During a recent sermon at the Deeper Life Bible Church, the General Superintendent, Dr. William Folohunso Kumuyi, urged Christians to reconsider their approach to offering by prioritizing assistance to the poor and unemployed in their communities over contributions to the church.
Highlighting the importance of aiding those in need, Pastor Kumuyi emphasized the need to balance church development with humanitarian efforts, stressing that while building churches is commendable, neglecting the plight of the less privileged is unacceptable.
He recounted an anecdote of a preacher who redirected offerings towards supporting the impoverished within the congregation’s vicinity, illustrating the importance of extending assistance beyond the church walls.
Pastor Kumuyi urged believers to allocate a portion of their financial resources to alleviate the suffering of their neighbors, emphasizing the ethical imperative of addressing immediate human needs.
Furthermore, he emphasized the significance of prioritizing assistance to both church members and non-members alike, emphasizing the importance of community outreach and compassion.
In concluding his message, Pastor Kumuyi underscored the need for a balanced approach, advocating for both church development and compassionate outreach to the less fortunate, aligning with the core principles of Christian charity and service to humanity.
