The Deeper Life Church who maintained that they are purely faith-based organization and would in no way support political parties, has warned its members against dragging the church into politics.


The State Overseer of the Deeper Life Church in Niger State, Pastor Toyin Araromi who spoke to a NAN correspondent, said the church does not involve itself in politics. Commenting on the recent visit of Pastor Kumuyi to President Buhari, he said the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry Worldwide was only honoring an invitation.

“Our General Superintendent was invited to minister at the Independent Day celebration and he honoured the invitation.

“He also had the honour of visiting Mr. President in his ministerial capacity. All that he did is what a godly leader should do.

“Recently too, on October 7, the Lagos State Government organised its own form of the 58th Independence celebration at the Deeper Life headquarters in Gbagada, Lagos, which was attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and other dignitaries.

“According to the Bible, we should give honour to whom honour is due and we are giving honour to whom honour is due.

“We are not members of any political organisation. Deeper Life is neutral. We encourage our members to pray for whosoever is on the throne instead of criticising the government, because it is scriptural to do so" he said.

Nigerians read religious, ethnic and political meanings to any issue

Na gbege

Religious leaders don't involve in politics they only honour invitations. Same way oyedepo honored the invitation to make peace between atiku and obassanjo.
Same way Osibanjo honored the invitation to serve his country as VP and not speak when people are killed.he is not a politician only an invitee

Hypocrisy looming everywhere

Okay

Well said, the Bible said "follow peace with all men" "give honour to whom it's due".

Church re falseChurch re falseChurch re false

izzou:

Wat is it?

Sad

Quite sad and tragic

While the terrorists in power are busy decimating Christians and taking over their lands in kaduna and all over the middle belt...

Some churches remain quiet...
Raising your voice against tyranny and wickedness is not politicking... Condemn evil when necessary..

It's sad that these same people find their voices once daddy freeze talks ill of tithes and offerings..

Buhari is evil... His jihadist plans are clear for the blind to see..

When your GO showed open support to the lifeless

Non of my business
Just like Politrickcians,90% of Religious leaders in Nigeria are nothing but hypocritical jokers as far as I'm concerned.

dats good

Correct

Let him visit Atiku as well

no one will leave aso rock without Ghana must go or envelop

But wait sef...

Generally speaking, why do church people see politics as evil?

The Bible is full of political figures (kings)

If we Christians feel that politics is evil, then it's because the good people have refused to contest. Should we run away from politics because there are many bad people in it?

When those bad people take up these positions and start making laws against Christians now, we will run to church to go and pray.

There is nothing wrong in having Christians in politics. We have been blackmailed and deceived to believe otherwise.

Let's not forget, when the righteous is in power, the people rejoice...

Ok

When did that start?

If some #thermometers use #alcohol and still give #accurate readings; then don't ignore the opinion of a #drunkard!... Why is my church mingling with politics...

The two major problems in Nigeria are politic and religion.

The leaders of these two spheres are getting richer while their followers are getting poorer.

izzou:


Hope your members in Imo are praying for Okorocha?

Hope your members in Kogi are praying for Bello?

Hope your members in Abia and Bayelsa are praying for Ikpeazu and Dickson?

You better start advising them to criticize and vote out any eediot that doesn't want the prosperity of the land.

well said sir

Tell that to your GO who visited Buhari with his wife and smiled in approval.

Who cares

.

Look into what the General Overseer said to the President, he was sending a coded message to him, can't you guys see what is happening everywhere? settle down look through those lines. He that has an ear let him hear, one thing is certain, darkness has to leave this our beloved Nigeria!!!

let's hope so

Only ignorant people will think Deeper Life or Pastor Kumuyi will involve themselves in partisan politics or endorsement of candidates.

I can say for free that Deeper Life does not believe in politicking, the church don't even encourage at all.
