A former pastor with the Deeper Life Bible Church, Gideon Akande, has slammed the General Superintendent and Founder of the church, Pastor William Kumuyi, for allegedly inviting ‘Philistines’ to a program organized by the church, IgbereTV reports.
According to the bitter Pastor Akande, the invitees are “strangers who come with strange spirits”.
He stated that Kumuyi had derailed from the unction of the church, instead of winning souls which was the original mandate of the Deeper Life Ministry.
Pastor Akande’s grouse with Kumuyi was an invitation extended to former Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria, Ibukun Awosika, gospel singer, Dunsin Oyekan, and co-founder of Andela, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, by the church for a program and to Akande, the invitees are Philistines who should have nothing to do with the church.
In an open letter addressed to Kumuyi on Saturday, Akande told the GO to “go home and rest” if he was tired of running the church instead of ruining what took him years to build.
In the letter, Akande wondered if there were no successful people within the fold of the church that would warrant Kumuyi going as far as inviting strangers to a program organised by the church.
