Stop running to pastors for prayer, learn to pray for yourself - Kumuyi tells Christians

The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi has advised Christians to stop rushing to pastors all the time for prayers and instead pray more themselves in order to get closer to God.

He said this at a ministers’ conference, taking his teaching from the book of Exodus 33:1-3, 12-15.

According to Pastor Kumuyi, like Moses, Joshua and Elijah who were tired yet created time to hear from God, people must seek the presence of God so as to get strength and power to move their vision.

He said: “The trendy situation where people are shifting personal responsibility of taking their problems to God for a divine solution to their pastors is totally wrong. We are in a pray-for-me generation. A generation that feels they cannot live except somebody does it for them.

“There is a need for personal prayer. Pulpit prayer is good but personal prayer is very necessary. Whatever is happening in your life engage in personal prayer. We must do less talking to men and talk more to God. Jesus personally approached the father at His point of death. Do not be so busy with the work of the Lord without the Lord of the work.

“Just like Moses, we should not be satisfied with the presence of an angel because direct communication with God without an intermediary with an angel is the best for the Ministry.”
