I find the following April 07, 2011 article very interesting. I’m wondering, why is it that some people want to know who the next Moses will be (Joshua) and yet turn deaf ears to the living Moses. But the argument is quite true that pastor W.F Kumuyi hasn’t named a successor yet – even in his old age.
Pastor W.F Kumuyi is the General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) with headquarters in Nigeria. According to the data available to me, his ministry has over one million active members in Nigeria alone. Additionally, the impact of his ministry is global. He is one of the most respected and trusted men of God in the world today. He is a septuagenarian. He is a gifted teacher and preacher of the undiluted word of God. I have followed his ministry since 1986 to date. I have never been a member of his ministry but I have listened to his tapes and watched his video seminars and programs on the internet many times. I attended his programs in 1986-1987 in Lagos a couple of times. I use this medium to congratulate Pastor Kumuyi on his remarriage to a long time member of his church. I pray that he will find joy in it.
I am aware that he has many pastors under him. I am not aware that he has named a successor to take over from him after his demise. At his age, the individual who will take over from him as the next General Superintendent of DCLM should have been named or known to the public because the Bible says “the days of our years are threescore years and ten (seventy years) – or even, if by reason of strength, fourscore years (eighty years); yet is their pride (in additional years) only labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away.” Ps. 90:10 (Amplified Bible).
History teaches us that the indigenous churches in Nigeria were embroiled in leadership tussle after the death of the founders of those churches. After Pastor Bilewu Oshoffa died in an automobile accident, several lawsuits were filed by ministers in Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) and each plaintiff in those cases claimed that it was the will of God or the choice of Pastor Bilewu Oshoffa that he/she should become the next Pastor of CCC worldwide. The fight for the throne in CCC was so bad that an allegation of using charms by rival claimants to suppress one another was very rampant. The attendance of members of CCC has drastically reduced due in part to the leadership succession problem.
We have no control over death. The late Archbishop Benson Idahosa of the Church of God Mission was a rare breed who brought glamour, pomp and pageantry to the Charismatic movement in Nigeria. He was very instrumental in establishing the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria. He was known all over the world as a great minister of the gospel, a fearless statesman and an acknowledged faith healer. We fondly called him “Papa”. During my days in University of Benin, I attended some of his meetings and I was profoundly struck by his knowledge of the scriptures and wisdom and his boldness. He died suddenly and his death created a vacuum in Church of God Mission. In spite of many protests, his wife Margaret Idahosa was ordained as his successor. Some influential ministers and bishops of Church of God Mission under the late Idahosa left the Church of God Mission to set up their own ministries because they were dissatisfied with the choice of Margaret Idahosa. They argued that Papa would not have wanted his wife to succeed him. The problem was caused by the fact that the late Archbishop Idahosa did not publicly designate anyone as his successor prior to his death.
Recently, there was a serious legal battle for succession to the top position of Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria among senior pastors of that church following the expiration of the term of Rev. Wilson Badejo as the General Overseer. Although Foursquare Gospel Church is a Bible-believing church, that was not sufficient to abate the fight for leadership of the church in a court of law! Also and in 2010, there was a lawsuit in the Federal High Court Lagos for the control of the C.A.C churches worldwide between a faction led by Pastor Olusheye and another faction led by Pastor Akintola of CAC. In Canon law, the Roman Catholic Church provides for the election of a Pope. Under that law, once an incumbent Pope dies or resigns, the dean of the College of Cardinals called a conclave of all cardinals. The cardinals will then retire to a solitary place to seek the face of God and pray and elect a new Pope. This practice has worked for the Roman Catholic Church for centuries without any problem. The Charismatic Church can learn from the Catholic practice.
Deeper Christian Life Ministry emphasizes holiness more than anything else. God forbids that it should be torn apart after the departure of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi for his failure to designate a person to take over from him. It is not sufficient for Pastor Kumuyi to have groomed a person to take over from him. In addition, he must publicly mention the name of the person to the church so that there will be no doubt in the minds of the members of Deeper Life as to the new leader. Telling a would-be successor in secret that he is going to be the next successor is not sufficient. Even telling a group of very senior leaders of the church that a particular person has been designated as a successor may not be sufficient. By now, Pastor Kumuyi should have publicly addressed issues like how to appoint a successor to the leadership of DCLM, the duration of leadership i.e. whether it is for life or for fixed number of years {say five), and the removal of the successor for cause, among others.
Several years before Biblical Moses died, he had been publicly grooming Joshua to take over from him. The Israelites knew that Joshua would be the next leader after the death of Moses the man of God. Anyone reading the handwriting on the wall knows that the next leader of Living Faith World Outreach ministry will be Bishop Abioye or any of the two natural sons of Bishop David Oyedepo who are now pastors in his ministry. I was informed that Bishop David Oyedepo has made it clear that he did not want his wife to succeed him. In RCCG, there is not likely to be a major problem in choosing the next general overseer after the demise of the incumbent because the Governing Council is primarily responsible for taking major decisions in that church. However, there is likely to be a slight problem because the Governing Council does not take a decision unless all the members of the Governing Council agree. What if they do not all agree? I think that the safer thing to do is for the incumbent to name his successor to the Governing Council or to give several names to the Governing Council and demand that the members prayerfully choose one of the names as his successor.
Finally, I think Pastor W.F Kumuyi is a blessing to the Body of Christ in Nigeria. He taught me how to handle persecutions and, by the grace of God, I have remained a Christian in spite of my many trials and tribulations. I will hate to see the personality of this great minister of the gospel shred into pieces after his demise for failure to choose someone to succeed him. Pastor Kumuyi will go down in history as one of the greatest giants of the faith in Africa. Succession problem can be alleviated by having a document such as a bye law, charter or constitution that will clearly spell out the way a new leader will be chosen or elected. Also, every member of the church should have a copy of it. In today’s internet age, a copy of the bye- law/charter/articles/constitution of the church can be conspicuously placed on the church’s website for all members to read. The document, in my opinion should address succession to the top position in the church, among other issues. Leadership tussle in the church distracts from the primary duty of evangelism and creates unnecessary division and destruction in the church.
Success without a successor is failure. Pastor W.F. Kumuyi must act now.

