William Kumuyi cautions ushers imposing head covering on women
Pastor Williams Kumuyi, the general superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, has confronted ushers in his congregation for forcing women and ladies to wear head coverings, claiming that this is causing many of them to leave the church.

Additionally, he claimed that persistent covers among women heat up their hair and cause odour to be released.

This was stated by Kumuyi in a sermon posted on the Church Times-recognized Ekiti State Deeper Life Church's Facebook page.

He emphasised that many Christians who are ignorant of how to understand the Bible are keeping people away from the church.

According to him: “Somebody is coming to our church for the first time. And she happens to be a lady not covering her head. We ask the person to cover her head before coming in. We don’t know whether the person does not even know God. We confront her out there before she even enters the church. We don’t know if she does not know how to pray or prophesy. But we impose rules on her.

“If I were the person, I would wonder what kind of church is this? If they treat me like a primary school girl, that will be my last time coming to the church.”

Citing 1 Corinthians 11 vs 5, which dwells on the covering of the head for females, Kumuyi explained that women should have their heads covered while praying or prophesying.

He also wondered why some sisters would cover their heads for almost 20 hours a day, stating that many have made themselves unattractive by their appearance.

Kumuyi said: “There are some women who are not attractive to their husbands. Some believe since they are married they are no longer obligated to look good before their husband. There are single sisters that are not presentable.”

He noted that because of persistent covering there will be “heat in the hair and it will emit odour.”

Women who practice such according to him “put themselves in bondage because they never read the word.”

“If I don’t tell you maybe nobody will tell you. There are some wives who dress shabbily and are no longer attractive to the man. There are some single sisters that are not presentable. Anybody who is looking for the will of God may not be attracted to them.

“The Bible says every woman that prays or prophesies. The reason why you are covering is either you are praying or prophesying,” he stressed.
