See your mouth like they were disciplined. Why did they wed them in the first place? Why didn’t they cancel it like they did this one?

Almost resigned my Nyash. It’s really a pity that these men f00l y’all like this. It’s a shame actually.

We agree it's a sin,,,,, does it mean they can't be forgiven,,, what difference does it make now,,,, some times it's very important some Bible verses and church doctrines are interpreted well...

THE DEEPER LIFE CHURCH HAVE ACTED ULTRA VIRES (BIBLICALLY) AS FAR AS GOD AND HIS WORD IS CONCERNED. 2ND JOHN VS 9.

REAL MARRIAGE IS CONTRACTED WHEN TWO PERSONS OF OPPOSITE SEX AGREE TO MARRY EACH OTHER.
CHURCH WISE, THE FAMILIES OF EACH PARTY TO THIS UNION NEEDS TO GIVE THEIR SUPPORT AND BLESSING TO THE MARRIAGE.

IF THE ARRANGEMENT CULMINATE TO THE POINT WHERE MARITAL RIGHTS (DOWRY) IS FIXED (WHETHER PAID INSTANTLY, PARTLY OR AGREED TO BE PAID IN A FUTURE DATE), THEN MARRIAGE IS ESTABLISHED.

NOTE:
FROM WHAT I PUT UP ABOVE, MARRIAGE CAN BE COTRACTED WITHOUT INVOLVING THE CHURCH, OR, THE CHURCH CAN AT MOST BE A WITNESS TO THE PROCESS, WHERE THE PARTIES DEEM IT FIT TO INVOLVE OR INVITE THEIR CHURCH TO WITNESS IT.

NOW, WHEN THE MARRIAGE IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED, THE PARTIES MAY WISH TO GO FOR CHURCH CELEBRATION, OTHERWISE CALLED WEDDING.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE CHURCHES HAVE AROGATED TO THEMSELVES, THE POWER TO JOIN PEOPLE IN MARRIAGE, BUT ITS WRONG.

THIS MATTER IS FUNDAMENTAL, SUCH THAT I WILL WANT TO AS ANY PERSON DISPUTING MY POSITION: IF YOU THINK THAT UNLESS A CHURCH "JOIN COUPLES IN MARRIAGE, THEIR MARRIAGE IS VOID" THEN TELL ME IF THE MARRIAGES THAT PRODUCED PEOPLE LIKE W.F.KUMUYI, AND OTHER RESPECTABLE NIGERIAN ARE VOID?

BECAUSE, MANY CHURCH "FOUNDERS'" PARENTS WEREN'T JOINED IN MARRIAGE BY A CHURCH, BUT TRADITIONALLY AND I TELL YOU AUTHORITATIVELY, THAT SUCH MARRIAGES ARE VALID.

IN THE BIBLE, WHICH THE DEEPER LIFE SHOULD HOLD TIGHT, THE OLD TESTAMENT REMAINS THE PLACE TO LOOK FOR HOW MARRIAGE IS ENTERED INTO. THE NEW TESTAMENT ISNT SUFFICIENTLY GUIDING CHRISTIANS ON "HOW", THUS PEOPLE STILL RELY ON OLD TESTAMENT.

THE NECESSARY INFERENCE IS: IF GOD, WHOSE BRAIN CHILD IS THE BIBLE HAD WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT ENTIRELY FROM THE PRACTICE IN OLD TESTAMENT, HE, WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF PEACE (not of confusion) WOULD HAVE MADE A DISTINCT PROVISION.

I WISH TO SAY THAT CHURCH MARRIAGE IS NOT GOD-COMMANDED MARRIAGE BUT A QUICK FIX BY THOSE WHO THOUGHT THERE IS A LACUNA IN THE SCRIPTURES WITH REGARDS TO MARRIAGE.

UNFORTUNATELY, CHURCH MARRIAGE AND COURT MARRIAGE ARE THE SAME THING AND ARE BORROWED ENHLISH CULTURE/PRACTICE ON MARRIAGE, NOTHING MORE.

