The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor Dr. WF Kumuyi has told his members to stop addressing him as Biggest Daddy, and convener. The clergyman who has been on evangelism train around the states in the country told his congregations that he is a teacher and the Pastor of Deeper Life Bible Church.
This announcement was made during the Monday Bible Study at the church headquarters in Gbagada, Lagos State. During the sermon titled “Becoming Better under the Teaching of Our King” with Bible references from Daniel 1:3-5, 8, 17-20 and Hebrew 1:1-4.
The clergyman described himself as the teacher, the pastor, the preacher of Deeper Life Bible Church. Pastor Kumuyi said: “To start with, I don’t want you to continue calling me……, you know we are in Bible Study and you are calling me convener of GCK, I am the General Superintendent of Deeper Life, I am not….you know…. Convener, convener, I teach the word, crusade is good, evangelism is good, that is part of my calling, but when we divert everybody's attention to the convener of GCK, teacher of Deeper Life and the Pastor of Deeper Life Bible Church, that is whom I am. Am I right?
“Let our Moderator stop that convener, convener and if you come here (pulpit) to make any announcement….convener, that is enough, that is enough, the teacher, the pastor, the preacher of Deeper Life Bible Church.
”It was also on record that the church often has a special program for the young ones during the monthly Global Crusade with Kumuyi. The January edition of the GCK program is tagged “Unforgettable Encounter with the God of Wonder” while the Impact Academy for the youth is tagged “Wonderfully Made for Excellent” and the Ministers and Workers program is tagged “Encountering Wonders in Life and Ministry”. During the Monday Bible Study, the clergyman also cautioned the young ones in the church to stop calling him Biggest Daddy, Sugar Daddy.
He said:
“Then to the young people, let me do everything at the same time, biggest daddy, sugar daddy, let us stop all that, let us stop the biggest daddy, that means there is the biggest daddy, there is a bigger daddy, there is a big daddy and there is a small daddy.
Let us stop all that. The pastor, I am your pastor, I am your father in the Lord, that is scriptural, that is the Bible when we say our father in the Lord, then you will remind yourself that you are a son in the Lord and you are a daughter in the Lord.
“So let us cancel completely the biggest
daddy, let us cancel the convener, convener, yes I am a convener of GCK when we are at the crusade but now we are……. Are you at the crusade tonight? Where are we tonight? Bible Study, he said.
