GoodMuyis:
The one you talked to are they married? Or being to marriage committee before. People make a lot of speculation that are not true.

The standard is *not exposing the body* especially the burst, Don't overspend if you can't afford.

Didn't you see Biafrabushman recently posted pictures of his sister's deeper life wedding.They took pictures outside because apparently she violated the church rules by changing into a modern wedding dress.She obviously couldn't wear they dress to the church, decent as it was.Don't you remember that Kumuyi's son had been excommunicated from the church by his fathrr because of how his wife dressed on their wedding day? She had a beautiful modest wedding dress which wasn't exposing anything but it was obviously unholy for that church.He later had to write an apology letter to the church & was accepted back.But I remember his wife wore Makeup even at their traditional wedding.

Makuos:
So if Jesus was in your shoe He will spend so much on something that He will not even wear again after one day Are you really sure you are a Christian(Christ like) I pray you will not realize too late!!!

As I said, you are not God.So leave my Chrisnity out of the equation.Stop being judgmental & as I told you earlier, Heaven will be full of surprises to see the ones considered unqualified, welcomed in the kingdom.The thief on the cross next to Jesus didn't seem like he was a likely candidate but there on the cross, He obtained mercy!

Makuos:
Is it all modern wedding dresses that are decent Something that looks decent to you might not look decent to God!!! Your comments already tells me the kind of person u are!

Besides, the groom wears a suit and continues to wear it after the wedding. However, the bride spends a lot of money on the gown and cannot wear it again....What is the moral or economic justification for that? Is it not to satisfy the iniquitous desire to be like the world? Can she not wear a gown she can wear publicly after the wedding? Did God not warn His Children not to follow the world in its madness and folly(John 2:15-17)?

Nawa ohh, so even if you have the money you shouldn't spend it in order not to seem worldly? And you already know the kind of person I am? Na wa ohh.They've succeeded in brainwashing you.But let me tell you something.Judgement day will be full of surprises.Those who thought they'd be 1st, will be surprised to see they didn't make into heaven.Those who were condemned by men, they might be the 1st on the list of heaven.Stop trying to wear God's shoes trying to play judge over people.His shoes are too big for you!

GoodMuyis:
Sometime for economic reasons, just buy and sew it
Sometimes bad or inexperienced tailor. Some members feel like giving the job to ordinary tailor.

I have seen many none DLBC members who wore poorly designed wedding gown.

Buying is not a good idea since most of then have too much opened neck

There are decent beautiful wedding dresses out there.I've heard from a deeper life attendee that modern wedding dresses are not allowed which to me sounds like bull crap.Until when will people continue to be held down by some man-made rules?

Makuos:
That passage is talking about other maidens that came to meet the king. Now see the turn of Esther in Esther 2:15.

Besides, why are u using Esther, is Esther your example or Jesus is suppose to be your example If you follow Esther you can miss heaven, but if you follow Christ u can never miss heaven!!!

We are commanded to follow after the footstep of Jesus....Jesus had "no beauty" that people in the world would desire Him when He walked upon this earth(Isaiah 53:2)....that is the example we should follow! I pray you realize this now before it will too late for you!!!

LOL, where did Christ tell people not to use jewelry?Is Esther also not in the Bible?

Makuos:
You are beating about the bush! Show me the different bible versions that says Esther adorned herself with makeup or jewelry before seeing the King Besides, God made gold for practical uses and not for adornment. When the Israelite left Egypt, the gold/silver they collected serve as a money for their long time slavery to the Egyptians, they didn't collect it for fashion/adornment. That's why when it was required later time in the wilderness for the construction of the terbanacle and for other needs, they all gave willingly. Read your bible with an open mind!!!

So part one uses the word adorn & part 2 , jewelry is mentioned.

asuustrike2009:
But it's the truth.

Whet is the truth?

Makuos:
Where did God tell the Israelite women to wear jewelry and where are they going to wear the jewelry In that Esther 2:12 am yet to see where Esther adorned herself with makeup or jewelry before seeing the King

Besides, I don't care if u came from the moon. The word of God is applicable anywhere!

