The
General Overseer of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor W.F Kumuyi has warned
his members against participating in Christmas celebrations. Kumuyi made this
call during the recent annual convention of the church on Saturday, December
21, 2013. He says Christmas is Idolatrous.
The
general Overseer was quoted saying:
“We
don’t celebrate Christmas. It actually came from idolatrous background. That is
why you don’t hear us sing what they call Christmas carol, Never! We always say
it is the December retreat. We are only gathering together because it is the
holiday period and love the lord more, and rededicate ourselves more.
“When
you find anybody coming in, or any leader, trying to introduce the idolatry of
mystery Babylon, that they call Christmas and you want to bring all the
Christmas carol saying that is the day that Jesus was born, and you don’t find
that in the Acts of the Apostles or in the early church, then you don’t find
that in the church either. If you don’t
know that before, now you know.
Well,
he is entitled to his opinion just like every other person is entitled to
theirs. But then, what’s your opinion on the issue? Please, drop a comment
