Prince Dele Banjo Protests At Deeper Life Headquarters Over Unconventional Music by daughters13: 2:56pm On Jan 22, 2022
The anti-indecency campaigner and deeper life member, Prince Dele Banjo has staged a peaceful protest at the Deeper Life Headquarters at Gbagada, Lagos.

The protest is in connection with the introduction of unconventional music to Deeper Life.

Prince Dele Banjo stated:

"We are surprised about the introduction of unconventional music as well as the invitation of Gospel rock stars to Deeper Life. We are also surprised about the invitation of local Christian musicians that are not advocates of modesty to deeper life.

We are surprised because pastor Kumuyi who is our father in the Lord did not raise us his children with such music. Instead, he raised us with modesty, holiness and the belief that we should worship God with our book of hymns alone using low toned and humble songs.

Pastor Kumuyi was the one that taught us all we know about modesty and holiness, so we are surprised that our teacher is changing direction and he is inviting international Gospel rock stars and local musicians that are not advocates of modesty to come and sing at deeper life.

We strongly believe that as a holiness church, deeper life ought to stick with our choir and our God given hymn book alone. We don't need unnecessary noise from these American gospel rockstars and these local Christian musicians.

Our God given and humble choir at deeper life that consists of those lovely teenagers, keyboardists and trumpeters is enough for us at deeper life.

Since he is our father in the Lord, we hereby request an explanation from him; we want to our dear father in the Lord to defend the invitation of rockstars and local Christian musicians that are not advocates of modesty.

We hold in our hands the book of hymns in order to prove to everyone that all we need in deeper life is our God given book of hymns.


Thank you very much"

Brother, as a young man born in Deeper life Bible Church in the Early 80's and Grommed in DLBC until 2004 when I moved to the The Lords Chosen, I must say you have a very Valid Protest!

I Perceive GOD is using you to Pass a Very Strong Message to HIS Church and HIS servant. The ways of GOD ALMIGHTY are not the ways of Men.
The ALMIGHTY HOLY GOD will not change HIS Standard because of a Changing World.

I Pray HIS Servant and one of the Core Holiness Apostles and Generals of this Generation, Pastor WF Kumuyi takes note of this Peaceful Protest.

So the gospel artistes that were invited to sing at Deeper Life programs are going to hell fire and Pastor Kumuyi is now one of their accomplice?

Can we differentiate what it means to have true knowledge of Christ apart from being inclined towards religion?

Mr Righteousness, I'm disappointed in you sir. You actually belong to those who think righteousness is only by the garment you wear, the way you walk etc (salvation by work).

As long as the pastor is not telling people to go against the principles of Jesus, the rest of the traditions can rot away as they should.

I'm of the opinion that Kumuyi is trying separate the things that were man-made from those that be of God in his doctrine, so kudos to him.

I am not trying to hold brief for the one you responded to,only the claim you made caught my attention.. undecided

Jesus Christ warned against the teaching of doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches) declaring that they are all lies that lead men away from the Truth of God - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13. According to Jesus Christ, a belief steeped in lies will never turn out to be true and this is a logical rule really ...

TRUE + FALSE = FALSE
FALSE + (- TRUE) = FALSE

So where do you get this idea that when the rest of the traditions(all lies) rot away, somehow Truth that is of Jesus Christ will be revealed? undecided

Backslide? You mean his invitations to popular singers like Don Moen, the other Nataniel man among others is cause to conclude he has backslidden? Neverminding the fact that the doctrines and traditions of his church are of men and not of God, one of them being the lie that Salvation comes at no cost to you? undecided

Rubbish and useless claim

The introduction of new music to the church is welcoming
I'm in my early 20s and i must say we love it

Was born into the church...all of us

We tired of them 17th and 18th century hymns
The introduction was for the youth definitely...we cant relate no more to those old sounds

We don't even know the composers

Funny enough most time we dont sings these songs by ourselves...it always prerecorded in some tapes

If u think na lie go to any local deeperlife church

Personally i don't get move too much by those sounds

They old, music has changed over the years

But wait...who is the man tagging world musician

Lol

Is this what a supposed Dlbc member is meant to say??

When did church turn to a place of Concert or rather Enjoyment??.

Why has the same Catholic Church we all castigate refused to change their way of worship??....

Church isn't about gathering crowd.... It's all about the impact being made in the lives of people and making them ready for the Kingdom.... It's really bad if you change your doctrine or standard just to keep members in the church.

I'm not saying the church is derailing on it's doctrine but this your statement no follow at all.

And before you come for me.... I was born and brought up in the church and still a member.

God will help us.

I was shocked too to see Nathaniel bassey in their crusade handbill and was over shocked when kumuyi addressed him as evangelist bassey on the crusage ground when hymns could have been sung by the glorious choir of the church. Nathaniel bassey is not a member. Why rate him above church choir? I see publicity sake

This looks like a case of lack of spiritual understanding

1 Corinthians 3:4 (New King James Version)
For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?


1 Corinthians 12:12-27 ( English Standard Version )
One Body with Many Members

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves[a] or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

Isaiah 64:6 "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like a filthy rag"....

It is not only blacks that infuse tradition & doctrines into religion, the Pharisee were masters in this. Jesus came to give us Christianity:Christ like behavior but like the Jewish, we always focus on strict observance of the traditional and written laws of man which is most time not progressive and archaic.

This is hypocrisy at its best and I wish this man will repent. People like this have the worst human character traits on earth, I have met a few like him...

Well I don't know of naija but deeper life churches in western countries really need to modernise or else their youths will leave finish.
Focus should be on discipline and spiritual development. Not all these inconsequential church doctrines.

Maybe you should teach us how to worship and praise God then. Maybe you should tell us which songs are spiritual and which are carnal.
