Pastor Williams Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, has sent message of caution to ushers in his church.
He has told them to stop imposing the rules of head covering on ladies, as the persistent coverings causes heat in the hair and it will cause odour.
The popular cleric has lamented that many Christians have misinterpreted the word of God in a manner that drives people away from the church.
Kumuyi made this revelation via a sermon shared on the Facebook wall of the Ekiti State Deeper Life Church which was monitored by Church Times.
In his words, “Somebody is coming to our church for the first time. And she happens to be a lady not covering her head. We ask the person to cover her head before coming in. We don’t know whether the person does not even know God. We confront her out there before she even enters the church. We don’t know if she does not know how to pray or prophesy. But we impose rules on her.
“If I were the person, I would wonder what kind of church is this? If they treat me like a primary school girl, that will be my last time coming to the church.”
Citing as reference 1 Cor 11v5 of the Holy Bible, which focuses more on the covering of the head for the women, the pastor explained that women should cover their heads when they are praying or prophesying.
The pastor also wondered why some women in the church would cover their heads for almost 20 hours a day.
He stated that many of them have made themselves unattractive by their appearance.
Kumuyi revealed that, “There are some women who are not attractive to their husbands. Some believe since they are married they are no longer obligated to look good before their husband. There are single sisters that are not presentable. ”
He said this act will cause “heat in the hair and it will emit odour,”
He described women who practice such as those who, “put themselves in bondage because they never read the word.”
“If I don’t tell you maybe nobody will tell you. There are some wives who dress shabbily and are no longer attractive to the man. There are some single sisters that are not presentable. Anybody who is looking for the will of God may not be attracted to them.
The Bible says every woman that pray or prophesies. The reason why you are covering is either you are praying or prophesying.”
