Pastor William Kumuyi
The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life
Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has said
Nigeria will overcome all its problems including
insecurity challenge posed to it by the Boko
Haram.
Kumuyi said this at a press conference he
addressed in Osogbo on Thursday night upon his
arrival for the crusade of the church which started
on Friday and to end on Monday morning.
The cleric said the problems facing Nigeria were
not peculiar ones, adding that with fervent prayers
all the problems would be solved by God and with
right attitude of the people of the country.
Kumuyi said, “Many nations have problems
similar to Nigeria’s but with prayers to God, all
the problems would be solved.
“The crusade we are holding is part of solution to
the problems of the nation. We are going to pray
for individuals and the nation. God is interested in
this country and all our problems will be solved.”
Kumuyi also advised Nigerians to vote wisely in
the 2015 general election, saying Nigerians should
vote for candidates they believe would take the
nation and their states to where they were
supposed to be.
He said, “I can’t say that kind of leader is A, B or
C but we should cast our votes intelligently. We
know what the country should be and we should
vote for a leader who would take us there.
“Obviously, you don’t expect me to say you
should vote for a particular party or anybody
because I am not a politician. But I pray God will
give us the wisdom to vote for the right persons
to take us there.”
The pastor, who was a mathematics lecturer at
the University of Lagos before starting the church
in 1973 appealed to Nigerians to repent from their
sins and turn to God who he said had solutions to
all problems confronting mankind. The overseer of
the DLBC in Osun State, Pastor John Adeniran,
had earlier said the military onslaught against the
Boko Haram sect could not end the crisis except
God intervenes to save Nigeria.
He said, “The government and security agents are
doing their best but except God brings solution to
the problem, all their efforts cannot win the war
against the insurgents.
“Government is labouring, but except God
intervenes there can’t be solution to the problem.
We need God to come and intervene in the affairs
of our nation. We will pray for God’s intervention
in Nigeria’s problems during this crusade and we
believe God will help us.”
Adeniran, who had worked as a pastor in Chibok,
Borno State where over 200 female students were
abducted about five months ago said believers
should intensify their prayers for the nation.
The cleric, who said the problem of terrorism was
not limited to Nigeria noted that the act was one
of the signs of the end time. He urged Christians
to be steadfast while calling on unbelievers to
repent from their sins and begin to live a godly
life.
Adeniran, while speaking on the challenge which
Ebola posed to Nigeria said the devil was at the
root of the disease.
He said, “Challenges have always been in this
world. There are challenges in every generation
and there will always be challenges till the end of
every generation. Great events that made history
passed through very tough challenges. So, what
we are experiencing today should not be strange
to us.”
He urged anybody with Ebola symptoms to visit
hospitals where they could be tested and treated.www.facebook.com
