Conclusion
While we don’t doubt these powerful pastors and preachers, we know that most men of God in the country get their powers through dubious means especially joining secret societies and occult groups in a bid to make money. No matter what, the main message of Christianity is Christ. We urge followers to remain steadfast in their faith in the Lord and keep watch as to discern who is a real or fake man of God.

I am sorry, the writer made a mistake. Deeper Life Bible Church was established in 1973, and not in 1989. The write up about W.F Kumuyi was too shallow. These are one of the few pastors that brought real miracles in the early 1980s when Pastor Idahosa and Obadare were still reigning, even before Redeemed Christian Church gained momentum, and he is still one of the best Pastor, if not the best pastor in the world. I would appreciate if you can do a thorough research about Kumuyi before you put up this incomplete story about him.
