Budgetpartof your offerings to feed poor, unemployed Kumuyi tells Christians

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Dr. William Folohunso Kumuyi, has advised Christians to budget parts of their offerings to help the poor and unemployed in their communities.

Kumuyi, who made the statement in a video that has gone viral, was heard telling his church congregation that Christians should not spend all their money on building churches but also help their poor neighbours who cant afford basic life needs.

Kumuyi narrated how a preacher had instructed his members to give monies meant for offering to the poor and unemployed people around them.

Recall that a controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze, had rebuked some Nigerian pastors over their ostentatious lifestyle while their members lived in abject poverty.

Kumuyi noted that it is good to build the church, but that while building, Christians must remember their neighbours dying of hunger. He said, Look at all this offering were collecting. This church has silver and gold.

I learned of a preacher somewhere, who was having their church service. And he said, Now were going to collect the offering. If you have N10, 000, N20, 000, or N50,000, raise your hand, and they will be faithful.

Then he stood up and said, “That N10, 000, N20,000, and N50,000 go to the poor in your community. All the offering is not just for the church, there are poor, unemployed people around. There are indigent people around. We will build ours; but while youre building, your neighbours are dying.

Your neighbour, who does not have anything, your sisters, and your brother have nothing to send their children to school.

“We built DLICC (Deeper Life International Conference Centre) with all the offerings we could build. And we can now be at ease and allow our members to die of hunger and to be destroyed because they have nothing and we have the money.

And what if this church, like we used to do in the olden days, in the good old days, that we reserve some amount of money for charity? That we allocate some amount of money for building DLICC, and the district church, and the people were building for are dying of hunger, malnutrition, and starvation.

Lets budget part of the money, millions of our currency, to take care of the people. We should not spend all our money on a building of a church that will not be raptured when Christ comes, because Christ is coming, he noted.

Recall that recently, it was reported how one of a family of six died after eating poisonous amala made from cassava pills. Similarly, a popular online news medium reported how a father macheted his son over a portion of rice.

These sad incidents are coming on the heels of economic hardship facing the country, which has greatly impacted the cost of living and rising inflation figures in Nigeria.
