Founder and General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams F. Kumuyi, has said that there is more good than evil in spite of the seeming preponderance of noxious activities around the world.
Pastor Kumuyi, who is in Uyo, Akwa Ibom capital for a Crusade tagged The Wonders of The Cross, said this while fielding questions from journalists during a press conference at Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo on Wednesday.
While stating that it is normal for a little evil to be more pronounced in the face of more good in the society, Kumuyi tasked Christians to keep on preaching the Gospel for God to raise more good people who would be profitable to the world.
“You know when one person does evil, probably using the internet to do that evil, it is more pronounced than when a hundred people are quietly living a good life. Generally, we don’t see the positives. We don’t see the hundreds of people who are living their normal, quiet and profitable lives for the country. But we seem to highlight the evil that a few people are doing.
“We keep on preaching the gospel believing that as God shows His love to everyone- the good and the bad, that God will bring in more people who will be profitable for the country. We may not be able to purge evil completely from every country, the more good people rise, I believe things are going to be better for each country, for our country and this state in particular,” he said.
He further urged Christians to stay in readiness of the second coming of Jesus Christ, which he said would happen suddenly when people least expect.
He said “as to the coming of the Lord, Christ himself spoke about His coming again. Even other religion spoke about Christ coming. His first coming is historical. You can read about it in secular history. We know that Christ is coming again. As to the date, the time, the year, it is in the hand of God. If he told us everything that he knows, he would not be God and we would not.
The pastor explained that the Global Crusade, which is holding in Uyo from Thursday, November 25, 2021 through Tuesday, November 30, 2021, is aimed at “exalting Christ for what he has done for humanity and also to let the people know that this is what the cross of Christ implies and the benefit we are to receive as the result of what Christ has done as we believe in God through him.”
The clergyman said that many lives have been touched in different parts of the world in previous editions of the crusade.
“For individuals who have been healed, delivered, saved and lives turned around, I believe that those individuals and their families have got tangible results. Take, for instance, person who has been a drunkard and not profitable for himself and for the family, his life turned around and now he is living a normal life; he is a good father, a good person in the community. That is a tangible result for that man.
“We have testimonies from the United States of America; we’ve had from the UK; we’ve had from other parts of Europe; we’ve had from different part of Africa; what great things the Lord has done for these people and for little children,” he stated.
