Drawing from Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world,” Pastor Kumuyi emphasized the importance of transformation through God’s grace. He recounted his childhood experiences, growing up in a home where frequent conflicts between his parents left a lasting impression.

“My father spoke and my mother spoke back, and she knew that he was going to fight her. And I said if marriage was like this, I was not going to marry,” Kumuyi recalled. The constant strife convinced him that marriage was not for him.
The situation worsened when his father took additional wives, leading Kumuyi to confront the disparity between his religious teachings and his father’s actions.

Kumuyi’s perspective changed dramatically after he became genuinely born again.
