‘Some are overseers’ — Pastor Kumuyi speaks on Deeper Life’s 15 founding members

William Kumuyi, the general overseer of Deeper Life Bible
Church, says some of the people who started the church with him are now
national and state overseers.

 

Kumuyi spoke during a recent question and answer forum at
the church’s headquarters in Lagos.

 

According to information on the church website, in 1973,
while serving as math lecturer at the University of Lagos, Kumuyi started a
bible study group with 15 university students who had come to him requesting
training in the scriptures.

 

By the early 1980’s that small group had grown to several
thousands, at which time Deeper Life Bible Church was formally established.

 

At the forum, a woman asked if there had been any benefit
for the 15 people who started the church with Kumuyi, adding that most of them
are currently old.

 

“My question is based on the 15 people that started this
church with our daddy. I want to know if there is any benefit for them as a
church,” she said.

 

“Is there any care for them as a church because most of them
are old enough (sic) in the church. Is there any way the church has fixed
them?”

 

Responding, Kumuyi said “God is taking care of them”, noting
that some had become national and state overseers.

 

“I thought about it and said look at that national overseer,
we started together. Look at that state overseer there and there. As God is
making use of me, he is using all of them,” Kumuyi said.

 

“And one or two that may not be state overseer or national
overseer, God has built houses for them. God has educated their children. They
have gone overseas. They have had grandchildren. I cannot think of anyone
faithful to God that God has not taken care of.

 

“He is taking care of me and taking care of them. And the
most important, they are saved and still remain saved. They are sanctified and
they are following peace with all men, without which no man shall see the Lord.
God is taking care of his people.”