That what cults operate like – the “supreme leader” anoints a successor and then everyone pretends it was God’s choice!
Akanwo O. Oyeleke

Brother, your thoughts are wonderful base on your literature reviews given so far. It is a wonderful research that is serious, and ratifying answers should be proffer. The Moses example you gave was excellent but lacks biblical basis. God himself told Moses to pick his successor. God himself name Samuel as the successor of Eli. God name David as the successor of Saul. And Jesus Himself Name his successor. A man has no moral right nor stand to choose his successor, especially if call of God. But if a Man calls himself like many ministers today, and some of there followers, then they can name their successors. you can’t do the work of the holy Spirit brother. Your Suggestion am sorry is totally proffer by the flesh and actually the arm of flesh shall fail. Jeremiah 17: 5-9 ;Romans 8:5-11. The examples you brought does not mean that when a man does a spectacle work he is call of God, or even if called of God, is he still standing with God?. Where you see tussles it is evident who is on the seat of that church. Is the flesh himself.
Nonetheless you can’t run ahead the holy spirit or God. God doesn’t run His church like a business venture, a private own organization or a worldly firm. Such decide their successors; by democracy, merit or no merit, cabal-ism, by tribal-sentiment etc. HE has patterns and principles, he is not a God of confusion. Even the election of Joshua as a successor was named by God.
If your advice will stand then, is good you stand with God and not by your emotions or educational research and universalism. Uzzah! even though a priest I think, in 2 Samuel 6:1-8 put fort his hand as an act of helping God, to support the ark of covenant from falling but he died instantly, but David was displeased. May be you are displeased like David? I advice you to take the steps of David he only consulted God and God told him the right thing to do. The ark of covenant cant be carried on cart but on shoulders of priests. So, are you advising Pastor kumuyi to do the same and the church die immediately?. Many churches u mentioned that had such problems or such experiences in tying to help God and not allowing God name the right successor, the results are glaring of such ministers and ministries. They can’t stand again the die with the overseer because, the originator, owner and sub-stainer is God himself.
Ask Pastor Adeboye how he came to RCCG, God told the founder about him and when it was time he name him, even though many did not accept it. But everything of God will prove it self with time. So you can sample the rest like the cases you mentioned.
On matter of the governing council that RCCG has the don’t have the moral right to choose a successor for Baba Adeboye nor even him himself if not God or else the work will die like Uzzah and other ministries died.
likewise Baba Kumuyi, he cant run ahead of God like you want him to. If God has chosen to keep him to this time then God will name the right successor.
And finally young man the age you mention, is the psalmist that said that. So, go back to scriptures and see exactly what God said in Genesis. God declared 120 years in Genesis 6:3 not seventy as u have quoted Brother. that quotation is of a person not what God declared.
Please this is not an argument but is the truth in Gods word about Gods work, and his assignment.
I counsel you to always search God’s word b4 you give a counsel it is very crucial. because it can mislead. God bless you.

