Pastor Kumuyi Condemns Spending So Much On Church Buildings While Needy Members Are Suffering

Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, the leader of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, spoke out against spending too much on church buildings while members in need are suffering.

In a message called "Emmanuel, Jesus The Healer," he said, "The church has no excuse, spending so much money on structures while needy members are suffering and dying."

He pointed out a stark reality, saying, "Some believers have too much to eat while some have nothing to eat, and we think giving to God is all about giving for church building projects, while some believers are starving around us."

Pastor Kumuyi emphasized the need to "Build Lives, Not just buildings that will not be raptured when Christ Comes."

He then encouraged believers to "Be charitable as you celebrate Emmanuel, the Reason for the Season." So this emphasizes the importance of focusing on the well-being of fellow believers rather than extravagant church constructions.

However, Pastor Kumuyi's words serve as a reminder that the essence of giving goes beyond physical structures, calling for a more compassionate and caring approach within the faith community.

The best Christian believers are those christians of the Early Church. Christianity today is too materialistic.

The reason people embrace poverty is partly down to interpretations like Kumuyi's.

What people need is things and things don't fall from heaven. Focusing on the paper printed to aid/facilitate the exchange of things(love of money) above getting things done is the root cause of so many evil.

The needy refers to people not in position to help themselves and not able bodied adults who specialize in highlighting their wants and respomsibilities as needs.

Yes, he has a point there but one thing I notice about these so called men of God is that they enjoy preaching what they don't practice, you need to see Deeper Life head quaters in Lagos, it is a city. I have stopped taking these men seriously.

Jesus christ was invented by the Roman empire.

The true Traditional religion God gave the Jews is Judaism.

The whole Jesus christ story was a Roman empire invention, that's why the Jews cannot be deceived. It's like saying Jesus was a yoruba man born of a yoruba virgin during the European occupation and the yorubas are saying his is not our Messiah promised in the Old Testament but the Europeans during the occupation are saying his is the messiah of the yorubas! cheesy

The records the Jews have is that a Roman soldier was the father of your Jesus christ!
