Pastor William Kumuyi, who founded the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, said that no General Overseer should hand over a church to his son.
Kumuyi made this statement while responding to questions about who would lead the church if he were not there.
In a video that is now trending, Kumuyi said the church belongs to Jesus Christ, not to any one person.
Kumuyi explained that people wondering if he would give the church to one of his sons were mistaken because the ministry is not his to give.
He said, “It’s the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and nobody has the right to hand it over to his son.
“Many people are speculating, Is he going to hand over the church to any of his sons? They were searching for his first son and his second son, asking where they were. Where do they live? Or is he not going to hand over the church?
“Well, it’s not his church. And because it’s not his church, Jesus said upon this rock, I will build my church. Jesus said it’s His church and not Peter’s church; it is nobody’s church.”
The cleric said leadership of the church must be guided by the will of God, not family succession.
