Pastor Tunde Bakare: “Why I Left Pastor Kumuyi's Deeper Life Church"

Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly, will on the 11th of November turn 60. And in a very revealing interview with TheNewsNigeria to mark his coming birthday, the man of God explained why he suddenly abandoned Deeper Life after being there for 5 years. Excerpts:

    You were in Deeper Life and The Redeemed churches. At what point did you decide to open your own and why?

    That’s what you call memory lane. I was in Deeper Life for five years, between 1978 and December 1983. Brother Kumuyi was and is still a great teacher of the Word. The person that put the fear of God in me was Brother Kumuyi. He laid the foundation for systematic teaching that many people see me do today.

The Reason I Fought With Oyedepo And Tore His Book – Pastor Tunde Bakare

Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly in an  interview speaks on the  reason he fought with Bishop Oyedepo,  his experience as a running mate to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari at the 2011 general elections amongst other issues.
In this interview with Adeola Balogun, Nonye Ben-Nwankwo, Pastor Tunde Bakare opens up:

On his take on anointing oil
People like to create their own Tunde Bakare. I love God, I love people, I love the godly and the ungodly and I try within my God-given ability to teach the truth. The reason I fought with my friend, Bishop David Oyedepo, and tore his book, I remember when we resolved this problem in London, we came out of a plane, he took me aside and said he was angry with me because I tore his book. I said I didn’t tear your book, I tore my book.

That is fine, you wrote it, I bought it, so it was my book I tore. I saw errors in that book because he said the anointing oil is not a symbol of the Holy Spirit that it is the life of God in a bottle. How can you write that and I would let it pass.
