The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, spoke to his members about Divine Call To Run Well And Obey The Truth at the Systematic And Expository Bible Study.
Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover is sacrificed for us.”
He then said that we might still be preaching and teaching the word, but it is dangerous immediately we begin to add other things. When it is no longer Jesus only as Saviour, Master, Redeemer.
If a little leaven leavens, perverts, or distracts the lump, then a lot of leaven will destroy everything. Look at your personal life, faith and practice of the word of God, is it still pure and true?
Speaking further, he said that some pastors cannot but apply something else, they must collect powers from a particular source and depend on them to do ministry.
“Where do you get all the things you apply to your Christian life?” he asked and said, “Beware and purge out the leaven of hypocrisy, insincerity, misbehaviour, misinterpreting the word of God, anger, animosity and hatred. .
Put on the new leaven which is from Christ and which will uphold us to the end. May God help us so stay and not allow anything, no matter how small, to spoil our faith.”
Finally, he said, “A little folly, sinfulness, exaggeration, lie, misrepresentation of the word of God spoil the purity of the Christian life. Those things were not there when we started the race, and they should not be there because we are nearer to the end now than when we began.”
