Pastor Kumuyi Williams, the General Founder of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has noted that Christians should not dishonor those in positions of authority.
Kumuyi stated this on his official Twitter handle on Sunday, noting that it is not the responsibility of a self-proclaimed Christian to advocate for better living conditions when elected representatives fail to keep manifesto pledges.
Pastor Kumuyi revealed the inadequacies of the government in power in a Twitter thread.

He said, “At Deeper Christian Life Ministry, we are far more aware of this existential crossroads than many perceive. We present the Word of God as delivered in the Holy Bible, alright.

“We teach that if you’re a genuine believer in Christ, you wouldn’t hate your neighbour. Nor would you disdain those in power because they appear not to be delivering on electoral pledges such that you would go on the rampage, destroying government property or pillaging the public till.”
He added that “We teach a linear life of Christian walk: you can’t be a saint on Sunday and a monster on Monday. Needless to say, God recognizes the dual nature He has clothed us with, physical body and soul. Both need to be fed proportionally. The inner soul requires the Word, while the external body needs material fulfillments through food, shelter, healing, job, joy, justice etc. The Creator hasn’t annulled that order.
“He expects the state to cater for the body while He saddles the Church with providing for the inner being. None is mutually independent of the other. Societies run into straits, setbacks and storms when they neglect this arrangement,”
