A subtle superiority contest is currently going on between Deeper Christian Life Ministry and The Redeemed Christian Church of God. The former is led by Pastor Williams Folorunsho Kumuyi while the latter has Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye as its General Overseer. Both men of God are not only widely respected around the world, they also started out as lecturers at the University of Lagos.
The Redeemed has always prided itself as the largest Pentecostal fold in Africa. But in what appears to be a subtle response to that, Deeper Life had what it tagged ‘Ground Breaking Crusade in Cities of Ogun State on October 27, 2015’, and guess what all their posters, handbills and banners read: ‘Africa’s Single Largest Congregation’. Like I said, everything is still silent, but we are watching and taking note.
