[Just In]: “We Didn’t Get it From the Bible”: Pastor Kumuyi Modifies Another Deeper Life Law [VIDEO]

The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has clarified that some of the church’s long-standing rules on marriage are not biblical but administrative guidelines

Pastor William Kumuyi instructed the ban of two traditions of the church

The cleric said that Christians must distinguish between God’s law and church principles, noting that such rules are flexible and not divine commandments.

Specificall, K umuyi announced that the law banning a lady from visiting a man she intends to marry has been nulified.

He further explained that intending couples can freely visit themselves during courtship, but only on the condition that she or he go with an elder.

The revered man of God explained that the aforementioned rule was introduced for practical reasons but should not be treated as divine law.

“We just felt you need some time to know one another. And then We said one month will be too short, two months too short. So, why not six months? ut it is not t from the Bi Bible,” he said.

Kumuyi on principles versus the law of God
The cleric stressed that Christians must distinguish between God’s law and church principles, urging members not to treat human rules as scriptural commandments.

“As a Christian, you need to become so mature that you know the difference between the law of God and the principles in the church,” Kumuyi said.

He added: “Six months is all right, but it’s not something inflexible. If we change it to three months, we’re not changing the Bible, because six months is not in the Bible.”

Pastor Kumuyi also explained that the church’s marriage committee was created solely to provide guidance, not to replace biblical authority.

“There’s no marriage committee in the New Testament. We created it to help you, not because we can give you a chapter and a verse. It is church administration,” he stated.

Kumuyi warned leaders not to wield undue authority, saying: “Marriage committees should not exercise an authority that God has not given them. This is just church organisation, not divine law.”
