Only God’ll Choose My Successor, Not Human Pressure – Kumuyi

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has cautioned members of the church against mounting pressure on him over the appointment of his successor, insisting that only God will determine who takes over the leadership.

Speaking during a Bible study programme, the 83-year-old cleric expressed displeasure over what he described as “subtle agitations” within the church.

He warned that no one has the authority to control or compel him to step aside.

“Are you tired of me?” Kumuyi asked the congregation, drawing a loud “Nooo” in response.

His remarks came in reaction to comments allegedly made by a young preacher in the church earlier, who had repeatedly stated that “there is no leadership without a successor.”

Addressing the matter, Kumuyi said, “The brother who taught the other Tuesday kept saying there is no leadership without a successor. He said it twice. I felt that was too much, more so since your father is still here. God will give a successor at His own time.”

The Deeper Life leader stressed that biblical precedent makes it clear that succession is a divine decision, not one borne of human arrangements or pressure.

“You are not going to fight your shepherd, your pilot. I reject any member of the church, whether you are a worker, choir member, or security person, who tries to control me. I won’t even take that from my wife because I am the head of the home,” he declared.

Kumuyi urged members not to undermine his mission or attempt to weaken his resolve.

“Don’t try to kill my conviction. It will only make me resist you so that when you get to the other side, you won’t say I did not tell you,” he warned.

He explained that while he has given many gifted individuals in the church opportunities to minister, the choice of his eventual successor remains “in the hands of God.”

Na only company dey use the word "step down"!

Is deeper life registered with the CAC?

Seems na company!

Yes sir, except when God says it is time. May the Lord continue to strengthen you sir.

Sir tight syndrome even in "the Lord's house"

If we ask how this man is different from Paul Biya of Cameroon, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Assad, Stalin, and other sit-tight world leaders, im sheeple go say "Touch not my Prophet"

First, this man relocated to the US to enjoy life (or to manage a serious health condition as some people are whispering) after spoon-feeding his church members with doctrines of wretchedness for decades ..telling them watching TV or even listening to radio is a sin

Now he is saying they should not pressure him to hand over to a successor...Senior man, after more than 50 years of leading the Church, isn't it an indictment on your leadership if you haven't groomed people worthy enough to take over the mantle? ..

Is he waiting to suddenly drop dead and by so doing, foist a leadership war that can break the church?...Or he thinks he can't suddenly die? ...Isn't it far wiser to settle any succession issues while alive than plunge the church into disarray upon his demise?

What I have learnt from this is that at the very core, human beings are the same, no matter how religious we claim to be...

Who no like better thing? If the head or leader of any group be it a nation , a corporation or even a church was doing well then there would NEVER be calls for him or her to step down.

Do what you will with that piece of information. I don talk my own

Wow, this is a controversial response by Baba and could've been presented better.

Ok please seun find the remaining characters abeg

If cleric can stick to small power within religion circle like this, how much more political gladiators over a nation.
Africans with penchant for power!

Baba, death would force you to step down at appointed time

I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF BABA IS GROOMING HIS OWN SON TO TAKE OVER AFTER HIM, AND THE CIRCUIT CONTINUES.

You are not stepping down, except when God says so.

Why should they try to force him to step down, due to his age or what?

They should let go of pastor kumuyi bcus that deeper life company is his legal inheritance.

"You are not going to fight your shepherd, your pilot. I reject any member of the church, whether you are a worker, choir member, or security person, who tries to control me. I won’t even take that from my wife because I am the head of the home,” he declared. Pastor don vex

Yes, The Deeper Christian Life Ministry is a registered ministry under CAC because there are many other arms of the church (Deeper Life Bible Church is one) many people do not know.

First to comment hallelujah . Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Baba death would force you to step down at appointed time ok

Did you start the church for him? Were you or any of the church members there when God called him? Do you know the scope of his call and the assignment given to him with the time frame?

Ògá rest please and leave the man of God alone.

This Young generation, when you give them little opportunity to the pulpit, they will start asking for leadership.

Let the young men sit down and learn. And allow God to work on them

And apart from death n sickened body , how will we know?

In today's World it's better to have a good succession plan to reduce the number of conflicts and litigation that may occur in the future... If not the church can be factionalized... That being said, the Man of God didn't err in his statement.... Wisdom is profitable to direct...

Men don't like to relinquish power. They want to hold on until death.

Baba no gree for anybody. You owns your brand and no one can take that away from you.

Baba subtly threatened to deal with them 'on the other side' lol 😂

Nobody wey power no dey sweet for body, all this born-again matter na just format

Abi oooo, if that is the case, the lineage of PAUL APOSTLE, IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HEAD OF CHURCH GLOBALLY.

That office dey sweet. He can't just let go like that. He's been calculative.

Pastors, Alfa and Politicians are the same. They have changed common interest, manipulate, steal, oppress and subdue the People so they can ride their high horses.

I pity Nigerians who still stand by these people.

Pastor kumuyi said are you tired of me? Why are you asking for a successor?

Yes naa. Even when opening church account banks ask for CAC documents

Jesus christ while still doing his ministerial works appointed Apostle Peter as the Head,while is nigerianism destroying all fabrics of humanity?God.

Dem don dey dispute who go inherit the million dollar scam industry disguised as church.
