Deeper Life Secretary explains why Kumuyi ‘broke down’ during Easter Retreat

More revelations have emerged over the
recent failing health of the General
superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church,
Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi during
the just concluded national Easter Retreat of
the church. DailyPost had exclusively reported that the
former university don broke down during
the retreat and was forced to rest on
Saturday after losing his voice the previous
day. Explaining why the preacher broke down,
the church secretary, Pastor Jerry Asemota
while addressing the congregation Saturday
morning said the sudden health failure of the
pastor was not unconnected to his recent
marathon engagements across the continent. According to Asemota, "With much
pleading, we had to convince our pastor to
rest. You could recall that lately, he was
engaged in series of rival meetings across
the continent. Only recently, he was in Abuja,
Taraba, Bayelsa, Imo, Edo, Akure and Ibadan. He was also in Ghana, Namabia and
Togo and other West African countries. He's human and needs to rest, so we
enjoined you all to pray for God's strength
upon his life and bear with us at this time. He
is not going on holiday but he needs serious
rest. I am very sure that before the
programmes end, your Pastor will bounce back to complete what he had started"
Asemota assured. Kumuyi who eventually bounced back during
the last day of the retreat did not make any
reference to his health condition during his
ministrations.
However, he was seen very agile and
vibrant during the last day of the power- packed programme. The
soft-spoken preacher in his last sermon
entitled "Reigning Through the Victory of
Jesus" said, once you have the vision with
Jesus Christ, you can achieve anything. Speaking from the book of Luke 6:19,
Kumuyi said in these perilous times, one
needs to make Christ his focus. According to
him, holiness is important as without it, no
man can see God. The preacher testified of a recent miracle
that happened during his last programme in
Bayelsa State. According to him, after the programme, he
went to the office of the state overseer for a
meeting and in the process some persons
brought three men on wheelchairs and
dropped them behind his car. "When I saw them, I told them in name of
Jesus rise up and walk and I entered my car
of drove off. "Before we could reach the government
house where we lodged, we received a call
from them that they have started walking.
That shows what God can do when you focus
on him," he told his congregation.
