The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Doctor William Folohunso Kumuyi, has given advice to Christians that has since gone viral.
In a video shared online, Pastor Kumuyi urged Christians to stop giving all their offerings to churches and instead, give to the poor and unemployed in their communities. He emphasized the importance of not neglecting those in need while focusing solely on building churches.
Kumuyi recounted a story of a preacher who encouraged his congregation to give their offerings to those less fortunate around them. The preacher highlighted the need to prioritize caring for neighbors who are struggling to afford basic necessities over lavish church constructions. This message echoes the need for Christians to remember those who are suffering in their communities and to extend a helping hand to them.
The advice from Kumuyi aligns with recent criticisms from OAP Daddy Freeze, who has been vocal about the extravagant lifestyles of some Nigerian pastors contrasted with the poverty experienced by their followers. Freeze has brought attention to the biblical message that emphasizes caring for the poor and helping those in need.
Kumuyi stressed the importance of balancing church development with caring for the less privileged. He urged Christians to allocate funds for charitable causes and community support alongside church building projects. He cautioned against focusing solely on church construction while neglecting the urgent needs of people living in poverty and hunger.
As incidents of tragic deaths and violent acts stemming from economic hardship continue to make headlines in Nigeria, Kumuyi’s advice serves as a timely reminder for Christians to prioritize compassion and generosity towards those struggling in their communities. By directing offerings and resources towards aiding the less fortunate, Christians can make a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
