Pastor William Kumuyi, the 82-year-old founder and General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has stated that he has no intentions of retiring and is prepared to continue his journey, likening it to a relay race.
He arrived in Benin City, Edo State, for a six-day ‘Global Crusade with Kumuyi’ event titled “Loose Him, Let Him Go,” taking place at Garrick Memorial Grammar School, Ekhewan Road, Benin City.
Speaking to reporters in the VIP Lounge at the Benin Airport, he expressed optimism that the conference would have a positive impact on both the physical and spiritual well-being of the attendees.
When questioned about potential retirement after years of leading the ministry, he responded, “If you rest when you are not fatigued, if you rest when your vision is becoming clearer, if you rest when you see farther than you did 50 years ago, you will not be considered a wise person.”
“I’m getting the vision, more anointing, strength, and power. I can run a relay race today more than I could 50 years ago. When I start getting tired, I can start thinking of retirement. But for now, the vision is coming so fast that I’m trying to catch up. So, no retirement yet.
“I have great remembrance of what took place in earlier years when I started coming to Edo State. I’m thinking about things that happened and am excited. I want to see greater things happening at this time,” he added.
Kumuyi also recalled the impact of similar conferences, saying, “There was a woman that was paralyzed and was brought from the village and came to the crusade, and I prayed for everyone, and lives were changed.
“I told this woman to go and that she has gotten her miracle and she cried. She got to her village and low and behold when they wanted to help her from the lorry, the power of God came upon her and she stood up from the lorry herself and it was a great scene,” he added.
