Ask Kumuyi to tell you the truth.
He hid that from the public so nobody will trace his doctrine to JW.
Ask yourself: why is it that everyone likes to compare Deeperlife to JW?
When someone is telling you what is not known by the general public instead of you to think deeply you feel everything is written in black and white.
Nlandmodesfku:
They operate like a cult, they and the Jehovah's witnesses.
Nlandmodesfku:
My comparison with JW is on the basis of how strict and brutal they are about their rules. Go against their obnoxious rules and be ostracized.
A core JW friend can't even attend your wedding. He'd be punished for it.. it's a cult.
Arostar2023:
I agree we with you. Only that Deeper Life is better...I have relatives that are JW .
UCHDR:
Deeper Life is truly a great place to worship. It's a ministry known for transparency, with nothing hidden. You’re taught the undiluted Word of God directly. Whether you choose to stay, move on, start your own ministry, or another, you’ll leave spiritually enriched. Many ministers in Nigeria today have ed through Deeper Life at some point in their journey. While the doctrine may not be perfect—as no church is—it remains rooted in the sincere desire to uphold biblical truth
So why is Pastor Kumuyi lamenting? Is he trying to change those biblical truths he has preached and practiced for decades?
You are indirectly saying both churches are fulfilling what Jesus said about his true disciples:
A student is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is enough for the student to become as his teacher, and the slave as his master. If people have called the master of the house Be·elʹze·bub, how much more those of his household? Matthew 10:24-25
Deeperlifer looks like JWs because Kumuyi was once a JW but he wanted a monetized ministry whereas JW is not monetized so nobody can make money through JW organization.
JEHOVAH'S WITNESS is operating at a different level. They have been steadfast, resolute and committed.
I hold no grudge against them. They downplay commercialization of churches.
They entertain persecutions a lot, in fact more than several Christian bodies.
Seems in their church everyone is at same level irrespective of your degree, financial acquaintance and s.
And it seems they obey the Bible the most:
-They hardly disturb neighbors during prayers.
-They frown at intimidation and flamboyant lifestyles.
-They ensure financial gifts are covered and never displeased at whatever they recieve.
-Their would make good politicians but they frown at politics
I respect them. I judge based on actions and not what I'm told.
BafanaBafana:
Quite true. JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are actually one of the few denominations who are still following Christ. Most churches now are headed by motivational speakers who only use the name of Jesus to preach other things. The goal is to attract to their church and the will bring the money.
Shikena!
They remain the most peaceful Christian denomination.
They do not pay tithes. They are the only Christian denomination yet to be commercialized. They are my favourite.
Cons:
They do not recite the national anthem.
They do not participate in elections.
They do not accept blood transfusion.
freethinker01: Tho I don't like their disturbance, I'd have to say they're far better than all their Christian tithe whoring counterparts.
boss1310: The way they are hated makes me to think sometimes they might be the true Christians but I might be wrong.
Sapiosexuality:
I respect these people. They don't worship God because they are scared of hell. The truth is, if Christians imbibed some of their lifestyles the world won't be this corrupt. They don't do the fall and die prayer. They understand love more than these other churches.
Deway52:
I am convinced that JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are the real religion, they do everything in line with the bible.
Na small time remain for me now, I don enter. If everybody in the world is a jw the world would be a better place.
Love800:
I would love to be a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS, because of their gentle life. Relaxed service and programs(not those stressful and loud types), and serenity of their church yard. Infact, its this serenity of their abode that blows my mind!
But the thing that worries me, is their misled teachings. How can you say that we are not going to die, but remain on earth and unite with our love ones and live happily together forever!
Ruke1991:
Those deeper life leaders problem cannot be solved by this teaching. It's somehow a mixture of hatred, unforgiveness, jealously and protectionism that makes them discipline, frustrate, blackmail and chase away their young ones who practice speaking in tongues, who are gifted in the prophetic or are are aggressively involved in leading others to engage in prayer. Those deeper life pastors have what bible calls cloak of maliciousness. What does it mean?
They envy you but will not acknowledge it is envy. They are secretly afraid that if you set up a church, they could lose followers. But they never try to understand your mission first.
Rather they look at legalistic rules within the church. They look at the church traditions to find what they can use to punish you and kill you. The best weapon is so called disciplinary actions. You could be suspended for up to one or two years in a row and while you are under suspension rumours about you being occultic, rebellious will be going round. The in their simplistic and sanctimonious ways will start avoiding you for fear of the high handedness of their pastor not descending on them.
