Pastor William Kumuyi, General Superintendent of Deeper Life Christian Ministry, has urged preachers to stop exploiting their members under the pretense of sowing seeds.
Kumuyi made the declaration during a special Programme christened ‘Ministerial Renewal’ for church ministers and workers across the global.
According to him, “Elijah added value to the people that are low and those widows that cannot pay back. That is what the anointing does in our lives.
You add value to people; to those who are down raise them up, those who are poor.
There are preachers, they take the little that the widows have. In our nation here, they say if you sow this seed the Lord will multiply it a hundredfold.
Let us be sincere, and if you are a preacher like that and you are here let’s talk; those widows have next to nothing, then we preachers we brainwash them and we tell them…and those poor widows what can they do?
They just believe every word we speak and all they have, inheritance from their late husbands they put at the apostles’ feet, and after they have done that ‘God bless you, God bless you’ everybody can say that, and they (widows) go back home.
Examine yourself, all those people that have given everything as their prophet told them in our land, where are they today, how are they feeling, how are their children doing, how are they sending their children to school?
Instead of the prophet that has millions already; instead of him looking for the widows who their children are not in school and sponsor them just for God’s glory, we don’t have that
We only have those that take from the widows and render them poorer and they are getting richer and richer.
The preachers of today are getting richer at the expense of the members of their church. Let somebody speak out, tell our prophets, preachers, and bishops that this ought not to be.
In the case of Elisha in the transformation of the nation, he added supernatural supply to the suffering widows.”
