The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi has offered to drop his position as the GS of the church due to the ongoing controversy trailing his son's wedding.

The Controversy:
Kumuyi's second son, John, and his wife Love wedded in Jamaica on June 15th, 2013 and the wife, Love, decked in attire different from the acceptable standard set for Deeper Life mambers by the church - a simple white cotton dress with no accessory, and makeup free.

Love was dressed in a fitted Cinderella wedding gown with a see through sleeves, wore a makeup, jewelry, and a bouquet of flower, and a huge throat-dripping cake. The couple also drove home in a limousine!

These generated myriad of controversies on social media, and criticism especially from the members of the church.

Though the couple felt remorseful and tendered an open apology but was declined by the father. They were later suspended from the church by the General Superintendent himself.

New Development:
According to Sunday Sun, the practice in the Deeper Life Church is that, if members' children misbehave, both the children and their parents get punished on the ground that it's the parents failing in their responsibilities.

It was learnt that during the meeting held by the leadership of the church concerning the issue, Pastor Kumuyi offered to resign as General Superintendent just to demonstrate there is no double standard in the church, but the members refused his request.

It simply shows that double standard does exist and that some people are above the law.

STANDARDS HAS BEEN SET AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED. I LOVE HIS HUMILITY .GOD BLESS HIM

STANDARDS HAS BEEN SET AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED. I LOVE HIS HUMILITY .GOD BLESS HIM.

Deeper Life Bible church is worthy of emulation. The members rejecting the GO's resignation is because as its said ''man wasn't made for the law but the law for man''.its completely based on their discretion to suspend him or not

Standard has been set and should be followed.I love his humility .God bless him

I may question deeper life's ideology but the heck - I admire the standard set by the church

The worst pple to trust are the media men......if u guys were at the last program dlbc held last month u won't speak trash...the pastor spoke on the wedding of his son and the his son was disciplined...his son also wrote a letter to the church apologizing......the pastor never offered to resign plz....stop saying trash plz

Everyone is talking standards, yes, but d couple showed remorse, what happend to 'forgiveness' which he even preaches about? Abeg spare me.I saw nothing wrong wit d wedding dress, she was all covered up,no one is eating d hands jare,she was simple and very ok.what if D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ r all covered up,yet stil living in sin? Pls we should stop looking at self righteousness or hypocrisy and preach genuine repentance.
