At a time when many people are losing hope because of the current challenges of life, Pastor William Folurunsho Kumuyi has proposed the ultimate solution to man’s needs.
Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, declared that faith in Jesus Christ holds the key to the problems that overwhelm many people today. He was speaking while announcing this year’s National December Retreat of the church.
He said that the theme of the Retreat: ‘The Final Solution – Jesus’, is the most assured means by which people can experience a turnaround for the better in the challenges they face today. “This is the promise of the December Retreat, this year,” he explained.
The retreat commences on Saturday, December 21st and ends on Christmas Day. It holds in all local government areas of the country, in nearly 50 African countries, and the rest of the world.
In Lagos, the Retreat will hold at the Deeper Life Conference Centre, Km 42, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Pastor Kumuyi announced a special invitation to all and sundry, quoting Jesus Christ who beckoned on all people: “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.
He noted that every solution proffered by Jesus Christ does not just momentarily solve the problems of men, but keeps them in that blessing. He was optimistic that whatever spiritual or physical challenge is brought to Jesus at the Retreat will receive His loving attention and solution.
He urged members of the church and all invited guests not to allow anything, however desirable, to hinder them from receiving what God had prepared for them at the Retreat.
“The retreat period offers a great opportunity for drawing closer to God and preparing every heaven-bound saint to keenly await the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Pastor Kumuyi said.
The General Superintendent emphasised the need for all men to become spiritually awake and committed to the service of God to enable them receive the reward of the faithful when their time on earth is over.
Pastor Kumuyi will minister personally at the Retreat from the Deeper Life Conference Centre, in Lagos, where thousands of members of the church and guests in the Lagos area are expected to congregate.
From there, his messages and ministrations will be broadcast real time via satellite transmission to all the other Retreat venues in Nigeria and abroad.
The church said it has taken steps to ensure that the smooth flow of traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is unaffected throughout the duration of the retreat.
It also announced that transport arrangements have been concluded to ensure that those attending the retreat are transported freely to and from the venue, from all corners of Lagos metropolis.
