Stop brainwashing members with ‘sowing seed’, Kumuyi tells preachers

Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Christian Life Ministry, has said that preachers should stop the act of exploiting their members under the guise of sowing seed.

Kumuyi made the call during a special program titled ‘Ministerial Renewal’ for church ministers and workers worldwide via satellite broadcast, which followed a Ministerial Conference held earlier during one of the Global Crusade with Kumuyi, GCK, editions.

He made it clear that members should receive assistance from their preachers by finding solutions to their problems rather than being exploited through seed planting.

He also instructed participants to avoid everything that did not reflect Christ’s lifestyle while He was on earth carrying out His ministerial duties.

Kumuyi said, “Elijah added value to the people that are low and those widows that cannot pay back. That is what the anointing does in our lives.

“You add value to people; to those who are down, raise them up, to those who are poor.

“There are preachers; they take the little that the widows have. In our nation here, they say if you sow this seed, the Lord will multiply it a hundredfold.

“Let us be sincere, and if you are a preacher like that and you are here, let’s talk; those widows have next to nothing, then we preachers brainwash them and we tell them… And those poor widows, what can they do?

“They just believe every word we speak and all they have, inheritance from their late husbands they put at the apostles’ feet, and after they have done that, ‘God bless you, God bless you,’ everybody can say that, and they (widows) go back home.

“Examine yourself, all those people that have given everything as their prophet told them in our land. Where are they today? How are they feeling? How are their children doing? How are they sending their children to school?

“Instead of the prophet that has millions already; instead of him looking for the widows whose children are not in school and sponsoring them just for God’s glory, we don’t have that.

“We only have those that take from the widows and render them poorer, and they are getting richer and richer.”

Kumuyi expressed concern about how church founders are getting richer at the expense of their members.

“The preachers of today are getting richer at the expense of the members of their church. Let somebody speak out; tell our prophets, preachers, and bishops that this ought not to be.

“In the case of Elisha in the transformation of the nation, he added supernatural supply to the suffering widows,” he added.
