John Kumuyi, one of the sons of the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, and his now-wife, Love, were suspended by the leadership of the aforementioned church and banned from carrying out any activity in this church. The decision is grounded by the recent controversy over the couple’s wedding in Jamaica.

It would be recalled that John and Love wedded in Jamaica on 15 June, 2013, only toreceive thousands negative comments from members of the church. Many condemned the wedding gown worn by the wife-to be, also other aspects of the wedding that were at variance with the church’s standards.
Love’s attires turned out to differ from the conventional ones set for Deeper Life members. Lots of people noticed her hair wasn’t “natural” and that she applied lipstick as part of the make-up.

A limousine hired to deliver the couple
to their destination after the wedding, a huge cake that was served at the ceremony were contraryto the church’s tradition.
The church leaders decided to place the coupleon suspension to give them time to pray and seek forgiveness from God for theiraction, following countless comments on social media and by the members of Deeper Life.

John and Love’s suspension from church activities was announced last Saturday, at Deeper Life’s monthly Miracle and Revival Programme, held at the Deeper Life Conference Centre (DLCC), Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The news was delivered by PastorPhilip Oluwi, a key leader in the church, who obviously was following the instructions from the General Superintendent of the church, Pastor WilliamKumuyi. Oluwi stressed that thestandard of Deeper Life regarding wedding and moderacy had not changed.
“The church, Deeper Life, remains committed to the biblical practice and standard of almost 40 years Christian dressing and still remains and does not compromise on biblical Christian dressing.

“Hence, deviation warrants the displeasure and frown of God and the leadership of the church. John and Love are now under discipline,” Oluwi announced to the entire congregation.

The couple has already apologised to the church for the inappropriate way the wedding was conducted. The letter was readby Oluwi and re-read several times to churchmembers by the Church’s Secretary, Pastor Jerry Asemota. The letter, addressed to the Church Secretary and titled ‘Letter of Apology,’ expressed the deepest regret of the couple for bringing the church into disrepute.

Moreover, further investigation has revealed that John and Love’s wedding was not conducted in a Deeper Life Bible Church. It wasalso not conducted by pastors from the church, as Deeper Life Bible Church in Jamaica has not been licensed by the country’s government to join couples in wedlock, according to the laws of Jamaica.

The wedding was taken to another church where the ministers in the unnamed church conducted the wedding and joined them in holy matrimony.
Deeper Life leaders that came from Nigeria were said to have disapproved of the earlier gown Love was to wear for the wedding, while another was hurriedly sewed the night before the wedding.

Church leaders were said not to have seen the new dress until the couple was marchinginto the church and by then, it was too late to take any action as the wedding was not conducted in a deeper life church

honestly things like this suprises me.like my pastor will say start where the bible starts and stop where the bible stops.if you as a christian irrespective of denomination reads your bible well you will not be easily moved by hypocritical man made laws and doctrines.please where in the bible did God say you should not wear lipstick or make your hair look good or wear a particular kind of wedding gown.if there is anything to go by,the bible emphasized on modesty and placing more emphasis on internal beauty and grace.you can look good with a beautiful wedding gown,right make up in simplicity and class,right hair and still be modest and as for jwelries let them continue deceiving themselves.the private jet or commercial plane that their members enter,no be steel they take make am,some of the architectural design,no be steel,some bibles,no be steel.abi where in the bible did jesus state categorically that thou shall not wear earing and necklace.smh

When a person is delusional,it is called Insanity
when people are delusional,it is called religion

What's the meaning of all this? Must they show themselvs this way? Does this make them perfectly holy in the sight of the lord? I mean liars, fornicators/adulterers, thieves and so many other sinful humans are among members of this congregation and yet they act holier than thou. Why dont they remove th scar from thier own eyes first?

they are taking this thing too far jare.
I'm getting bored already