The choice of who becomes the next GS of Deeper Life Bible Church shouldn’t be the concern of anybody. Pastor Kumuyi is not a baby in GOD’S hand as not to know when the choice will be made and public declared to the congregation. Mind you, try as much as possible to to compare him with any other pastor or leader. If u care so much about him then u pray for him. May I should ask you to go and find out if the successors of Pastor E A Adeboye and Bishop D. Oyedepo have been named or made public. I beg u mind ur biz. ok.

u are right thejourney, one can not overthrown God just bcus he’s popular or thinks he’s too spiritual to decide on issues like this. Every bible successor were ordained rightly except to those outside biblical injunction. pastor kumuyi is man of God, so i don’t see reasons why he shud just pick mr.B as successor witout the knwlegde of God.thats far 4rm him. SIR, MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD LEAD UR DECISIONS IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

Don’t sentence the man to death. What’s the haste for? God dwells in eternity and the way Deeper Life started is beyond man’s explanation in the first place. We are talking about a focused man of God who wins the respect of everyone by never playing to the gallery. In his recent messages, Pastor Kumuyi has been challenging his disciples (pastors) to rise up to responsibility. God is sorting things out. The man is doing His part I opine.

PASTOR KUMIYI IS A MAN WHOSE LIFE IS CONTROLLED BY THE ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE, AND HE WILL NEVER LISTEN TO ANY COUNSEL FROM ANYBODY NO MATTER HOW SPIRITUAL, EDUCATED OR HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL THE PERSON MAY BE. EVEN ELITE AND INTELLIGENTSIA OF THIS WORLD RESPECTED HIM. AND I DON’T THINK IT IS YOUR CONCERN TO BUSY CONSIDERING THE WAY GOD WILL WORK. BEFORE GOD CALLS KUMUYI, HE KNOWS WHO HIS SUCCESSOR WOULD BE IF CHRIST TARRIES

Mr. The Holy Spirit is the Chief Executive of any living church so, it should be runned by man-made constitution but the Holy Bible. You explained the scriptures wrongly because God Himself chosed real successors of His servants and the man of God(Kumuyi) must not do otherwise because some fleshly-led people wants it that way. He started in the Spirit and shouldn’t end it in the flesh. You just focus on how to strife to enter in at the strait gate and stop bothering yourself about who succeeds who. If you are spiritual, you would never advise any living church to learn from the Roman Catholic.

If you love God so much, don’t comment on d matter you don’t know about, but if you are confuse about an issue, take it to God in prayer & pray for rapture not for successor but for living churches to partake in rapture.

Having read this wonderful article, I concluded that the writer of this article really know this great man of God, Pastor W.F Kumuyi. I must sincerely say that this man of God has been a blessing to me also because most of the members of my family and I were saved through his ministry.However, I believe that the Almighty God that has called him must have given him method in which the pastor would choose his successor. Finally, my prayers for pastor Kumuyi is that the devil would not destroy what God has used him to build even now and when he is gone in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Christ is the head of church: He knows when to retire any of his Ambassadors back to His base, and how He directs the affairs of His church is above any human comprehension. We can’t help God. Remember the incident around fallen “the Ark of Convenant”. Also I believe strongly that Pastor Adeniran of the Apostolic Faith and Pastors Adeboye, RCCG, Kumuyi, DLBM, Adeyemi, Daystar, Badejo, 4Square, Ayo Oritsejafor, Word of Life, Okonkwo, Trem, and Abiara, CAC are the selected end time pastors who emphasize holy living above all blessings any Christian may have received from God. In order words, it is more important to deliberate on a ticket to heaven because the end time is eminient.

