Following the recent wedding ceremony of the second son of Pastor W.F Kumuyi,
John Kumuyi which has generated a lot of controversies on the social media, and
particularly on this blog, its important things are clarified as most readers have
requested for the real photographs of the event.However, further investigations
revealed that those photographs were not altered, as one eye witness earlier told us.
At the weekend, John and Love Kumuyi have written a letter of apology to the
church leadership and members, stating that they take the full responsibility for
their actions.Read the full text of the letter after the cut...
June 22nd, 2013,
The Church Secretary,
Deeper Christain Life Ministry
LETTER OF APOLOGY
John and Love Kumuyi, write to express our deepest and most sincere apology for the turn of events, that
have resulted on our traditional and wedding
ceremonies, that took place in Jamaica
on 13th June and 15th June, 2013 respectively.
We unreservedly and wholeheartedly state, that we did not
intend that our acts or omissions will in any way undermine the great works
that God has done through the Deeper Christian Life Ministry Worldwide and more specifically , through our Father in the
Lord, the General Superintended (GS).
We also use this
medium to profusely and sincerely apologies to the general superintended for
the embarrassment and heartaches, our actions have caused him, more so that he
has earlier declined to be at the events.
We acknowledge that we may have been distracted by cultural
differences, as we both of us have been outside the country for the past to
decades. This notwithstanding, we fully accept that having being nurtured,
taught and brought up with the sound teaching of the word of God, we should
have been able to draw the line, which
we failed to do. We have now realized the effects of our actions and omission and
do plead with the church for forgiveness and also appealing that any action
that should be taken be directed at John and Love, as we take this time to
prayerfully reflect on our actions. We take full responsibility for what happened,
and this action should in no way be blamed on the GS, or the leaders of the
church in Nigeria, United States, Jamaica or United Kingdom and beyond.
Yours Sincerely,
John and Love Kumuyi
Your posterity will always look at ur wedding photographs and be proud. They will find all these controversies very ridiculous. May God bless ur marriage. I love u both. Be strong in ur convictions na ur papa born u.
ReplyDeleteThis is a propaganda. The church should be careful! You cannot cajole people to write down what the Church thinks is right just to prove a point. It is also another form of deception. THE LORD KNOWS THEM THAT ARE HIS
ReplyDeletePLANNED DEAL. WHY THE GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT ON THE MAN OF GOD. APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTABLE.
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTE RUBBISH
ReplyDeleteThey have rightly apologized to the Church of God. Those of you that still don't see anything wrong with worldliness, you better repent now, before it becomes too late for you.
ReplyDeleteso having a good modest wedding is worldiness? must everyone look like they are mourning on their wedding day, dnt see what this couple has done to deserve this holier than thou judgement. na wa o!!!
DeleteBro Kingsley Igle make sure that you have repented before it is too late for you. Are you sure that the Lord is pleased with you and you comments not even speaking of your heart conditions?
DeleteWhat is the sin in this context. Apology without a clear wrong is in itself wrong.
ReplyDeleteKingsley shut ur mouth up if u hv nothing 2 say,wot is worldly bout wot dey did?Two pple inluv did d right tin nd u guys are there criticizing dem.who are u 2 judge?may God forgive u all.
ReplyDeleteThis was the right opportunity for the church to distinguish between DOCTRINE and SIN, instead, they have successfull shown to all that what is SIN in Nigeria is okay in Jamaica, its just like saying its okay to kill in Jamaica but not in Nigeria. I tot a SIN is a SIN?
ReplyDeleteIs a pity 4 john to have behave like that,i.e to be easily fall back from strong doctrines and faith preaching by his Father, GS DLBC both local and international. in fact, let me be realistic about d issue, what john did is wrong and unacceptable bcos it has generate a lot of controversy among d members of the church and some christian members who are not even the member of the church and therefore weakened their spiritual life and this acts had led many to backslide from true faith which was once deliver unto saints.apology is accepted but repentance is needed by john and church marriage committee i.e Canada's church should call to order and disciplines sanction be taking against john.[notice: i base all my discussions on john bcos i know his spiritual foundation.]
