Do you Know of any other Church in Nigeria that lost most of her members like Deeper Life Bible Church? Why the exodus? Have you been part of the History of Deeper Life? Do you know anyone who was offended and left? We are compilling a Book of Her History, sourcing information that are relevant, if you know so much, we can contact you. I have heard that many Pastors in Nigeria left Deeper Christian Life Ministry to start their Churches, it seems to me that Deeper Life had a great impact on several Pastor, I don’t know how true, but I heard that Pastor Tunde Bakare Left deeper life to start Latter Rain, That Steven Akinola of Port Harcourt also was a member of Deeper Life and that Pastor Alfred Itiowe was also a strong member of Deeper Life, Is it also True that DK Olukoya of Mountain of Fire left Deeper life also, Dr. Ransomed Bello left from Kaduna, there are several others who made the list, People like Lawon of Ibadan, Pastor Shafe of Cross River, Itiola of USA one other man from London whose name I cannot remember Is it true, that the church Punish people with Transfer and subsequently make them irrelevant after they have served, is it true that they are not well catered for like Bishop Oyedepo does to his Pastors, My point is, why are they leaving deeper life? I haerd that Deeper life lost several members to other churches just as many churches lost members to Deeper life in the 70s Can you give names of other members of Deeper Life that you know who left in any country state of the world to start their own church. The mass exodus from Deeper life is not same with Reedem Christian Church and do you think the Church was fair with all of the people who left Tell me what you know about Deeper life from your own end and let us do the book together |

@Poster, Do you know if Gbile Akanni was also a member of Deeper Life? so, Tunde Bakare also left Deeper Life, No wonder, Suprise! Where did Olukoya get his fire prayers since most deeper life are outwardly quiet in Prayer and unenergetic. I am so curious, you seems to know know them by thier names.

Dr D.K Olukoya was never a member of Deeper Life ministries. He was born into C.A.C and was a member until he started his own ministry in the early 80s 2 Likes 1 Share |

see the kind of authors we have in nigeria . you want to write a book and "facts" in the book will be based on hearsay from NL. Sorry. Tunde Bakare was at sometime a member of deeper life but he did not leave to start his ministry from there. He left deeper life for RCCG and left thereafter to start his ministry. I am not aware that olukoya had any ties with deeper life. 2 Likes |

Deeper christian life is a God choosen church, if u say the pastors are not well taking of on like the RCCG, it may be a blackmail. Kumuyi teaches Holiness. He is a soul wining servant of God. He knows what is good to do to please God. For me, i would say that those Pastors that break up from chruch to form their own church do that to become founder or that they believe they are spiritually stronge enough to head a church as they ve gotten experience from their old church. Is Kumuyi aware of ur moves? Is it to be done for the glory of God? If mejority of christians are not in surport of ur ideal, will u still carry on? Becareful, dont blackmail a true Sarvant of God. Off topic: did i read someone call Deeper life a sect? 2 Likes |

God is Sovereign in His way of doing things. He put check and balances to life and denominations alike. so let be careful not to hurt God purpose. For all I know is that Pastor Williams Folorunsho Kumuyi ( Just like Daddy E.O Adeboye) is a man of God that He has sent to achieve some purposes and God has been using Him since the 70s. where it not for the Grace and love God gave him to preach and his obedience to the call of God, holiness preaching might not have a public footage in this country or Africa at large. so anyone might be call of God again for another mission. so it could be among the Generals in Deeper Life. Therefore dont border yourself about who is leaving or comming. Lets be careful. for Jesus Said "every idle word that proceed from man shall he give account of on the Judgement Day.

Mr Poster I join the voices that acquise that Kumuyi is a genuine man of God. If you want to write a book on Deeper Life, why are you looking for the negative part. You better report the miracles of changed lives that happened there. The ministry has had tremendous impact in so many other ministries. I am not in Deeper Life and may not agree with some of their philosophies, but one thing I do believe and know for sure is that Kumuyi is genuine, he didnt set up any rules to exploit people. even the things I personally don't agree with was done from a genuine heart. People going from to Deeper Life to start a church have many reasons behind it. They may be genuinely called of God to start something different. They may not agree with some practices of the church and there is nothing wrong with them leaving and starting than in remaining in a system and disagreeing with that system. In the bible, Paul had issues with Barnabas and they separated. Its human nature, we rae not perfect beings. Only Jesus was perfect. And mind you the perfect Jesus left Judaism to start something from God, not because they were not taking care of him as you said of Oyedepo. We are all going to stand in the judgement sit of Christ. God will judge every man's motive for leaving, not you or nairalanders. I know a lot about Nigerian pastors and history, and if you would want to get genuine update write me ajoguegbe@yahoo.com, you can also follow the NIGERIA GOD'S GENERAL on facebook.http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.117107168321000.11289.117103751654675&type=3 God Bless you |

