In a recent sermon titled "Purging And Preserving The Church From The World’s Corruption," Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, admonished believers who hide their sins, specifically addressing those who lock their phones to conceal immoral activities from their spouses.
"Some people don’t repent of their sins and immorality; they just praise and worship God," Kumuyi stated. "Everything should start with repenting of sins before acts of worship. You cannot say Jesus is your Lord when you are guilty of covering up your sins. Some people keep their phones so well with locks and pin-codes so that their spouses will not have access to them to see the evil things therein. And such people call Christ their Lord and Saviour!"
Kumuyi emphasized that true repentance and the abandonment of sinful behaviors are crucial for genuine worship and fellowship with God.
He urged those who have been disciplined for their sins to fully embrace repentance and uphold Christ's standards. "After repenting from sin and the discipline is lifted, you must ensure that you uphold the standard of the lofty life of Christ. The old leaven of sin that brought the discipline must be done away with."
Addressing issues of malice and division within the church, Kumuyi cautioned against harboring resentment. "Don’t take it out on anyone who did not visit you when you were disciplined. If you are, then you are not restored yet, you are still a sinner. You have to do away with politics and division in the church."
Kumuyi concluded by reminding believers of the personal responsibility in seeking God's forgiveness. "To go back to Calvary and plead for cleansing in the blood of the Lamb is what you must do by yourself. The pastor who disciplined you cannot do it for you. After this, the road between you and God is clear, and you can enjoy the benefit of fellowship with God."