Some Bible version says in Esther 2:13 that she adorned herself with jewelry.Go compare the different versions.I did not say that God told the Israelites to adorn themselves, but if He had a problem with the women's jewelry, don't you think He'd have addressed the issue?Even when they left Egypt, the gold of their enemies & jewelry were some things they took from the Egyptians as payback for their years in slavery.Why didn't God tell them not to?

Makuos:
When you wear makeup, are you different from those in the Club house, Nollywood and Brothel And did God opened your ears to wear jewelry/earring or what's the purpose of wearing jewelry?

Besides, where did Esther adorned and bathed with perfume before going to see the king

What's wrong with those in Nollywood?See am not from Nigeria so please tell me more.If God found a problem with jewelry, he'd have told the Israelite women not to wear it. As for Esther, Esther 2:12.

When did Sonnie Badu become a Nigerian? Thought he is Ghanaian.

asuustrike2009:
Hair extension is unholy. 1Tim 2:9 "Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments". For make up the only woman who wore make up was Jezebel ( 2 king 9:30)
The Bible made it clear in Romans 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect". It's not the will of God that Christians should copy the world system because the same Bible say in James 4:4 "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God"

This was told specifically to the women in Ephesus because they were in the habit of showing off and were encouraged to be quiet in public gatherings because of their behavior.So women don't stand on the pulpit in deeper life?The devil is a liar!Just because Jezebel an evil woman wore makeup, that doesn't turn makeup evil.Otherwise jewelry have been there for a long time even in the days of Moses.Esther was adorned & bathed in perfume before going to see the king.Is perfume/deodorant also considered unholy?I am glad Christ came to set us free from becoming slaves to men & man-made doctrines.By the way if you think salvation is earned by dressing a certain way, know those are works & the Bible is clear that salvation is by grace & not works lest any man should boast.You cannot keep the law.You'll keep some & break others!But as they say, to each his own.

BiafranBushBoy:
Ma'am, anybody can come to church. But not everyone believes in the gospel of salvation.

I am not trying to discriminate, but we also have theives in deeper life.

So those you call Deeperlife girls with extensions on their hair,

You can also ask Moses in the bible about the Mixed Multitude.

So hair extensions, modern wedding dresses & makeup are considered unholy in deeper life?Even suits and ties should be unholy also.It's some kind of discrimination against women.

BiafranBushBoy:
Modern dressing varies. If you expect them to dress like Adesuwa and Tonto Dike did, sorry it is not allowed.

Most times, pastors can have a tough stance on dressing, but I guess they are being over strict.

If you can't keep up with the requirements, you can equally marry outside the church and come back after marriage. No one is caged per say.

Adesuwa's wedding dress was beautiful.But even at that, there are long-sleeved wedding dresses which don't expose clravage and aren't tight but are beautiful.I mean a bride should look good on her day.One can't do that day over again.I see their brides dressed like some nuns.Seems even natural looking makeup is prohibited or even hair extensions, but yet I've seen deeper life girls in braided extensions.So they can put extensions on other days but not on their wedding day?

BiafraBushBoy:
I saw a thread hit frontpage https://www.nairaland.com/4062678/deeper-life-bible-church-cult#60584621 and I decided to write this.

I have known Deeper Life Bible Church, and it is over twenty years. Tho I don’t often attend church services that much due to hustle on Sunday, but I have some Facts to make known to make.

Do you want to hear things that people won’t tell you about deeper life bible church? Sit tight and listen.

Pastor W.F. Kumuyi has corrected some of his mistakes in the past as regards doctrine

In a bid to maintain strict discipline during the early days of the church, a lot of strict doctrines were introduced. These doctrines didn’t come with consequences like people portrayed, but were just preventive measures to some common sins.
The television was banned, not because it was bad, but because it would give room for the devil to corrupt the mind.

“If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you.” Matthew 5: 30.

Right now the Television is now used to transmit the pastor’s message all over the world. He realized that God gave humans the spirit of “FREE WILL” and he urged members to make use of it the right way.

Pastor Kumuyi doesn’t have a personal Bank Account

It might interest you to know that the General Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church does not have his own personal bank account. He is under the church budget, and likewise other full-time pastors. He feeding, dressing, logistics is budgeted monthly by the church. He has no personal property, investments, and all he has is owned by the church.

