In the course of getting some facts to substantiate a report that says;
"PASTOR KUMUYI DECLARES! BANS iPAD & ANDROID DEVICES FOR READING BIBLE DURING SERVICE"
"The ban was to be effective a few weeks back because members of the church use the devices pretending they are reading their bible but are surfing the web and not paying attention to the sermon."

A chat was made by our correspondent (Folabright Media -FBM) with a member of the ministry in whose identity would not be disclosed where he debunked the report that the General Supretendent - Pastor W.F. Kumuyi said such a thing.
See the excerpts below;
"I still use my phone Bible in the Church. And I have not heard Pastor Kumuyi stopping the use"
He also said;
"Some weeks ago at the Youth Leader meeting,
Gbagada. The use of electronic device was defended by the Natonal Leader. I was there, but he warned against abuse"
This report is coming to debunk the former report on the social media.
A representative for the church also has posted a message on Facebook, claiming it is false.
Read;
FALSE REPORT
“Pastor Kumuyi of Deeper Life Bible Church bans the Use of iPad & Android Devices” – Encomium Weekly.
The above report has been trending in the Social media for sometimes
THIS REPORT IS FALSE.
There was never a time as referred to in the article, when Pastor W.F. Kumuyi made this statement or “BANNED” the use of mobile devices in the Church.
As much as every Christ-loving believer is encouraged to give God his/her full attention when in Church or in any other place, where the Word of God is being taught, this story is HIGHLY MISCHIEVOUS and MISLEADING.
There is no doubt that Technology has its place in the spread of the gospel message as well as believers’ development where such is put into proper use but its misuse or abuse is not encouraged.
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: FOR ALL MEN HAVE NOT FAITH. But the Lord is faithful, WHO SHALL STABLISH YOU, and KEEP YOU FROM EVIL” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3.
May the Lord keep you in the Truth and not be tossed about by errors, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Be prepared!!!
