Pastor Tunde Bakare, Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly has made known public why he actually left the Deeper Life church.
Pastor Bakare who will be 60yrs tomorow November 11, had an
interactive chat with The News Nigeria. The excerpt.........
"I was in Deeper Life for five years, between 1978 and December 1983. Brother Kumuyi was and is still a great teacher of the Word.
The person that put the fear of God in me was Brother Kumuyi. He laid the foundation for systematic teaching that many people see me do today. However, I rose through
the ranks. I preached while I was there and conducted youth meetings. I was doing some legal works for the ministry also. I
registered some of their companies. But one day while I was ministering and a brother was interpreting, I was giving example of the “faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God” and I said, ‘Supposing you
go to a supermarket to buy soap, you might not know what soap to buy but because you watched the advertisement of Joy soap on television, then you would look for Joy soap because you have been hearing about it.’
And my interpreter said: “If you have been watching the devil’s box … “ I told him I didn’t say devil’s box but television, and he repeated saying the devil’s box and Brother Kumuyi was behind us. I said I didn’t say
devil’s box and that the normal
interpretation is amu ohun mu aworan, (the box that captures both the voice and the visuals).
Anyway, he still said what he said.
The following Sunday, Brother Kumuyi came up with what he called “Sunday Exaltation”;
he said that even if you repair television, you are a child of the devil. Then I took my Bible and left. I went home and said I would
serve my God, but was not interested anymore in church.
Lol! This is laughable indeed. But what wrong today.? They (members) use television today to view him all over the world while he preach.
Well, just need to hear pastor Kumiyi's version of the story shaa.
