The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, has called on the Federal Government, state governors, and other leaders to make sound decisions to ease the suffering of Nigerians.
He emphasized the importance of leaders listening to the voices of the masses and fulfilling their promises.
Speaking at a press briefing ahead of the Global December Retreat and Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK), themed “Power for Present Possession,” Pastor Kumuyi urged leaders at all levels to implement strategies that will bring positive change to the nation.
The retreat, scheduled for December 20–25, 2024, at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, KM 42, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, aims to promote spiritual renewal and inspire national transformation.
“In the past, various sections of society—including women, young people, and activists—have expressed their expectations. Leaders, whether at local, state, or federal levels, are elected to drive positive change. It is their responsibility to listen to the populace and create thorough plans for national improvement,” Kumuyi stated.
He stressed the importance of leaders understanding and addressing the underlying messages from the masses to foster progress in all sectors.
Pastor Kumuyi expressed concern over the low participation of Christians in active politics, urging them to abandon nonchalant attitudes and take an active role in nation-building.
“Christians cannot complain about the direction of policies if they fail to participate in shaping them. Without believers in governance, those unfamiliar with Christian values will determine the country’s fate, including that of Christians,” Kumuyi warned.
He encouraged Christians in politics and aspiring leaders to uphold virtues and values that align with their faith, ensuring their actions bring positive change.
Citing Biblical examples such as Joseph, Pastor Kumuyi advised Christians to emulate exemplary leaders from the past whenever they assume political office. He emphasized that this approach would foster political sanity and unity in the nation.
“Christians should not only participate in politics but should also lead with integrity and purpose. Like Joseph in the Bible, they must hold on to their faith, make meaningful contributions, and fulfill the purpose of their roles in politics,” Kumuyi added.
On the upcoming retreat, Pastor Kumuyi expressed optimism, saying: “This event is a time for reflection on the past, present, and future. It’s an opportunity for transformation in our lives, families, and nation. We anticipate miracles, deliverance, and a turning point for our nation.”
He highlighted the success of the GCK over the years, noting that it has been a platform for breakthroughs and spiritual blessings.
“God has promised us all things under heaven, and we trust that He will prove Himself mightily as we gather for this year’s climax,” he concluded.
