Pastor W.F Kumuyi Didn't Ban The Use of Phones in His Church - Deeper Life Bible Church Speaks Out

 

There was a story which made rounds on several blogs yesterday (click here) that the general overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Bible Church Pastor W. F. Kumuyi declared on Encomium magazine that he has banned the use of iPad and Android devices during church service. Well a rep for the church posted a message on its official Facebook, claiming it is false. Please read:

FALSE REPORT
“Pastor Kumuyi of Deeper Life Bible Church bans the Use of iPad & Android Devices” – Encomium Weekly.

The above report has been trending in the Social media from Tuesday, 15 July 2014.
THIS REPORT IS FALSE.
There was never a time as referred to in the article, when Pastor W.F. Kumuyi made this statement or “BANNED” the use of mobile devices in the Church.
As much as every Christ-loving believer is encouraged to give God his/her full attention when in Church or in any other place, where the Word of God is being taught, this story is HIGHLY MISCHIEVOUS and MISLEADING.
There is no doubt that Technology has its place in the spread of the gospel message as well as believers’ development where such is put into proper use but its misuse or abuse is not encouraged.
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: FOR ALL MEN HAVE NOT FAITH. But the Lord is faithful, WHO SHALL STABLISH YOU, and KEEP YOU FROM EVIL” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3.
Remember, it is not everything from these sources that is true!
May the Lord keep you in the Truth and not be tossed about by errors, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
