The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, has declared his intention to avenge the tragic death of his late wife, Abiodun Kumuyi, which he said was caused by the devil’s intervention.
Speaking at the Global Workers’ Conference held at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, Pastor Kumuyi recounted how the devil took advantage of his absence from home while he was ministering at the church’s retreat on that fateful day.
“I was preaching here on Saturday, 11th April 2009, and the devil worked on my absence. My wife was at home because she had a challenge. I was driving out, the devil came, but I did not remember to close the spiritual door that nobody will sneak into that place (my house), and when I finished the Faith Clinic that morning, I received a message that my beloved wife was gone,” Pastor Kumuyi narrated.
Abiodun Kumuyi, who married Pastor Kumuyi on 13th September 1980, died on 11th April 2009 at the age of 57 after a brief illness. Their marriage, which lasted for nearly 28 years, was blessed with two children: Jeremiah and John.
Reflecting on her death, Pastor Kumuyi expressed deep pain over the incident but refused to allow it to dampen his spirit or slow down his evangelical mission. Instead, he described the next phase of his ministry as a direct “revenge” against the devil for taking his wife.
“Since that time, for me to revenge on the devil, I have gone to many places since she left. I have covered most of the local governments in Nigeria, I have gone to almost all the nations of Africa, I have gone to all the continents of the world.
Blind eyes have opened, deaf ears have opened, the lame have risen up and walked, and now I am getting to another level: the dead have now been raised. So I have come to tell you, those that have gone have gone, water under the bridge that has gone is gone, all that has gone has gone. Now in your family, you will be in charge,” Pastor Kumuyi declared.
Pastor Kumuyi insisted that the tragedy that befell his family must never be allowed to repeat itself. “I let it (my wife’s death) go, but from that day, I said ‘that one happened, this other one will no more happen.’ Anywhere I go, now I will be in charge. Nothing will be allowed to steal anything away,” he emphasised.
Pastor Kumuyi, who remarried in London on 13th October 2010, vowed to continue his global evangelical work with renewed strength and determination. According to him, the devil would not be given any further opportunity to disrupt his household or ministry.
The highly respected cleric called on Christians worldwide to remain vigilant and not allow the devil to gain any foothold in their lives or families. He urged believers to remain prayerful and steadfast in faith.
This latest declaration from Pastor Kumuyi is a powerful reminder of his unwavering commitment to his faith and his refusal to let personal tragedy derail his ministry’s mission to spread the gospel across the world.
