“We’ll never celebrate Christmas” – Pastor Kumuyi says it’s ‘idolatry practice’....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, has again restated that the Deeper Life Bible Church will not join in the celebration of Christmas.
The cleric insisted that the practice has roots the church considers unbiblical.
“Since this ministry started, we have never said we are going to a Christmas retreat. Never. We don’t celebrate Christmas. It actually comes from an idolatrous background,” he said.
Christmas Has Idolatrous Origin, Kumuyi Says
Speaking to the congregation in a widely circulated video, Kumuyi maintained that the church has never recognised Christmas since its establishment.
He explained that the festival is tied to idolatrous traditions, which makes it unacceptable to the ministry.
He stressed that Deeper Life has never organised any Christmas retreat or Christmas-themed programme.
December Retreat, Not Christmas Celebration
Kumuyi clarified that what people often assume to be a Christmas activity in Deeper Life is actually a December retreat, strictly focused on prayer, spiritual renewal, and reconnecting with God.
In his words; “We always call it a December retreat, a time for those gathering together because of the holiday period to reconnect ourselves to the Lord, to give everything we have, and to love more.”
Warning Against Importing Christmas Customs
The holiness preacher also cautioned against attempts to introduce Christmas traditions into the church, describing such efforts as attempts to bring practices he believes are contrary to biblical worship.
He added; “When you find any section of the church where anyone wants to introduce the idolatry of mystery Babylon that is called Christmas… we do not allow it.”
He urged worshippers to remain steadfast and uphold the church’s long-standing doctrine on the matter.
Focus on Spirituality, Not Secular Festivities
Pastor Kumuyi further emphasised that the church prioritises spiritual devotion, prayer, and love above merrymaking, partying, drinking, and other activities commonly associated with Christmas celebrations.
He encouraged members to stay focused on God rather than worldly festivities.
Church Continues Annual Spiritual Retreats
Despite global Christmas celebrations, Deeper Life Church continues to hold its annual December retreats across Nigeria and internationally, maintaining its stance on spiritual growth over traditional holiday celebrations.

Woman Reveals How She Met Her Husband While In A Relationship With Another Man
Though she met the man who would become her husband during this time, she remained strictly loyal and refused to speak to him because she was already committed.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
A lady on TikTok has stirred conversations after she shared the story of how she met her husband while she was still in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend.
The narrator begins by explaining that she was in a serious relationship with her ex-boyfriend for nearly a year.
Though she met the man who would become her husband during this time, she remained strictly loyal and refused to speak to him because she was already committed.
However, things with her boyfriend began to sour. Two months into their relationship, his attitude shifted; he became distant and secretive. Despite her efforts to “fix” things and encourage him to be open, he remained closed off.
The narrator turned to prayer, and she claims that God began revealing the truth through her dreams. Initially, she struggled to believe these visions because her boyfriend was “highly spiritual,” but the instincts persisted.
The breaking point came during a visit when he ordered a pizza, ate almost the entire thing himself, and gave her only one slice. When she confronted him about being stingy, it highlighted a deeper lack of care.
Eventually, her dreams were confirmed: she confronted him about a Senior High School (SHS) girl he claimed to be “helping” who was actually pregnant with his child. His defensive reaction—asking how she knew and accusing his friends of telling her—confirmed the betrayal.
Despite the pregnancy, the narrator initially tried to give him another chance, even planning for the unborn child. She requested to meet the “baby mama” so they could get to know one another. However, when they finally met, the boyfriend introduced the narrator as his sister. This final act of cowardice and deception was the end; she laughed at the absurdity of the situation and walked away for good.
On her way home from that final encounter, she reached out to the man she had met previously. They shared a playful text exchange where he jokingly pretended not to remember her. After she sent him two photos, his enthusiastic response made her realize she had finally found her “peace.”

President Trump’s Airstrikes: Stop military cooperation with US immediately – Islamic Cleric Sheikh Gumi Tells Tinubu Govt
Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has called on the Federal Government to immediately halt all military cooperation with the United States following reported US airstrikes.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Gumi warned that American involvement could worsen Nigeria’s security challenges and undermine national sovereignty.
Gumi made the call in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Friday.
He said while Islam permits the fight against terrorism, such actions should only be carried out by what he described as “clean hands,” arguing that the United States lacks the moral authority to lead such efforts because of its global military record.
According to the cleric, Nigeria made a mistake by allowing foreign powers to play a role in its counterterrorism operations, insisting that “terrorists do not truly fight terrorists” and that such interventions often result in civilian casualties and hidden political motives.
Gumi warned that allowing Nigeria to become a theatre of war would attract anti-US forces into the country, further destabilising it.
He also cautioned that US involvement, particularly under claims of protecting Christians, could polarise the country along religious lines.
The cleric further argued that airstrikes alone cannot defeat terrorism, stressing that effective counterterrorism requires strong ground operations, which he said Nigeria has enough personnel to carry out if properly organised.
“This is the mistake Nigeria has made. Terrorists don’t fight terrorists in truth; they may only kill innocent people and have ulterior motives behind the drama of fighting ‘terror’.
“As a principle, no nation should allow its land to be a theater of war. And no nation should allow its neighbors to be their enemies.
“If Nigeria wants military assistance, China, Turkey, and Pakistan can do the job effectively,” part of his statement read.
