Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has attributed the death of his first wife, Abiodun Kumuyi, to his absence from home.
She passed away on April 11, 2009, at the age of 57, after a brief illness.
The couple had been married for approximately 28 years, having tied the knot on September 13, 1980, and had two children, Jeremiah and John.
Kumuyi later remarried in London on October 13, 2010.
Speaking at the Global Workers’ Conference at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre, the revered holiness preacher expressed his grief, stating that the devil took advantage of his absence while he was ministering at a church retreat on the day she died.

“I was preaching here on Saturday, 11th April 2009, and the devil worked on my absence. My wife was at home because she had a challenge. I was driving out, the devil came, but I did not remember to close the spiritual door that nobody will sneak into that place (his house) and when I finished the Faith Clinic that morning, I received a message that my beloveth wife was gone.
“I ran to IBTC (home); I saw it had happened and I met some people there; they were praying and the Lord assured me that I should let it go, let that go, don’t bother about it,” the cleric said.
Despite the tragedy, Kumuyi stated he chose not to dwell in sorrow but instead to transform his pain into spiritual passion to intensify his global evangelical mission.
He described this next phase of his ministry as a “revenge” against the devil.
The cleric emphasized that his wife’s death marked the end of a painful chapter in his life, asserting that the devil would not have the chance to repeat such a tragedy in his household or ministry.
“I let it (his wife’s death) go, but from that day, I said ‘that one happened, this other one will no more happen.’
“Since that time, for me to revenge on the devil, I have gone to many places since she left, I have covered most of the local governments in Nigeria, I have gone to almost all the nations of Africa, I have gone to all the continents of the world, blind eyes have opened, deaf ears have opened, the lame had risen up and walk and now I am getting to another level, the dead has now been raised and so I have come to tell you, those that have gone have gone, water under the bridge that has gone is gone, all that has gone has gone, now in your family you will be in charge.
“Anywhere I go, now I will be in charge. Nothing will be allowed to steal anything away,” Kumuyi added.