I have read the reactions following my post on the subject above, I must confess it is so thrilling to hear some good response from intelligent Niaralanders, I wrote this without prejudice, fully aware of God’s unquestionable dealings. Reading some mature respondent here has added more knowledge to me and I really appreciate you guys, I am not unaware of some folks who hide behind the keyboard to run people down without any provocation, such should just learn the maturity in handling, if I propose a book and I seek opinion, it does not I think warrant abuse and insult on my person, though I can understand what is lacking in such response. They were not really groomed to know how to neutrally address issues like Eben 2, Joagbaje my good friend, like OLAADEGBU, like DAVIDSEED, AJOGUEGBE, BERETHA92, I have formed my opinion and I will discontinue the book which is half way written while looking forward to additions from better minds mentioned above. |

Discussing those that left Deeper Life Bible Church is really not a sin. However it may be a waste of time if not well moderated. God never said everybody must belong to a denomination! When a man says he is called of God, we cannot fault him since God did not speak to us on such a person's behalf. Imagine everybody belonging to a single denomination! Such a congregation will sooner than later become a cult. On to he issue of why they left or are leaving, only God can judge that. However, I want to hazard one or two guesses: 1. They may have left due to better understanding of scriptures which the church may find difficult to adjust to due to long time adjustment to error. 2. Don't forget that we sometimes judge people because they aren't doing things the way we do them as if our is the one ordained by God(without scriptural support anyway). As we judge people like that, we alienate those we see as unbelievers. This alienation may have been frustrating some leaders in the sense that as they work to evangelise their communities, their efforts are largely wasted because those preached to are already biased against the church due to their holier-than-thou attitude. So why wait where non-essential are taken as the major. Why stay where a church is run in a way that members have no right to challenge long time beliefs which are obviously wrong! This is the problem of religion and pride! 3. God may have truly called some of those who left. Of course they will suffer persecution for leaving. They are usually labelled as backsliding, rebels,etc. Indeed, to some of the members, leaving deeperlife is like leaving God as if deeperlife is the only gateway to heaven! As is their standard is the one ordained by God even when it is obviously an error. 4. Some leave just to be able to worship God freely without the addition of human traditions. Deeper life is a church that has a lot of human traditions which have confused even her own members not to talk of outsiders who would have joined them but for the fact that they haven't got reasonable and scriptural explanations for traditions which have become the standard used to judge 'unbelievers' 5. Some leave because they see that church as a breeding ground for hypocrites. Of course hypocrites will not make heaven. A lot of atrocities could be committed without many noticing because the outward appearance is deceptive enough! The heart of man is desperately wicked... many. More reasons but I stop here for now. |

Jettage: Do you Know of any other Church in Nigeria that lost most of her members like Deeper Life Bible Church?@ poster. What is your motive for the book u want to write. Will it be for the glory of God or just an academic exercise or for commercial purposes. Some of the things u wrote about the Nigerian pastors and their relationship with Deeper Life is not true. Some were never member of the group. I will like you to know that many people had done many researches on the group for Ph D, masters and other academic papers. I know of a Briton who went around different part of Nigeria to write a book on the church in early 1990s. He was around for about six months. Get these materials from the church or even google for them and u are good to go. Don't depend on NL half truths. Take care |

I went to deeper life of recent. Because of the nature of the way i came, i couldnt carry my bible ofcourse to the church. You needed to see the way a security personnel condemned me "FROM THE GATE" fa. I felt like i was not welcomed sef. Even when i told him i wasnt from the church sef, the way he reacted was rather more annoying. Hmmmmm na wa. I could not just cry. Through out my stay in the church that day, i was not really myself. I wasnt really paying atttention. I dont think i'll attend that church again o GOD's grace. AMEN. Deeper life is a good church. One of the best churches (i love this church because holiness is been preached) . Pastor kumuyi is a good man that i know of but please, some protocols should learn how to correct people "IN LOVE" and NOT CONDEMN people abeg. Just imagine somebody that doesnt know you before telling you Him: "you no dey, carry bible come church? na which district you comot from sef" then you: i'm not from deeper life Him: ok, where you dey stay sef? (Is it Lekki, ajah, ekpe for example o) You: lekki Him: ok (that type of ok na abi?)? I have associated with deeper life, but this big district was a "WOW" for me 1 Like |

I love this thread. I stumbled on it via search for some pastors who left. I see that some pastors left to go and start their own ministries because they do not want to be disciplined or assume they have arrived. When we are looking for job, we determine that even if they ask us to sleep in the office working for a week we will do it. The moment we get the job we start seeing where director have gone wrong in asking us to stay and work extra hour or so. I see and observe that the people who left Deeper Life do not command as much respect that they commanded when they were still with Deeper Life. As a pastor in Deeper Life in a state or Lagos do you know how many people you will reach out to if given the opportunity to minister at a singular retreat programme, etc. For Deeper Lifers still inside, we have more opportunities to serve God if we remain inside. For those who have left, shame of what people will say prevents them from returning. So many God's generals in Deeper Life sir. 1 Like 1 Share |
