The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Kumuyi, has shared an emotional account of the death of his first wife, Abiodun Kumuyi, attributing the tragedy to his absence at home during a church programme.
Speaking at a recent church conference, Kumuyi revealed that his wife passed away on April 11, 2009, while he was ministering, saying “the devil took advantage” of the situation. He recounted rushing home after receiving the devastating news, only to find that she had already died after a brief illness.
Despite the painful loss, the cleric said he chose not to remain in grief but instead channeled the experience into a renewed spiritual mission. He described his intensified global evangelism as a form of “revenge,” declaring that such a tragedy would never be allowed to happen again in his life or ministry.
Kumuyi emphasized moving forward with faith and authority, stating that since the incident, he has expanded his outreach across Nigeria, Africa, and beyond—marking what he calls a new level in his spiritual journey.
