Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) spoke to his members about “Unprecedented Miracles With Great Joy Through Faith,” during the ongoing global crusade, ‘Total Freedom through Faith in Christ’ in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The man of God advised his audience to believe because there is nothing impossible for God to do. He urged them to believe that God can heal them of every problem and challenge they have.

In one of his sub- headings, he talked about ‘The message of Christ for the whole City’ and he read the book of Act 8: 5 which says, “Then Philip went down to Samaria and preached Christ unto them.” He spent his time preaching Christ and not traditions or stories. He was serious with the gospel (which is the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ) and many people believed in him and accepted the gospel.

“Unfortunately today, most ministers of God spend time telling stories of their lives when they are supposed to be preaching the gospel. They tell stories of traditions and customs instead of giving them the pure gospel. Those stories are not bad but they cannot save souls and you have to prioritize saving souls. Those stories are just meant to motivate believers and teach them certain lessons about your life.”

However, the man of God advised ministers against telling stories of customs and traditions instead of preaching the true gospel.

He urged them to emulate the lifestyle of Philip who singlehandedly took the gospel of Christ around Samaria. They should spend time preaching salvation and telling sinners about the love of God for them.
