Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has revealed his determination to “avenge” the death of his first wife, Abiodun Kumuyi, by intensifying his global evangelical mission.
Speaking during the Global Workers’ Conference at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, Kumuyi recounted the painful circumstances surrounding his wife’s passing in 2009. He explained that the devil took advantage of his absence while he was ministering at a church retreat, leading to the tragic loss.
“I was preaching here on Saturday, 11th April 2009, and the devil worked on my absence. My wife was at home because she had a challenge. I was driving out, the devil came, but I did not remember to close the spiritual door that nobody will sneak into that place (his house) and when I finished the Faith Clinic that morning, I received a message that my beloveth wife was gone,” Kumuyi shared.
Despite the heartbreak, Kumuyi said he refused to let the tragedy weaken his faith. Instead, he has used the pain as motivation to expand his ministry, describing his efforts as “revenge” against the devil. He has since traveled extensively, preaching across Nigeria, Africa, and other continents, witnessing miracles and spiritual breakthroughs.
“Since that time, for me to revenge on the devil, I have gone to many places since she left, I have covered most of the local governments in Nigeria, I have gone to almost all the nations of Africa, I have gone to all the continents of the world, blind eyes have opened, deaf ears have opened, the lame had risen up and walk and now I am getting to another level, the dead has now been raised,” he declared.
Kumuyi assured his followers that such a tragedy would never be repeated in his family or ministry. He encouraged them to remain vigilant and spiritually strong, vowing to always be in charge and not allow anything to be stolen from his household again.
Pastor Kumuyi remarried in London in 2010, a year after the passing of his first wife. His story continues to inspire many believers to turn personal pain into purpose and spiritual passion.