Blvd it not a matter of debate or argument. Jesus said I will build my Church not our Church and in the new testament there a principle whereby the Church function. Church of Jesus Christ can not be run like company, agency, societies or organisations. The Churches of Jesus universal are not Denomination or religious sect. But they are called out ones, 1pt. 2:9, Col.1:13, 21-23, Eph.1:10-18. Not only that but He has given us Holy Spirit as guidance and teacher. Jn. 16:12-13. No G.0 nor G.S in d Bible. But plurality of Elders(Bishops) these are d Overseers of d church locally and Jesus is Head of His Church overseing all by His Spirit thru d appointed Elders called Bishops and Deacons are the are those admistered material aspect of each local church. Titus 1:1-16, Acts.20:28. Lack of our understand of how Jesus build and administer His church make us to become d owner of His properties and we are now tussle on what does not belong to us. We that are born again are Christs not material things and we a Steward in this world. 1cor. 4:1-2, 3-15. May God have Mercy on us all. Amen.:

Psalm 90 is frm Moses d man of God. the lif span of man frm d time of Moses was 70_80 yrs; d writer is not totally wrong & shd nt b overblamed. i need to say that some years back it was reveald to me that pst W.F Kumuyi will still live up to 15 more years. At dat time, he was still in his sixties. T L Orsbon was born in 1923 and still alive. Even if God does not give Kumuyi a successor “G.S”, d gospel will stil b proclaimd even more effectively by those in whom he has impactd, one of whom i am.

Pastor Kumuyi is God’s own jewel. He may not even experienece physical death. Even if he will, and before then, the LORD would speak to him to put his house in order. It is not right to say that he does not listen to others. He may tell them to keep on praying, knowing that only the Lord’s will shall be done.

the writer’s suggestion is of utmost importance. but as we know, kumuyi, if i’m not mistaken is a man who always listen to hear from God. and so at the appoited time, this revelation will come. announcing the successor now may be distracting. God bless you!

Even Christ,before He ascended to heaven assured the church of His successor,the Holy Spirit, ”I’ll not leave you as orphans…”John 14:18. Also, John15:26-27 and John 16:13-15 speaks of the roles of the Holy Spirit towards the church. Beside this,in another development,Christ appointed a human overseer or His successor of the church when He said. ”…..you are Peter,and on this rock I will build My church…..” Jesus was quite aware that Peter was one day going to die and leave this earth back to heaven to meet Him(Jesus) but the Holy Spirit,the devine Leader of the church would appoint human overseers in succession throughout the ages till He(Christ) comes again. Your adice therefore to pastor Kumuyi of the DCLM is right and timely

I strongly believe in the vine word of God. I quite remember my Bible never specified any angle of the WORD where Prophets of God chose successors. John 19:11; We have no power to choose unless is from above. God only know BUT till He gives His word to His Prophet W. F. Kumyi. I think he better not in haste choose before a Saul appears again in God’s Kingdom for God needs a finisher not Just a racer!!!
May God Grant W. F. Kumyi the grace and spearhead his ministry from Grace to Grace.

Dear writer, you have spoken so well, since pastor kumuyi is a man of God, l believe he might have settle all these issue with God, and beside before any leadership is been appointed in the new testament people of God really pray, and l don’t think is necessary to make it so public and beside that nobody know the convenat he and his God had together. Pastor kumuyi is very spiritual, holy, educated so l don’t think this is a problem at all. Even when he started the issue of test before marriage many people against him but now l believe couple with what is going on presently in the worid at large, they will now understand the reason why. God vividly spoke to moses to chose his successor so l belive when it is time God will direct him. Thanks for your concel. God bless you

The ministries that will continue to function or disfunction after the dead of the GO, is to the glory of God. The scripture can not be broken ….every other thing will pass away but the word will never pass away…..the word are still being preached in all the break away branches …DLBC, LFC, RCCG, etc all broke out from some where

My dear, thanks for your concerned but be informed that Pastor W F Kumuji is not in the league of those leaders you refer to as ‘pastors’. He like biblical Job has proofed his calling and by his works he is known as God true vessel of honor so far. Leave spiritual things to be handle spiritually of which God is the director. The problem with those ‘christian leaders’ you want him to emulate by naming his successor is greed and covetousness as a result which God may have left them. One thing is to be called by God and another is to obey and work according to the calling. Remember, many are called but few are chosen. Kumuji is today’s father of faith, holiness, righteousness and the truth hence God will never let his ministry down but will act in due time if need arise.
ALTHOUGH THE WRITER CLAIMS TO BE A CHRISTIAN,YET IT IS DISHEARTENING THAT HE UNDER-RATED THE MINISTRY OF HOLY GHOST IN THE LEADERSHIP SELECTION FOR A LIVING CHURCH.
