The declaration came during the opening ceremony of the global crusade’s joint event, collaborating with the 2023 National December Retreat themed “Emmanuel.”
While addressing the gathering, Pastor Kumuyi highlighted the biblical command of Christ Jesus, emphasizing that marriage, as ordained by Jesus, is the union of a man and a woman. This statement follows a contrasting move by Pope Francis, who recently allowed priests to bestow blessings upon same-sex couples worldwide.
“The Lord Jesus Christ told us before he left that we should go to the world, teach all nations, baptizing them… teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you,” stated Kumuyi. “We stand in obedience to Christ and carry on the works of Christ that said a man and a woman should be joined together in marriage until death do us part.”
