William Kumuyi, the general
superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has urged Christians not
to attack the president of the country through any means.
Kumuyi, who gave the admonition
during his sermon at the Deeper Life Bible Church, headquarters, Gbagada, in
Lagos, said that real Christians must obey constituted authorities and shun
violence.
In his sermon entitled “The
Believers’ Preservation Until the Day of Visitation”, the cleric said that
Christians are strangers and pilgrims in this world and must be christ-like in
their character, conducts and conversations.
Kumuyi, who read from Biblical
passage, I Peter 2: 11-25, said that Christians lifestyle must reflect Christ
in a civil society, saying that government derives their authority from God.
“Don’t attack the President of
the country whether in words or in the newspapers or through internet,” he
said.
“Honour kings; don’t disrespect
or dishonour the governors. Don’t disrespect leaders of the community and
leaders in the church.
“If we are to honour the
governors in the states, how much more the Pastors.”
He said that such remains the
will and command of God.
He said that God wanted
Christians to submit to the leadership He had given to them in the Church,
community, country and corporate organisations.
The cleric, who stated that the
end of life on earth is not the end of existence, urged Christians to always
think of the day of reckoning in their character and conduct.
He said, as strangers and
pilgrims in the world, Christians’ affections, attentions and focus must be in
heaven, hence the need to shun all appearance of sins.
According to him, the greatest joy
and reward of Christians is not in this world but is reserved in heaven for
those who would not be overcome by attractions of the world.
