The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, on Wednesday, said same-sex marriage is at variance with the command of Jesus Christ to Christians.
He spoke at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, KM 48 Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, during the opening ceremony of a joint event of the Global Crusade with Kumuyi and the 2023 National December Retreat tagged: “Emmanuel.”
PUNCH reported on Tuesday that Pope Francis had granted permission for priests to bestow blessings upon same-sex marriage couples.
But Kumuyi in his address, asserted that the command of Christ Jesus was for a man to get married to a woman.
He said, “The Lord Jesus Christ told us before he left that we should go to the world, teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. He even says heaven and earth shall pass away but his words will not pass away.
“We stand in obedience to Christ and submissive to him and we carry on the works of Christ that said a man and a woman should be joined together in marriage until death do us part,” Kumuyi declared.
Speaking on the essence of the Yuletide, he said it was a period to celebrate the impacts and the sacrifice that Jesus had made for the whole world.
