Flasback; This Was The Dispute That Made Pastor Tunde Bakare Leave Kumuyi's Deeper Life Church

Hisexellency1d

Though many of us Christians have the agree with the main essence of the faith and even use the same bible, there always seems to be some differences in opinion. This is not unexpected though, as we interpret scriptures from our own perceived so our views will definitely differ. It is important to state here that the Bible is a contextual material and is a content that is spiritually discerned. Many renowned scholars and theologians have actually tried to make researches concerning some things made reference to in those times in order to bring a vivid understanding to present day faithfuls.

The christian religion is one that has witnessed numerous differences in terms of practices and beliefs. This has led to the rise of many denominations. Did spit this, there is still divergence of views even among the sub categories. The Pentecostal church is the emphasis on this subject. These group happened to gain prominence in the 80's and 90's through the emergence of some popular ministries today. A few highly respected ministers who heed to the spiritual call of starting a ministry took the courage and began the task through a small fellowship group before expanding. Today, there are proliferation of churches in Nigeria and beyond most especially the Pentecostal.

Without going into so much details of history, let's go straight to our main focus for today which is one of the mega churches in the country today and its founder. Pastor W.F kumuyi is the president and general overseer of the Deeper Life Bible Church which is a very well known ministry. The religious institution is usually marked for their doctrines which is in sharp contrast with many of its counterpart. Deeper Life has stood the taste of time with decades of their active involvement in religious activities. It has also brought up many Young men and women in the area of ministry accomplishments.
It may interest you to know that even some prominent ministers of the Gospel currently were products of pastor Kumuyi. Tunde Bakare a renowned preacher who heads the Citadel Global Community church formally known as Latter Rain Assembly used to be under the tutorlage of Kumuyi. The Lagos based preacher has recorded massive church growth over the years. Aside from his evangelical work, he also doubles as an activist and partial politician so to say who comments on socio political issues.
Bakare, though has risen to prominence also has his humble beginnings which he himself very much acknowledges and appreciates. Popular pastor Adeboye of RCCG and Kumuyi were two spiritual fathers has worked closely with. However, the Citadel Global Church Founder through his revelation some time ago appeared to have had a clash of doctrinal belief with his initial church, Deeper Life.
According to him, the prohibition and the refusal to use television was the source of the religious dispute. Recall that for many years, the Deeper Life ministry under the headship of Williams Kumuyi prohibited and spoke against the possession or watching of television describing as evil and not of God.
Consequently, due to his strong support base and followership, many members were compelled to follow suit on that perspective. Tunde who was a young apostle then seem to have a very contrasting opinion. The prominent clergy once narrated that during one of his sermons in the church which he was privileged to take, he was talking on the subject relating to how faith comes by hearing. During the course, he attempted to give an illustration using buying of a soap. In his words (paraphrased) "if you want to buy soap and you've been seeing joy soap advert on the television, you would most likely opt for it because you have consistently been hearing about it". To his surprise, the person who was interpreting his statement referred to the television as the "devil box". Unacceptable by him, he tried to correct the interpreter but all effort proved fruitless. He went further to explain that the following day, the Deeper life overseer said that it was evil for any one to own or even repair a television. For the profilic author, this was very wrong perspective to the Biblical teachings. Though he still holds the minister in high esteem, it wasn't a place for him to stay. He left and don't return.
Today however, due to proper enlightenment and biblical understand a turn has been made made and that belief no longer holds though are are still areas of clash one may degree with.
Bakare also came in contact with Redeemed church before establishing his own. He still respects the duo as prominent religious leaders in the country. Worthy of note is that pastor Tunde has been a critical voice to governments inadequacies over the years and was about to reach the pinnacle in politics when he contested as vice presidential candidate in 2011. He was selected to be the running mate of Muhammad Buhari under the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). The lawyer by training is known for his outspoken nature.

Why MFM Has The Highest Number Of Single Ladies
~3.2 mins read
Christianity makes me sick. I've some ladies i met at a fellowship when i lived at Onike. Any man that approached them who isn't a member of MFM, they turned down the proposal. Why must a church ask its ladies to marry either a member or bring their future spouse to join their church?
There was a time when people went to church/mosque or asalatu, heard the truth & wept over their sins. Today, reverse is the case; people go to house of worship, hear a motivational speech & ignore their sin. 
The bible especially is no longer preached. It has been replaced by Speech Notes. When you listen to some pastor twist Bible passages to suit motivating speech, you'll marvel & wonder if the Apostles that wrote the bible had any understanding. It's sad. So sad.
Even the way in which the Muslim clerics abuse, insult, condemn and badmouth other religion is sickening. Must everyone serve your god? Must everyone have same belief as you? Must everyone practice what you preach? Let's stop the hate. I heard an audio message of some Islamic Sheikh, oh my gosh, he had so much hate against the other religions. Where is it written in the Quran that it's only a Moslem that will make it in life or is entitle to live long? I see such as rants of an hungry man. Iponju lo ma n mu eniyan shi wi!
This is one of the reasons why I don't believe in Religion anymore. I know there's God. I revered Him. I pray to Him and He listens. Yes, I know there's a supreme being & i equally have so much faith in the Holy Trinity. But, Religion, No!
Call me names, it's no issue anymore. We fight ourselves over trivial things. We've so many older single ladies who are ardent church/mosque goers, it's not their choice to remain single, but because of a religion they belong which doesn't allow them marry anyone not of same faith as them.
Many things happening in the world today, most are caused by religion. Muslims fighting Christians. Muslim Missioners preaching against Christianity. A lady once said a Alfa that smokes, drinks & womanise is better than a Christian. Is this the kind of teachings the clerics give to their members?
Some parents won't allow their kids marry outside their faith. I've come across men who claimed they can't marry a lady who's not of same faith. It still doesn't add up. Why curse out one another on religion grounds? The white men gave us religion and took our common sense away. It's a pity.
So, tell me why i should be a Christian or Moslem with all the hate in the world today caused by religion? Must i even be a member of any before been call a lover of God? Is there nothing like, Olajumoke believes in God, serves & worship Him wholly without having to claim a religion?
The World Need Salvaging. We're in perilous times!
