Deeper Christian Life Ministry General Superintendent, Pastor William Kumuyi, has explained how his wife, late Abiodun Kumuyi died.
Pastor Kumuyi and his late wife, Abiodun were married for 28 years, and was blessed with two sons: Jeremiah and John.
The cleric, while recounting the incident blamed himself for distancing himself from home.
Recall that Kumuyi’s wife, late Abiodun Kumuyi died on April 11, 2009, at the age of 57, after a brief illness.
Pastor Kumuyi told the congregation at the Global Workers’ Conference at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, that the devil took advantage of his absence while he was ministering at the church’s retreat that day.
He said, “I was preaching here on Saturday, 11th April 2009, and the devil worked on my absence. My wife was at home because she had a challenge. I was driving out, the devil came, but I did not remember to close the spiritual door that nobody will sneak into that place (his house) and when I finished the Faith Clinic that morning, I received a message that my beloveth wife was gone.
“I ran to IBTC (home); I saw it had happened and I met some people there; they were praying and the Lord assured me that I should let it go, let that go, don’t bother about it,” .
He, however, pledged to avenge his wife’s death by going all out in ministry with a determination of disallowing the devil from stealing from him again.
He added; The cleric noted that the death of his wife marked the end of a painful chapter in his life, adding that the devil stood no chance of repeating such a tragedy in his household or ministry again.
“I let it (his wife’s death) go, but from that day, I said ‘that one happened, this other one will no more happen.’
“Since that time, for me to revenge on the devil, I have gone to many places since she left, I have covered most of the local governments in Nigeria, I have gone to almost all the nations of Africa, I have gone to all the continents of the world, blind eyes have opened, deaf ears have opened.
“The lame had risen up and walk and now I am getting to another level, the dead has now been raised and so I have come to tell you, those that have gone have gone, water under the bridge that has gone is gone, all that has gone has gone, now in your family you will be in charge.
“Anywhere I go, now I will be in charge. Nothing will be allowed to steal anything away,”.
After his wife’s demise, Kumuyi
remarried in London on October 13, 2010.
