The book, titled ‘Kumuyi: Defender of the Faith’, is written to honour Pastor Kumuyi and showcase the wonderful works of God that he has done.
According to the Chairman of the book’s editorial board, Pastor Philip Oluwi, during a press briefing on Monday, September 6, 2021, at the Deeper Life Bible Church headquarters, Gbagada, Lagos, “Up till the time this initiative of writing the biography was conceived and executed, no full-length book had been put together on the life and works of the general superintendent.
“This was not because we lacked the capacity, resources or pool of talents to do so; it was purely based on the strict policy of Pastor Kumuyi not to project himself or his private life in ministry above the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“He would rather have Jesus lifted up and use him to keep drawing all men to Himself as captured in the scriptures, than beaming the focus of popularity or basking in the euphoria of the successes the Lord has allowed him to achieve.”
Pastor Oluwi mentioned that the full-length book on the revered preacher was a way of documenting some of the remarkable, landmark achievements God has provided through the Founder for others to emulate.
The biography` is co-authored by Professor Tunde Opeibi, Mr Segun Babatope, Mr Emeka Izeze, and Mr Banji Ojewale.
The public presentation will have, as the chairman, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State as the chief host.
