Dr. William Folohunso Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, has urged Christians to redirect their offerings from the church to support the poor and unemployed in their communities.
During a recent sermon, Kumuyi emphasized the importance of not solely investing in church infrastructure but also assisting neighbors in need. He shared an anecdote of a preacher instructing congregants to allocate their offering money to assist the less fortunate around them.
While acknowledging the significance of building churches, Kumuyi stressed the parallel duty of caring for neighbors facing hunger and poverty. He advocated for a balanced approach, expressing concern that prioritizing church construction over community well-being neglects the immediate needs of those suffering.
Kumuyi urged Christians to allocate funds for charitable purposes, highlighting the disparity between opulent church buildings and members facing hunger and deprivation. He emphasized the urgency of addressing the basic needs of individuals in distress, suggesting a more compassionate allocation of resources to uplift the less privileged.
In conclusion, he urged the church community to prioritize aiding both members and non-members in times of need, emphasizing the imminent return of Christ.