One of the Criteria to become a full-time pastor is age
If you haven’t reached the age to retire from active government service, you can never become a full-time pastor in Deeper Life Bible church. Full-time pastors serve as State Coordinators, Regional Overseers, and of cause the General Overseer. Other positions are occupied by pastors who are still working and are not under the church financial budget.


Several Church Laws have been abolished by the General Overseer
In his recent messages, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi has preached against the enforcement of church laws that have no root in the Bible. Popular examples remain the Turban being worn in the church, the financial capabilities of a man before he gets married, and many other relating to technological advancements.
In many of his recent messages, he has preached against church leaders enforcing laws on members that would force them to drop their faith. His main focus was on the marriage committee of the church.

Holiness and Salvation is preached every Sunday
If you aren’t comfortable with someone preaching to you about Holiness, Salvation, Repentance, Restitution every Sunday, then don’t bother coming to church. That is the foundation of the church doctrine, and it will never change.

Deeper Life doesn’t sing and dance on Sundays because…
If you have been wondering why the church service on Sundays doesn’t come with dancing and singing, the answer is simple.
“It will weaken the body; make people fall asleep and tired when the real message about going to heaven is about being preached. We have a day to praise God for singing and praises, and that is during the Thursday revival service” Pastor W.F. Kumuyi explaining to BBC World.

Financial Prosperity is never the Topic of any Message
No pastor would come up the pulpit to preach about financial prosperity as a Sunday Message. The church focuses on “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and every other thing shall be added unto you”

Tithes and offering are collected and sent to the headquarters
Once it gets to the Church headquarters, it is redistributed to various states for the maintenance of churches in the state. If any Church project needs to be carried out, the amount is split according to the capability of members of the churches inside the same country.
No matter how long it takes to get the donations, the church will never seek donations from outside the church. That was the reason it took the church 5 years to complete the headquarters at Gbagada.

Finally, Laying of hands is not allowed in the Church

Pastors pray from their pulpit and miracle happens. "It doesn't matter if you are close or not to a sick person. God is still in the habit of answering the prayers of the righteous" Pastor W.F. Kumuyi.

Ask me any question and I will give you unbiased answers.

So during deeper life weddings, why do men appear smart in suits and women dressed in some funny dresses?Why are modern wedding dresses not allowed on the church because we have beautiful wedding dresses that are very modest?

Alwaysking:
Swerve! let me focus on better things.

When you were writing crap, you didn't remember you had better things?Give me a break!

You must be their mentor in stupidity.

Ahhh, I don't understand these deeper life rules.Men will be rocking suit looking smart & polished, while women are supposed to be dressed like some nuns.the rules seem to affect women more.He who the son sets free, is free indeed and shouldn't walk in bondage.Even queen Esther took time to bath in perfume & adorn herself before going to meet with the king.

I don't know where you got your facts from but beyond every reasonable doubt, we've seen how stupid Nigerians are beyond help starting with those who stereotype people from other countries.Those are especially the dumbest of the dumb.

Alwaysking:

whitebeard:

tishbite41:
Nigerians can compete anywhere in the world, legally n illegally. Kenyans can't do that. I think I have answered your question, Kenyaress. And by the way, what are you looking for on Nairaland?

No they come coz the value of your currency is low & to export crime.Your name is not Seun so since you don't own Nairaland, what right do you have to ask what am doing here?

whitebeard:
I dont think Nigeria has this kind of problem..!!

Our parents brought us up well..!

There's a lot of bad stuff about Nigeria that I read everyday.Doesn't mean that all Nigerians behave in that manner.Just because some people only post sex-related news about Kenyans, doesn't mean that's what Kenya is all about.There's a while lot of good things happening in my country everyday.And yes, they are people who seriously intend cred for our nation day & night .

stephenduru:
A Kenyan man Mustapha Hussein has been trending online for the wrong reason after he shared photo of a toddler's private part on Facebook and caption it:

"just imagine in future how it will look like".

He claims to be the father of the baby.The photo did not go well as many Facebook users blasted him,calling him names and said he is meant to be in jail by now.

See the photo below and how people reacted
