Pastor William Kumuyi, General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian
Life Ministry has disowned the controversial videos of a ‘prophetess’
and others who claimed to have died, gone to heaven and came back to
narrate their extra-terrestrial experience.
In the controversial
videos being sold all over Nigeria, two women and a boy claimed they
died, went to heaven and came back to narrate what they said God showed
them.
One of such CDs is that of a Sierra Leonean woman, simply called Sister
Linda Ngaujah. Linda said she died and was shown happenings in heaven
and hell and that many of the members of a large church on the
Lagos-Ibadan expressway are on their way to hell and that the founder of
a leading church in Lagos should repent as he allegedly acquired his
powers from the devil, saying that a Bishop of another large
congregation and his members are not even recognised in heaven.
She added that women who used rubber and wool to plait their hair will
go to hell as it is a sin and that the only way for people to be
prepared for heaven is to go back to the old Deeper Life Bible Church’s
method of dressing.
The video CDs released by Linda is causing
serious controversy in the church of God as some women in Deeper Life,
who plait rubber hair have vowed never to do so again as they want to
get to heaven.
Some female worshippers have even shaved their
hair in one Christian Assembly in Ikorodu, saying that they don’t want
to have anything to do with attachment as they want to get to heaven.
Another person who claimed to have gone to heaven said she saw the late
wife of Kumuyi, Biodun, in heaven and narrated her encounter there.
Other CDs were released by Margaret Amure from Church of God Mission,
who also claimed to have gone to heaven and another 10-year old boy from
Edo, named Samuel.
Reacting to this development on Sunday
during the church service, Pastor Kumuyi warned members of his church
not to have anything to do with such CDs as these are the last days
where many people would come up with different things to deceive the
church of God.
Kumuyi urged members of the church not to waste
their money on such CDs, saying that the church should not rely on
purported CDs of people who claimed to have gone to heaven to come back
to produce CDs to sell to people narrating their encounter.
He
referred to Linda’s CD which said people need to dress like Deeper Life
to get to heaven, saying that “if you dress like Deeper Life without
salvation and sanctification, will you get to heaven? These are the last
days.”
The man of God emphasized that dressing like Deeper Life
would not take anybody to heaven but that righteousness and holiness of
heart are the keys to getting to the kingdom of God and warned members
to desist from lwatching such CDs.
Kumuyi further said that one
of the people who claimed to have gone to heaven said they saw Mummy
Kumuyi in the kingdom of God, saying that he did not need such CD to
know that his wife was in heaven and that the word of God has told us
the criteria for getting to His kingdom.
According to him, such
people were merely deceiving the people, saying that when Apostle Paul
was translated to heaven and came back, he did not produce CDs about
what he saw in heaven and began to sell them.
“When Jesus raised
Lazarus from the dead, Lazarus did not go about telling people that this
was what he saw in heaven. We should rest on the word of God to tell us
what we need to know about heaven and how to get there. How do you know
that they have actually gone to heaven? These are the last days. Don’t
waste your money on buying these CDs,” he stated.
