The
leadership of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry has suspended the
son of the General Superintendent of the church and his wife, John
and Love Kumuyi from carrying out any activity in the church over
their recent controversial wedding in Jamaica.
John
and Love wedded in Jamaica on 15 June, 2013 and thousands of members
of the church have reacted sharply while condemning the wedding gown
worn by the wife and other aspects of the wedding that were at
variance with the church’s standard.
Love
was arrayed in flowing gown with a veil to match, while lots of
people said her hair wasn’t natural and that she applied lipstick
as part of the make-up.
Also
at issue was the hiring of a Limousine which conveyed the couple to
their destination after the wedding. And a huge cake was cut during
the wedding contrary to the church’s tradition.
Due
to the myriad of controversies generated by the wedding on social
media, Facebook, especially by members of Deeper Life, the church
decided to place the couple on suspension to give them time to pray
and seek forgiveness from God for their action.
On
Saturday, at Deeper Life’s monthly miracle and revival programme
held at the Deeper Life Conference Centre, DLCC, Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway, John and Love’s suspension from church work was
announced to the over 50,000 Deeper Life faithful at the event by
Pastor Philip Oluwi, a key leader in the church.
Oluwi,
certainly is acting on the instruction from the General
Superintendent of the church, Pastor William Kumuyi, to suspend the
couple for the embarrassment they brought upon the church during the
wedding, emphasizing that the standard of Deeper Life regarding
wedding and moderacy had not changed.
“The couple has apologised to the church for the embarrassing way the
wedding was conducted.

Apology after the crime. But do you throw away those fabulous pictures depicting the crime? of-course not. The pictures are a reminded of what they really wanted but could not have due to church regulations. Whoever told them to sin first and apologize later was a genius. That is if you call wearing a beautiful wearing gown and suit on your wedding day a sin.
