The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, has berated ushers who insist ladies must cover their heads before entering the church.
During a recent sermon, Kumuyi described the act as an embarrassment and urged ushers to desist from it.
He says, “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 protect 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 this is. If they treat me like a primary school girl, that will be my last time attending church.
“If I don’t tell you, maybe nobody will say to you. Some wives dress shabbily and are no longer attractive to the man. Some single sisters are not presentable.”
“Anybody looking for God’s will may not be attracted to them. The Bible says every woman that prayeth or prophesies, and the reason why you are covering is either you are praying or prophesying.”
Kumuyi added 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.”
