Drama As Deeper Life Church Pastor Dumps Ministry. by ADEsaint89: 3:27pm On Sep 14, 2023
Deeper Life pastor has dumped his ministry over Kumuyi’s support for Tinubu.
News ToGo reports that Ogueze Venitius Chinyerugo, a pastor of the Deeper Life Bible Church located on Nnobi Road in Nnewi, Anambra State, has tendered his resignation from his role as district pastor of the church. This decision is a result of what he perceives as the general superintendent and church head, William Kumuyi, endorsing President Bola Tinubu’s government, as evidenced by recent comments regarding the administration.

In a letter dated August 23, 2023, Chinyerugo expressed his deep concerns and announced his resignation due to a viral video in which the church’s general superintendent ventured into politics by expressing support for the Tinubu administration, which Chinyerugo believed had caused hardships for Nigerians.

Chinyerugo’s resignation letter, addressed to the regional overseer of the Deeper Life Bible Church, explained his decision. He mentioned feeling devastated, humiliated, and disappointed after witnessing the video where Kumuyi urged Nigerians to support the government and its ministers based on their alleged past performance.

He highlighted that Kumuyi’s past teachings had emphasized staying clear of political matters, and his recent involvement in endorsing the current administration contradicted those principles. Chinyerugo pointed out that Kumuyi had also made a controversial visit to then-President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Furthermore, Chinyerugo questioned the moral basis for the administration to fight corruption and the quality of the ministers in the government. He expressed his disappointment and concern for the church’s reputation in the face of public criticism.

Chinyerugo concluded by emphasizing the need for leaders to be righteous and God-fearing, as outlined in 2 Samuel 23:3. He suggested that supporting leaders should be conditional on their righteousness and a legitimate mandate, rather than mere prayers for their transformation.

He stated his intention to share this message through social media channels if it doesn’t reach Kumuyi through official channels, unless Kumuyi addresses the concerns raised.

Chinyerugo’s resignation reflects his personal beliefs and convictions regarding the church’s stance on political matters and its alignment with specific political figures and administrations.

But Chinyerugo, you chose to make a god of Kumuyi — you chose of your own volition to worship a mere man instead of God. So why are you shocked that Kumuyi turned out to be only human and nothing more? undecided

But there is politics in Warwick

If you're not stupid is the apostles a political group?
Are they ruling over faithless miscreants like you?
The Deeperlifer is right because whatever the politicians decides will affect him and others whether believer or unbeliever as long as they are living within Nigeria but the group in Warwick only supervises the activities of those having the same beliefs like them just as the apostles were supervising all faithful servants of God in the first century. Act 2:42; Hebrews 13:7, 17

So if Kumuyi is supporting Tinubu the ibo man (Deeperlifer) will feel this has to do with tribe and not the goodwill of Nigeria.

That's why real Jesus' disciples don't participate in worldly politics! John 17:16

Even though I have not read the whole story, I totally support him. Tinubu played a Muslim -Muslim ticket, it makes it look like he doesn't bother how the Christians feel. So this man is totally correct. It is a big pity that Kumuyi would support a Muslim Muslim ticket. Leadership in Nigeria is supposed to be fair and impartial.

Chinyerugo’s resignation reflects his personal beliefs and convictions regarding the church’s stance on political matters and its alignment with specific political figures and administrations.

Regarding worldly politics Jesus said about his real disciples:

They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. John 17:16

Why?

Because Jesus' disciples have their own ORGANIZATION, RULES and STANDARD that all his followers stick to {John 17:15-19} because of this they all have the same line of thought {John 17:22} regarding the only solution to mankind's problem and that is God's kingdom which he taught them to continue praying for! Matthew 6:10

So nothing can break their bond unless some choose to disown the faith in God's kingdom which they're to continue preaching JEALOUSY! Matthew 10:7 smiley

The group name "CHRISTIANS" was used to mock God's servants in the first century but the disciples joyfully welcome the new development {Act 11:26} the group name turn out to become a CURSE when politicians began claiming they're believers in Christ Jesus who taught his own disciples never to be part of worldly politics {John 17:16} that's what Jesus revealed to apostle John regarding a prostitute {Revelations 17:5} who was having affairs with the kings of the earth {Revelations 17:4} this has led to the spilling the blood of many innocent people! Revelations 17:6

The purpose of Christianity is to unite believers throughout the earth so that they can form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} under the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} but since Satan has planted his agents among true believers in the first century {Matthew 13:25} Jesus allowed both to continue growing until the harvest {Matthew 13:30} that's why God hid the group name He wanted to give His true worshipers until this time when the chasm between us and worldly politicians claiming believers has become so deep {Luke 16:26} and God began to call us by another group name JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

So Emusan you can continue arguing, abusing, cursing, fighting and killing one another over worldly politics {Revelations 6:3-4} Jesus has separated his own people from among faithless miscreants {Revelations 18:4} that's why everyone on this planet keep saying about Jesus' real disciples:

"They have LOVE among themselves" John 13:34-35 compare to 1John 4:7-8
