Pastor William Kumuyi reflects on the 2009 death of his wife

Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has shared personal reflections regarding the 2009 death of his wife, Abiodun Kumuyi. During a sermon published on YouTube, the cleric explained why he eventually ceased questioning the circumstances surrounding her passing.

Kumuyi recounted that on April 11, 2009, he received news of his wife’s death while he was away from home performing ministerial duties. He expressed that he had initially felt a sense of spiritual failure, believing he had left a ‘spiritual door open’ that allowed for the tragedy to occur despite his prayers before leaving the house.

He stated that his period of questioning and intensive prayer regarding the incident ended after he received what he described as a divine assurance to move forward. Quoting his experience, he said, ‘The Lord assured me, “Let it go, let that go, don’t bother about it.”’ Kumuyi noted that while he has moved past the event, the experience has influenced his spiritual determination to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