ReplyDeleteAlex Ademilola O. My brother God bless you. Such a thing shouldn't have been heard off from John at all also the marriage committee that handled their courtship procedure should all be called to order. What a pity this is happening at such a time as this. Only God knows what and where this incidence will lead to.
ReplyDeleteJohn and Love, God bless you and your marriage.
ReplyDeleteJudge Alex Ademilola and Ofelixkalu, the question is: is ur life right with God? Pls get it right, they apologized for the turn of events during their wedding not for the sin they committed against God. They r not sinners and u shld not paint them as one. John has been used as a vessel by God before now and has created impact. What about you? John Kumuyi wedding is not the bible u r told to study. Pls Preach Christ and leave John and love kumuyi alone
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting them in their place. They are professing Christians but passing judgments on someone else. Who ever gave you the power or right to do that? If your heart was right with God as u claim to follow our GS's teaching you guys should be praying for the couples instead of having mouth diarrhea. Go and get your hearts and your family house in order before you make a fool of urself and our church on social media.
DeletePharisees!!! Can u perceive d great bitters ruling d heart of these pharisees - in 'whose' care is d key to heaven's gate & would have no 'unrighteous' person go in. Honestly, i can see just a litttle difference between these pharisees and boko haram
ReplyDeleteNothing to apologize for! Gal 6:3 but let every man prove his own work! And then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another. For Everyman shall bear his burden. The bible will stand Tall above all human traditions, dogmas and teachings.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply a lesson for us to always think of consequences before we take any action, not only on ourselves, but on others also.
ReplyDeletesome of you still dont kw whts happening here. the church has never allowed any one to dress dis way wen he or she wants to wed especialy for a lady. and now the children of the pastors are the ones dressing dis way. wht do u hav to say abt dat? the way love dressed is nt wrong and is nt a sin bt the fact is dat no oda person has bin allowd to dress for a weddin dis way. This is d reason for pple complainin abt dis kind of wedding, nt dat d weddin is a sin.
ReplyDeleted reason for the apology is for the controversies they hav caused and the embarrasment they hav caused der parents. they r nt apologying for the way dey dressed. i blamed dem alot cause dey shld hav kwown that dis will cause a lot of confusion haven bin brot up in the church. dey shld hav just maintained themselves for the sake of thier father. wedding is nt abt the dressing. infact dressing shld nt b d most important tin. it is hw dey r able to kip up der marraige. dressing shld nt hav caused al dis . if u dress al d dressin, after dat the most important is dat is ur weddin goin to last so long as u wish? may God help us all
ReplyDeleteThat's fine.
ReplyDeleteThe fact is that, sister Love has the worldliness in her heart and she has been making so-called make-ups before bringing to her wedding. The Bible says "Out of the abundance of heart the mouth speaks" so what is in the heart came out. She knew ear-rings is idol in the world and unholy before God. If they have apologised she should sincerely repent from the lip stick, ear ring and all other worldliness she is hiding from the people of God in Deeper Life Bible Church. I have never seen this in any of Deeper Life Bible Church branches and also the Marriage Committee should also be blamed for allow such a thing to happen. It is sort of discouragement to the man of God pastor W F Kumuyi. No doubt Kumuyi is the man of God preaching the truth in this generation of sin. May the Lord himself comfort and strengthen him to continue in His service. Now the Marriage Committee should open their spiritual eyes to ensure the right thing is done in Deeper Life Bible weddings not give the devil a chance to take advantage.
ReplyDeleteThe did is already done. Let's allow the matter to die. less we commit sin ourselves by typing different comments which may not be palatable for the up coming Christians. I counsel every person to be silent on this matter. May God give you the grace to be silent so that you can hear from God.
ReplyDeleteI leave issues such as this lie silent. We don't know all the truth.
