Ogoni Rivers
Pastor Kumuyi
Several cultists operating in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria have
reportedly turned a new leaf after being touched by the preaching of
Pastor Kumuyi.
Five thousand cultists in Ogoni land, Rivers state, have on Friday
night, renounced their membership of different cult groups and accepted
Christ as Lord and Saviour at a peace and unity crusade organised by
different denominations in conjunction with Deeper Christian Life
Ministry in Bori , Rivers state.
The cultists who gave their lives to Christ shortly after a sermon
delivered by the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church,
Pastor Williams Folorunso Kumuyi blamed politicians for using them for
their selfish goals after which they were dumped to suffer hardship.
One of the church leaders, who spoke to NAIJ after the crusade,
said Pastor Kumuyi had earlier met with religious leaders, traditional
rulers, youths and community leaders where he asked them to set aside
their differences and harness their weaknesses and strengths in order to
enthrone peace so as to attract development to the region.
At the meeting which was held at the convocation arena of the Ken
Saro Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori, Pastor Kumuyi made it clear that peace and
development could only thrive, if the Ogoni people learn to forgive each
other, forget their past differences and determine to work together for
a better and prosperous life for their people.
He said animosity and hatred could only breed communal clashes,
violence and distrust even as he sued for peaceful co-existence among
the various clans that make up the Ogoni land.
Pastor Kumuyi assured them that with peace and unity in Ogoni land,
God will turn the hearts of government at all levels towards the oil
rich community which will lead to progress and prosperity.
He said that when God must have finished doing His wonders in
Ogoni, the people will look at their past like a child’s play; saying
that the best of their past will be the least in all their endeavours.
