The
General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor
William Kumuyi, has refused to recognise the controversial videos of a
‘prophetess’ and others who claimed to have died, gone to heaven and
came back to narrate their extra-terrestrial experience.
In
the controversial videos being sold all over Nigeria, two women and a
boy claimed they died, went to heaven and came back to narrate what they
said God showed them.
One
of such CDs is that of a Sierra Leonean woman, simply called Sister
Linda Ngaujah. Linda said she died and was shown happenings in heaven
and hell and that many of the members of a large church on the
Lagos-Ibadan expressway are on their way to hell and that the founder of
a leading church in Lagos should repent as he allegedly acquired his
powers from the devil, saying that a Bishop of another large
congregation and his members are not even recognised in heaven.
The
‘prophetess’ added that women who used rubber and wool to plait their
hair will go to hell as it is a sin
and that the only way for people to
be prepared for heaven is to go back to the old Deeper Life Bible
Church’s method of dressing.
The
video CDs released by Linda is causing serious controversy in the
church of God as some women in Deeper Life, who plait rubber hair have
vowed never to do so again as they want to get to heaven.
Some
female worshippers have even shaved their hair in one Christian
Assembly in Ikorodu, saying that they don’t want to have anything to do
with attachment as they want to get to heaven.
Another
person who claimed to have gone to heaven said she saw the late wife of
Kumuyi, Biodun, in heaven and narrated her encounter there.
Other
CDs were released by Margaret Amure from Church of God Mission, who
also claimed to have gone to heaven and another 10-year old boy from
Edo, named Samuel.
P.M.NEWS Nigeria reports that on Sunday during the church service, Pastor Kumuyi reacted
to this development warned members of his church not to have anything
to do with such CDs as these are the last days where many people would
come up with different things to deceive the church of God.
Pastor
Kumuyi urged members of the church not to waste their money on such
CDs, saying that the church should not rely on purported CDs of people
who claimed to have gone to heaven to come back to produce CDs to sell
to people narrating their encounter.
He
referred to Linda’s CD which said people need to dress like Deeper Life
to get to heaven, saying that “if you dress like Deeper Life without
salvation and sanctification, will you get to heaven? These are the last
days.”
The
man of God emphasized that dressing like Deeper Life would not take
anybody to heaven but that righteousness and holiness of heart are the
keys to getting to the kingdom of God and warned members to desist from
watching such CDs.
Pastor
Kumuyi further said that one of the people who claimed to have gone to
heaven said they saw Mummy Kumuyi in the kingdom of God, saying that he
did not need such CD to know that his wife was in heaven and that the
word of God has told us the criteria for getting to His kingdom.
According
to him, such people were merely deceiving the people, saying that when
Apostle Paul was translated to heaven and came back, he did not produce
CDs about what he saw in heaven and began to sell them.
“When
Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, Lazarus did not go about telling
people that this was what he saw in heaven. We should rest on the word
of God to tell us what we need to know about heaven and how to get
there. How do you know that they have actually gone to heaven? These are
the last days. Don’t waste your money on buying these CDs,” he stated.