TODAY, ANY CHURCH MARRIAGE OR COURT MARRIAGE THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE ENGLISH " MARRIAGE ACT" REMAINS VOIDABLE AND WILL BE DECLARED VOID IN AN EVENT WHERE IT IS BROUGHT BEFORE A COMPETENT COURT OF JURISDICTION.

BUT A CUSTOMARY MARRIAGE JUST NEED TO CONFORM TO THE PRACTICE AND CUSTOMS OF THEIR PEOPLE TO BE VALID AND ITS NOT DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO CONFORM TO THE CUSTOM OF THEIR OWN POEPLE.

I HEREBY HUMBLY ASSERT THAT IF THE PARTIES TO THE MARRIAGE WHICH DEEPER LIFE REFUSED TO CELEBRATE IN BAYELSA HAVE CONDUCTED THEIR MARTIAGE IN LINE WIRH THEIR LOCAL CUSTOM AND PRACTICE, THEY ALREADY HAVE A VALID MARRIAGE.

IT FOLLOWS THEREFORE THAT WHERE THEY ALREADY HAVE A VALID MARRIAGE, THAT DEEPER LIFE REFUSED TO GIVE THE "CHURCH BLESSING" BEING SOUGHT IS NOT A BIG ISSUE. LET THE COUPLE BE HAPPY, THEY ARE MARRIED WITH OR WITHOUT CHURCH BLESSING.

Hotsparkles:
exactly my thought

Rock89:
Its better you keep calm and quiet when you don't have words to say. Try to processed wat is whatever is being said on the social media before you talk.

glowingflame7:


That's the point. If pastor Kumuyi didn't "spoil their day" but waited till after the wedding to act, even taking pictures with them, then the other leaders can learn from that.

Her father is a pastor at deeper life so she doesn't have a choice

Kelvin30286063:

The wedding was great, a normal deeper life wedding. The wife was not allowed to use any form of make up. Not even powder. (sadly, she's my cousin)
Everything went smooth at the church until we got to reception.
The family already hired professional musicians to sing at the reception but the church asked them not to play and the church choirs started singing praise for the wife to dance in. She refused to come in and started crying.

PapaNnamdi:


u mean Anglican girls are oshofree??

Adakintroy:
If you check it's the poor once in the church they use to enforce holy laws. The rich don't get this form of treatment.

"Poverty makes it look like laws of societies are working"

mechanics:
They caused it themselves, they knew the truth but refused to obey the truth.

nnaeyes6:
If they have done traditional marriage (which is the actual marriage) and court marriage why wasting ur energy white white imported wedding.?
What is the holiness there when parents have handed their child to u with their blessings on it?

Nija and inferiority ignoramus religious capitalism.

Please i give u ten days to impregnant ur wife man.

Hayelomo:
If they have been pardoned for the first offence, the fact then remains that their marriage was suspended for the second offence. But is this second offence really worth it?

Even the old testament laws and ordinances of Moses with all its emphasis on external rules cannot forbid that engaged/courting couples should not eat from the same plate.

I stand for holiness and against immorality, but the church should watch her legalistic tendencies.

babyfaceafrica:
you mean Anglicans support fornication?..hmm

killsmith:
Just imagine that kind nonsense.

For person wedding, choir go dey sing TRUST AND OBEY, FOR THERE'S NO OTHER WAY

Samunique:


Chaiiii

santafe:


What truth. You have been brainwashed if you think that has anything to do with truth.

killsmith:
Brother, E make sense?


For person wedding, them go dey sing. "SINCE I WAS BORN, BUT NOW I AM GETTING OLD"

UceeGod:
If they truly got involved in any immorality, then the suspension of their wedding is very good. Worldliness shouldn't be tolerated in the church.

BTW what does Kumuyi's statement about Buhari has to do with this issue?

santafe:


GBAM! They are already married na. Why subject themselves to the dumb marriage committee .
