I promised I'll do some asking around so here are my findings. Firstly, I discovered that the rumor actually started from a report posted by Encomium Weekly.
Well, it will interest some of you to know that Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, the General Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church took to his official Facebook page to deny the banning of the use of iPads and Android devices during service, stating that no such rule was made in his church.

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 from Tuesday, 15 July 2014.
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.
Remember, it is not everything from these sources that is true!
May the Lord keep you in the Truth and not be tossed about by errors, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Now, the air is cleared on the matter. Let no one spread the false rumor again.

I pray The Lord have Mercy on us allThank God for Pastor Kumuyi
Ban or no ban the ministry must move on and that's the way it is
Okay oh! So who lied?
Banning ipads and phones in church is actually not a bad idea bcos these things have distracted and are still distracting people from paying attention especially to the word of God. Some people do not have bible on their phones and they don't take down sermon notes, so what are they using the phones for
social medials should leave this man of God for me,he's one pastor i respect alot.
I luv their Christian women mirror.Very Insightful.
But why would dey sit and think of lying against a man of God, of dat level for dat mater? May God forgiv dem
Naija and fake news sha..
