As part of the efforts to make peace, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has urged Christians across the country to forgive President Muhammadu Buhari’s mistakes.
Kumuyi gave the charge during his sermon at the Deeper Life Bible Church, Headquarters, Gbagada, in Lagos.
He explained that true Christians must obey constituted authorities and shun violence.
In the sermon entitled, “The Believers’ Preservation Until the Day of Visitation,” Kumuyi said that Christians were strangers and pilgrims in the world and must, therefore, be Christ-like in their character, conduct and conversations.
Kumuyi maintained that the lifestyle of Christians must reflect Christ in a civil society, stressing that government derived their authority from God.
Kumuyi said, “Don’t attack the President of the country, whether in words or in the newspapers or through internet. Honour kings; don’t disrespect or dishonour the governors.
“Don’t disrespect leaders of the community and leaders in the church. If we are to honour the governors in the states, how much more the Pastors. ”
He said that God wanted Christians to submit to the leadership he had given to them in the church, community, country and corporate organisations.
The cleric, who stated that the end of life on earth was not the end of existence, urged Christians to always think of the day of reckoning in their character and conduct.
