Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, stressed the need of genuine grace in a believer’s life in a sermon during the Monday Bible Study.

Pastor Kumuyi highlighted that while God’s grace has appeared to all men, it requires individual acceptance and a genuine desire for change. He pointed out that many profess to have grace but lack the evidence of its influence in their lives.
“The grace of God teaches us to deny all ungodliness and live soberly in the world,” he stated, urging members to reject lawlessness, carelessness, and sinfulness.
A central theme of his message was the necessity of resisting temptation. “If you don’t know how to say No to temptation, you don’t have grace,” Pastor Kumuyi asserted.
He criticized those who, despite claiming to have grace, continue to live fleshly, polluted, and sinful lives. He stressed the importance of denying worldly lusts and ungodly tendencies.
Furthermore, Pastor Kumuyi condemned behaviors that lead others into sin, particularly through immoral activities and ungodly influences.
He called for repentance and a unified effort to uphold God’s teachings, stating, “If you are the one who always pushes other people to sin by immoral activities… we are not working together then. You must repent because you don’t have the grace of God in you.”
He concluded with a challenge for self-examination and transformation. “Have you convinced yourself of your bad habits and shown concern about your sinful way of living?” he asked.
Pastor Kumuyi urged believers to allow the grace of God to transform their lives, ensuring that their actions reflect a genuine commitment to holiness and godliness.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
