General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor W.F Kumuyi, has once again warned members of his church against celebrating Christmas, saying the yearly celebration of Christmas is idolatrous and unscriptural.
He warned that the celebration makes Christians to go back from the commandment of Jesus Christ.
Kumuyi said this at the annual national December convention of the church, which held on Saturday at the church’s camp ground in Ogun State.
He said, “We don’t celebrate Christmas. It actually came from idolatrous background. That is why you don’t hear us sing what they call Christmas carol, Never! We always say it is the December retreat. We are only gathering together because it is the holiday period and love the lord more, and rededicate ourselves more.
“When you find anybody coming in, or any leader, trying to introduce the idolatry of mystery Babylon, that they call Christmas and you want to bring all the Christmas carol saying that is the day that Jesus was born, and you don’t find that in the Acts of the Apostles or in the early church, then you don’t find that in the church either. If you don’t know that before, now you know.”
What do you think?
Personal opinion.make we sha dance Skelewu plus windeck this season as we celebrate Jesus.

ReplyDeleteDis one na popularity stunt again n wah o Naija anywayz he is entitled to his opinion. Agreed 25th is nt d exact day Chist was born so its nt in d scriptures bt d day was picked to celebrate Christ cos HE is much bigger than the god dat was being celebrated then, when Christianity was brought to dem Christ was then celebrated that day. Why are u so bothered abt dates sir Christ is d essence jst a day set aside to celebrate him and to show those who don't celebrate HIM all their lifes can start somewhere its more of a spiritual instead dis man of God should speak to pple how much better this GREAT God can be celebrated retreat and meditate on HIS birth and give ur life true meaning. I see he just wants to be heard cos nobody talks abt Deeper life again its all publicity stunt cos as much as I can remember the church was not media friendly aw come someone had to come video dis. Naija sha!
