Nigerian Amalekites and Philistines, the Book of Revelation chapter 3, verses 15 and 16 has the judgment: “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
For those Nigerian Christian leaders who have chosen to play Judas Iscariot in the face of the current precipitous state of political and economic affairs in Nigeria, hereby represented by Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Bible Church Ministries, the Book of Acts of the Apostles chapter 1, verse 20 has this to say concerning them: “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms: “‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, “‘May another take his place of leadership.’”
