President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the General Superintendent and founder of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Folorunso Kumuyi, on his 85th birthday, describing him as a remarkable servant of God whose ministry has transformed millions of lives across the world.

In a statement issued on Saturday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu praised Pastor Kumuyi’s unwavering commitment to the Christian faith, noting that his influence has continued to grow for more than five decades.

The President said Pastor Kumuyi’s enduring legacy of faith, wisdom and dedication has been instrumental in building a thriving ministry that has touched lives both within and outside Nigeria.

Tinubu particularly commended the cleric’s role as convener of the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK), noting that the evangelistic outreach has extended beyond church walls and national boundaries to bring hope, encouragement and spiritual renewal to millions of people around the world.

According to the President, Pastor Kumuyi’s teachings, writings and sermons have provided timeless guidance to individuals seeking purpose, truth and direction in life.

He further noted that the renowned preacher’s ministry has contributed significantly to the transformation of lives, restoration of families, development of leaders and strengthening of the faith of several generations of believers.

President Tinubu described the octogenarian cleric as a source of inspiration whose commitment to Christian values and service to humanity has earned him widespread respect and admiration.

As Pastor Kumuyi marks his 85th birthday on June 6, 2026, the President prayed for God’s continued blessings upon him, asking for strength, divine health, peace and abundant grace in the years ahead.

Pastor Kumuyi is widely regarded as one of Africa’s most influential Christian leaders, with the Deeper Christian Life Ministry growing into a global evangelical movement since its establishment more than 50 years ago.

Foluke Adeboye, wife of Enoch Adeboye, has opened up about a profound act of personal sacrifice she made after becoming a born-again Christian, revealing that she once disposed of her valuable gold jewelry as part of her commitment to her faith.

Speaking during a recent interview, the respected minister recounted how her lifestyle changed dramatically when she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). At the time, certain forms of adornment, including earrings, were discouraged within the church.

Reflecting on that season, she explained that her love for fashion gave way to a deeper desire to live in alignment with her newfound beliefs.

“Every woman loves fashion. The moment we were born again then in RCCG, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.

According to her, the decision was not made lightly, as some of the jewelry had been set aside for her child. However, she remained resolute in her conviction, choosing spiritual obedience over material value.

She also recalled how a family acquaintance questioned her actions, suggesting she could have given the items to her mother to sell instead. In response, she emphasized her firm belief that anything she considered spiritually unsuitable for herself should not be passed on to others.

“Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother,” she stated.

Despite the magnitude of the sacrifice, Mrs. Adeboye expressed peace and contentment with her decision, adding that she harbors no regrets.

“I don’t miss anything, not much,” she affirmed.

Her testimony serves as a reflection of the transformative impact of faith and the personal sacrifices many believers make in their walk with Christ.

In a powerful expression of Christian compassion and unity, believers in Jos have reached across religious lines to share food with their Muslim neighbors during the holy month of Ramadan.

Christian residents across Jos North Local Government Area and Jos South Local Government Area have been preparing and distributing meals to Muslim faithful in communities and mosques, helping them break their fast. This act of kindness, sustained since the beginning of Ramadan, reflects a growing commitment among believers to live out the love of Christ in practical ways.

One of the coordinators, Alexander Pious, emphasized the importance of humanity above all differences. He shared that before identifying as Christians or Muslims, we are first human beings created by God, and that love should be extended to all without discrimination. According to him, such acts are necessary for the betterment of society and a true reflection of godly love.

Another supporter, Kehinde Ronke, said she was inspired by the initiative and felt compelled to join in blessing others regardless of their background. She noted that kindness sown today can return as help in times of need, encouraging others to embrace generosity as a way of life.

Members of the Muslim community have warmly received the gesture, expressing gratitude for the genuine love shown to them. Jafaru Ango described the initiative as impactful, especially for the less privileged, while Musa Ibrahim highlighted that such acts prove that true believers are not the source of division, but rather instruments of peace.

Despite the history of ethno-religious tensions in Plateau State, this initiative stands as a testament to the healing power of love and unity. Both givers and recipients believe that such efforts can bridge divides, promote peace, and strengthen mutual respect among diverse communities.

As Scripture reminds us, “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:18). The Christians in Jos are living out this truth, shining as lights in their communities and demonstrating the heart of Christ through selfless giving.