Deeperlife today is almost like a cult with fearful followers of high handed pastors who are not obedient to scriptures despite that they preach it. Those pastors are more about maintaining their control over the people than anything else. Or else, how do you explain their actions? Where in every location of deeper life, those who speak in tongues while leading prayer during holy ghost impartation services are considered occultic or rebels and have to serve disciplinary actions. Deeperlife is like that everywhere but the more religious try to deny the coercion and erroneous application of disciplinary action in settling personal scores by deeper life leaders. Pastor Kumuyi, you have tried. But at this stage nothing you can do to change those pastors, not even your teachings except you discipline them anyhow the way they discipline people. That's the language they understand
You can see what I told you that same day or following days that pastors, leaders or church should report you not to spoil deeper life with your mere rigidity that bears no Spirit of Love as Christ and apostles would have wanted for your fellow of the body of Christ. That message is for "YOU".
If not because someone report you as I put in the message, then it must have been the Spirit of God aligning with my warning to you to bring you a message. Stop chasing MFM pastor to stumble, don't become unturned cake anymore as the message is for you. Will you change after this message is what I can't confirm? Not only the pastors, don't ever work to pull down any of your fellow christians. When you point out their mistakes, do it with love of Christ without mixing it up with hatred or anger; and not with hatred like the one you have for MFM, and once you do that once or twice.
Shift your attention to other things. Leave the wheat and weeds to grow together as Jesus says, judgement is not in your hands. Most people you judge as wayward are even more closer to God than you because you don't know how many go to settle things with God at background while you are still looking at them as bad people.
Let the message makes a turning point for you, focus on other issues of life and stop specializing on MFM. The more you keep using your social handle to spread fakeness about him, the more God is promoting him. I like how MFM pastor concentrated without allowing distraction from Ashekun and others. May God continue to strengthen pastor Kumuyi and keep him for us.
He has tried his own part; it is left for each member to apply the message and hold onto the truth till the last day of individual on earth or till Christ returns. May God help all of us and strengthen us more for the end time service for loving Christ
Ask people in your neighborhood to know what they think about JWs and Deeperlife, you can't see anyone who will compare Apostolic Faith to Deeperlife because Kumuyi only used that to deceive gullible people the real background of his doctrine is JW!
Kumuyi was once a JW member that's why most of his moves resembles that of JWs, if anyone knows his old magazines in the 80s/90s you will notice that all the artistic impressions were taken from JW magazines but photocopy type. So Kumuyi tried to hide his JW orientation but it wasn't easy today he's now trying to change everything because he discovered that with all his brain people like Adeboye, Oyedepo and Olukoya are making money and followers more than him.
Regarding your thread of distraction this is the truth:
MaxInDHouse:
In this side of the world people acting on what they have little or no knowledge about is common.
Blood Transfusion is no longer tenable as a safe means of treatment around the world.
Though God has warned His worshipers thousands of years ago to abstain from blood {Genesis 9:4} stating it'll guarantee good health {Act 15:28-29} but faithless people feels the book (Bible) shouldn't be the sole determinant of whatever they choose to do with their lives as it's an old book written by people they don't know.
Today health practitioners around the world are enlightening their people against the hazards of blood transfusion.
Kobojunkie:
. The Deeper Life's problem was created by Kumuyi himself, who, for the longest, used many of these backhanded approaches to kick out those who did not adhere to his ideas and rules from the very beginning.
2. Disciplinary actions? You are indeed right that this organization is nothing but a cult. You indicating that others be punished for not following the news ideas of this man, after many decades of his rejecting those same methods, is all the more reason why anyone watching needs to see it for the cult it truly is.
Dogalmighty17:
I when Deeper life dedicated their new HQ in Gbagada. The sound engineer they brought was a Nigerian-American. Lady had zero f-cks to give. She left her hair open with her long attachments and wore tros. I was surprised to be honest.
A number of these churches will be in crises in the near future. With aging GO's, nebulous plans of succession and declining populations, it will be hard to see them maintain the many branches they have around.
Deeper life don't chase people for your hairstyle or hair cut.
Because a church is a combination of saint and sinners
And everyone is accepted in the church just as they are.
Haven't you seen
The Gck with people having different dresses and hairstyle, including gold and jewelry and yet they welcome
In fact
Pastor also preach to all
Even to the Muslim people and welcoming Muslims brethren to the church through the Gck and change maker international.

So please stop posting rubbish about deeper life
. Deeper Life used to do exactly that back in the 80s and 90s.
2. Maybe the new doctrines now allow such, but all of that used to be frowned upon by Kumuyi himself.
3. To this day, my mum, who is a deeper life member, still believes Celestial church are into witchcraft because that was what Kumuyi used to allude to. Now he seems to have changed his mind about them.
