The people who do not think about heaven always think about worldly properties.

— William F. Kumuyi (b. 1941), Gründer und Leiter des Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Evangelist und Buchautor

Topics: Eternity & Hope Beyond Death, Money & Possessions

William F. Kumuyi

Der nigerianische Prediger und frühere Mathematikdozent (* 1941) gründete die Deeper Life Bible Church, die sich von Lagos aus zu einer der größten evangelikal-pfingstlichen Freikirchen Afrikas entwickelte. Er steht für weltweite Evangelisation, einen bescheidenen Lebensstil und eine rigorose Heiligungslehre, die seiner Bewegung wegen strenger Verhaltens- und Kleidungsregeln jedoch auch Kritik wegen Gesetzlichkeit einbrachte. Für Bibelleser fordern seine Auslegungen zu einer kompromisslosen persönlichen Nachfolge und geistlichen Disziplin jenseits materieller Wohlstandstheologien heraus.

Death in its substance has been removed, and only the shadow of it remains… Nobody is afraid of a shadow, for a shadow cannot block a man’s pathway for even a moment. The shadow of a dog can’t bite; the shadow of a sword can’t kill.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
