Nosayer:


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.

worshipping God is a serious activity not a musical concert.

which of the IT skills to be precise?

Thinktwicemybro:

The problem here is that your church spent years condemning other ministries instead of preaching Jesus. They created thousands of doctrines that were not biblical. They forgot John 3:17.
Today they are reaping what that sow.
Personally for me I can't go to a boring church, in God's presence there should be joy. Do you know it's like a crime to speak in tongues in your church? If you speak in tongues the other bethrens will be looking like you as if you just murdered someone.

Nezzjnr:

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.

Nezzjnr:


That's the thing... But if you speak out against all these happenings... People will be quick to call you an agent of the Devil.

It's high time people turn to God alone because if people start to dey look all these pastors ehn.... It won't be nice at all

sisisioge:


What's your point bro Arindin?

Jackbaur88:
He is a rebel for speaking against his leader in that manner. The same non scriptural doctrines that drove many youths away from the faith and the church is the same non scriptural doctrines that Baba is removing. If you are not okay with the changes happening in Deeper life church now, you better move out.
We have a lot of hypocrites who are devils inward but appearing like angels outside. Most of these people when you go close to them have nothing to right home about

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"

paxonel:
so, you expected Kumuyi to address him as worldy musical bassey?

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.

Lighthouse50:
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

redeff06:


Were the old hymns you are singing not composed by human? Must all Gospel songs be Hymn song? What if God decided to use people of our generation (like Nathaniel Bassey, Don Moen etc) to compose new songs, will that be unholy? As it is written "Sing unto him a NEW song; play skilfully with a loud noise."- Psalm 33:3

masui:


People will turn to God but they need directions, spiritual role models, people with exemplary lifestyles. You see this present Nigerian society worships money and you know well say devil too has means of making people stinkingly rich.
Why do you think Nigerian churches easily gives out post of elders and pastors to people with money especially political appointess and business men? They don't want to know the source of the money.

Why do you think people collect various amounts of money ranging from 5k to 2k to 1k to sell their vote for 4 years.

Our moral consciousness as a society is dead and our present spiritual leaders have not been helping matters.

I can't come for you ..neva
Haba

It all about understanding

But can i ask u one question sir

If those our hymns were not composed by those british Anglicans and americans

Then we wont sing atall in the church right?

Lols ....the fact remain the same

The introduction of the music is welcoming
What could only be said is that

The world is dangerous ..the musics and musician should be careful considers

Those that will have issue now are majorly long time deeperlife members

Long as in( 20 to 30 yrs)
Cux here o for campus church...

We dey hear those song well well

Nduway:
The problem with people like you, who hold on to the form of Godliness but deny the power therefore, is that when the HolyGhost births a new move you will be nowhere to be found because you have been bound by systems and doctrine of men which have zero simlitude to the doctrines of Christ. These so called "worldly rock star musician" were birthed by the HolyGhost to stir through songs the heart of believers to the possibilities of God. Break free from the shackles of religion and embrace the end time revival. The Church of Christ is Uniting and self righteous religious individuals will not stop her. The worst kind of bondage is the religious bondage, it kills the move of God in its infancy.

emmeyen:
Main reason why you should follow God and not man because man will definitely derail as a result of the fallibility of the human nature. Funny enough a lot of the members don't even have an understanding of why certain doctrines were laid in the church. They just swallow it without even praying about them and asking God for confirmation. Just recently [b]God had opened my eyes to see that a lot of these songs we sing are not accepted as a lot of the composers are just fame seekers and noise makers. L[/b]ook up to Jesus who is the author and finisher of your faith and not man. Simple!

paxonel:
Oga, if you nor like am leave the church go and start ya own church jo!

Na by force?

See your unconventional yahoo type of eye glass, we never saw this type of eye glass in deeper life before

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

Don Moen, nathaniel bassey ??

If church don tire am .make e get out now

Shey dem wan kill youth for church ni

Before na dressing code, hairstyles
Now music again...na wa o

If e no be.....boyz go japa soon like this..no cap

What could be suggested is that

The music should careful considered b4 introduction

I go church say make i worship...u go dey play one kind 17th century gbedu...wey gospel singers full naija and abroad
