Deeper Life SUSPENDS Pastor Kumuyi’s son and wife

So many questions running through my mind. Could it be that the wife of the GO's son wanted it they way it went and the son yielded to her wishes? Could it also be that the both wanted to do something different from the usual? I really can't find an answer to all of this. I don't know if suspending them is the best way. Leave your comment after reading through.

John Kumuyi and his wife, Love Kumuyi have been banned from attending church after their wedding was seen to be against the standard of the church. John and Love received thousands of  negative comments from church members who saw it to be hypocritical for the General Superintendent's son to wed in a different way from other ordinary members. Many condemned the wedding gown(short sleeve, transparent, fitted, stylish etc) worn by Love, make up and uncovered hair in church. Love was accused of flouting the established doctrine of the church on conservative dressing.

The hired limousine and huge cake was also contrary to the church's tradition. The church preaches against extravagance and encourages humility, simplicity and modesty.

Considering all these, the church leaders decided to place the couple on suspension to give them time to pray and seek forgiveness from God for their action.

John and Love’s suspension from church activities was announced last Saturday, at Deeper Life’s monthly Miracle and Revival Programme. The news was delivered by Pastor Philip Oluwi, a key leader in the church. Oluwi stressed that the standard of Deeper Life regarding weddings and mode of dressing has not changed. 

“The church, Deeper Life, remains committed to the biblical practice and standard of almost 40 years Christian dressing and still remains and does not compromise on biblical Christian dressing. Hence, deviation warrants the displeasure and frown of God and the leadership of the church. John and Love are now under discipline,” Oluwi announced to the entire congregation.

The couple has already apologized to the church for the inappropriate way the wedding was conducted. The ‘Letter of Apology,’ was read by Oluwi. In the letter, the couple expressed deepest regret for bringing the church into great disrepute.

In my opinion, i think they shouldn't be suspended. I understand if the church tells them to pray for forgiveness, but not suspension. Ok, if at all it is right for them to be suspended, then the pastor who blessed their union should also be suspended, because he obviously saw Love was inappropriately dressed (according to the standard of Deeper life).

God help us!
