Deeper Life5 admirable things about this church

Deeper Life stands out in a world filled with prosperity churches and end time pastors.

In a world filled with prosperity churches and end time pastors, Deeper Life Bible Church stands out.

Here is how.
1. The church and its members are unique: These days, a lot of churches have blended into each other because everyone is trying to be like everyone else. In the midst of all of these, the Deeper Life Bible Church stands out in every way.

A perfect example is their overseer, William Folorunso Kumuyi, who is absolutely different from other preachers. Whilst other church leaders are known for showing off their exotic rides, jets, the Deeper life overseer still has a simple, understated about him.
2. The members have managed to maintain their style: Over the years, there have been a lot of churches that started out one way and are now doing things differently. In a bid to attract more worshippers and blend with the modern times, these churches have dropped the qualities that set them apart from others.
This church has continued to maintain their style. In this era of flamboyant churches (no judgement), Deeper Life continues to remain the same in spite of the criticisms and mockery.

3. The Overseer is not afraid to admit his mistakes: In 2015, Kumuyi created a huge stir when he declared that he would remove the unholy doctrines he created before he dies. According to him, some of his doctrines had caused more harm than good, hence the need to remove them, causing providing a purer church.
This shocked everyone because it is unheard of for a Nigerian pastor to admit ti making a mistake. This trait is certainly something worth admiring, let's hope others can learn from it.
4. The church has grown from zero to hundred: In 1973, Kumuyi started a Bible study group while he was a lecturer of mathematics at the University of Lagos. The study group had only fifteen members, who eventually grew in numbers and were able to convince him to start a church. Thus, the Deeper Life Bible Church was born on Sunday, 7 November 1982.
Now, the church has over one million members in more than sixty countries around the world.  Reportedly, the church has an attendance of 120,000 every Sunday, more than 500 churches in Lagos, and over 5,000 in the rest of Nigeria. According to foreign policy, this church is the "world largest megachurch".

5. The church's main focus is the Word of God: Enter any church and you are likely to hear sermons on prosperity, blessings, followed by reasons you should pay your tithe. While I have never personally attended this church, everything points to the fact that this church cares about following the Bible to the letter.
Some reviews gathered from the Internet also support this theory. One person wrote, “Kumuyi teaches the Bible (quite masterly and convincingly) as if he was there when it was written!” Another said, “I would classify him as one of the greatest living preachers, giving a straight forward Bible-based message, his sermons thorough, and always personally challenging."

(nigeriaplaces)Note: None of these means that this church or it's members do not have their flaws, everyone does. Love them or criticize them, we have to admit that this church has some qualities worthy of admiration. Don't you agree?

  Two married couples who live and raise their families together and swap partners have opened up about life as a foursome. Alysia and Tyler Rogers are married and were already parents to two children, now ages 7 and 8, when they embarked on a romantic relationship with married friends Sean and Taya Hartless. The two couples, originally from the US, moved in together as a polyamorous foursome in 2020 and the following year, Alysia and Taya delivered babies seven months apart. Neither woman knows who biologically fathered the kids, with Alysia maintaining they will help the children discover that down the road if they ever want to. We wanted to do everything we could to make sure that everybody feels like an equal parent, Taya told Today.com. At this point, finding out their genetics would change nothing. The family of eight now live in Lebanon and have amassed a huge social media following with their big family. We didn't intend to fall in love, but here we are! the quad, who have

How You Can Extend Your Mobile Phone Battery Life.

  Mobile phone battery life depends on a variety of factors. A line of best fit or regression model will help predict when a mobile phone’s battery will run out of charge. The time the phone is off and used are also factors to consider when calculating battery life. Many people find that their phones last about 18-24 months if they charge them every two days. But, for many people, this number is not sufficient. This means that it may not be realistic to expect the phone to last that long. A good way to extend the life of your mobile phone’s battery is to turn off the features you don’t use often. The more things you do with your phone, the more battery it will use. When the battery gets low, turn off unnecessary features and apps to save the battery. You can also try changing the interval at which the phone updates. But this can cause other problems. Try these tips and make sure that your phone has enough battery life to last you until your next recharge. The battery life of a mobile p
