That John belongs to Pastor Kumuyi doesn’t change the standard of heaven. Let us leave this man alone, I think he has done his best on his children training them to the age of getting marriage. I don’t think gown is more important in this. The way some of us talk, I don’t think if we were christ we would have welcomed mary magdalyn the way christ did. what we should be thinking about is, is love and John born again; is heaven for them at last? Anything outside that is onbecoming so long as i know thanks.

Nkpirinee, I don’t think you people understand the frustration here. The frustration is that many other deeper life members in the past have been put through more unwanted scrutiny when it comes to wedding. John Kumuyi is not suppose to be exempted, no matter what. As a matter of fact, because he is the GS son, he should have lived by an excellent example in order to preserve his father’s ministry and legacy.
Other deeper life members appeared cheated. That is not fair for them at all. Many feel victimized and taken advantage of. That is not fair. Secondly, I think another problem is those American and UK pastors who are trying to westernize the church. I live in the US and must cry out loud that I don’t like what I see. Long before John Kumuyi wedding, some deeper life pastors even wedded with the white gowns and didn’t go through the normal doctrinal protocol. Every church has doctrines which I believed are biblically driven. I think Pastor Kumuyi should focus more of his attention on African churches if sound biblical doctrine is to be preserved. I am pretty sure if John Kumuyi has grown up in Nigeria with other youth, this shouldn’t have happened. There is this western demon in American that gets on the pastors and they begin to compromise in an usual trend. Africans have time for God, they have time for prayers, they have time for morning devotions, and they have time for sound biblical teachings and enforcement. It appears the Christianity in America and other western countries have been polarized and diluted. May God give pastor Kumuyi wisdom to sort this out.

I am a proud Deeper Life member and happy to remain so, I married 2yrs ago to my sweetbaby, I never regretted the activities of the marriage committee, they made things easy and cheaper for me, most of my expenses where trimmed by their intervention, my wife still wears her wedding gown (the cloth she used was called wedding gown) the only difference with Barr. Love’s own is the veil. We should not kill the Pastor, John and Love, or the church. Rather lets pray for them. Deeper life is not a church for carnal, earthly and worldly minded people but for heavenly minded. If your hope for Christ is only in this world…. guess what???
God Bless your marriage John/Love, God bless Deeper Life and all lovers of the truth. Oliver

By d way, John and Love had written an appology 4 whatever must have been done wrong and/or conceivd wrong. Presently they are serving church discipline. I wish d strong wil help d weak. Mvst u condemn thousands bkos of few deviant xters. Those dat hav been mining 4 opportunities to condemn D L can now revel in critism. Caution-u wil account 4 every idle word.

The son should be blamed, the G.S has told the world the truth of the message of God, John is a disobedience son who love to fulfill Bible prophesy which says, in the latter days many will depart from the truth,they will not love sound doctrine gain and children will disobey their parents.

Congrats to the couple. It was a beautiful & decent wedding gown anyway. Thank God for their wisdom in apologizing, I like that. May Almighty God bless them and make their marriage fruitful in all aspects of their lives in Jesus’ Name.
For me there is nothing wrong with wedding gown as long as it did not expose any sensitive part of the body.

I married the girl of my dream in Deeper Life in 2010, we were both in our twenties. My wife wore a gown without veil and make-up, rings and ear rings.
We did that not because of traditions but because of our conviction. If given the opportunity to re-wed again, we’ll do exactly what we did three years ago. I love and respect Pst kumuyi, I wish him heaven at last and I’m proud to be his son in the lord.

Happy married life to the couple over there. Actually it is good for a lady to please her husband but remember that your moderation must be know unto all men in a godly way and manner. I’m a Deeper Life member in one of the deep region in the country, on the matter of wedding gown, Deeper life is a church with godly doctrine they put on wedding gown but it is usually in form of shirt and blouse for the female while the male put on suite, we dont need to blame the couple but who is to be blame for not going through the screening on wedding gown before the marriage date. On the other hand can we say it is the culture of the European? Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, it is profitable for u to follow the leadership of ur local pastor,likewise the past celebrant in such event. i’m proud to be a member of the church and i’m sure that my marriage will go through the current and normal doctrine of the church. I prefer the old fashioned days where marriage is strong and spirit flows. Brethen remember that the kingdom of God is at hand. Happy married life once again Bro John and Sister Love.

The wedding gown is not the problem cos it didn’t show any sensitive part of her body. The makeup, the ear rings and the eye lashes is the problem here.

God has given us the best things of life.The important thing is salvation and satisfaction.Conviction and contentment very important and we should not try to imitate,speak or dialog over issues that are not weighty.We ought to read our bible very well and differentiate between man made doctrines and the God made doctrines and commandments,to practice them and do them.Conscience very important cause every one has it,and if his conscience convinced him that the outfit or dressing of the wife is perfect,who are you to judge?Is suit in the bible and is suit an african wear?African`s have their native and traditional wears as regard`s to marriage ceremonies.Good things are good and God gave us money to spend on good things,only don`t sin to get money because you want to get good things,but if you have it why not,but spend wisely.A word is enough for the wise.

I don’t have anything against Deeper Life. Pastor Kumuyi is one of the best preachers of our age. But this one thing I know. Members of one church should not use their rigid doctrines as yardstick to judge other children of God. I live in the US and a Deeper sister always abhors my wearing pants (trousers) in winter. For all I care, if you don’t want to protect your body in freezing temperature, that’s your choice. But I’m going to dress warm and give no room for sickness. Church doctrines are man made. Pastor Kumuyi came out of the Apostolic Faith and I’m convinced there are some things he did while in their midst that he doesn’t do now. Does that mean he wasn’t a child of God back then? No. I’m convinced he was. People have a tendency to mistake information and transformation. A person may be informed in the Word, but not transformed by the Word. There are Deeper Life members who have the nastiest attitude I’ve ever seen. And yes, they are leaders in the church. The Bible warns against taking the doctrines of men as commandments of God (Mat. 15: 8-9).The issue of the Kingdom is not about leaving the substance to chase after the shadow.
Wedding gown or no wedding gown. Is that the important thing here? These two love the Lord and that is all that should matter. After all, there was a time when TV was considered the “Devil’s Box” by the Deeper Life standard. Now it’s a common household item in Deeper Life homes. Pastor Kumuyi himself preaches via satellite, which by the way is transmitted thriugh a TV. So are they sinners now, or was the initial doctrine borne out of ignorance and pure dogmatism? Let God be the Judge and the Holy Spirit our Guide.
