Kumuyi urges Christians to emulate Christ to reap God's reward

By -
General Superintendent, Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Willliam F. Kumuyi, on Saturday urged Christians expecting God’s reward to emulate Jesus and live as he did.
In a sermon delivered at the Church's ongoing National Easter Retreat in Lagos, he said, only Christians who sacrified and suffer the way Christ did that should expect to be crowned by God.

In his sermon entitled ''From Crucifixion to Coronation”, he said that, ``a life that has been saved from damnation through faith by Christ must be lived for the glory of Christ and not in pursuit of earthly things that are temporary’’.
``The glories of the earth pass away but the people who do the will of God will live forever.
`` Christians who live victorious Christian lives, conquering sins daily, following Christ's  commission to evangelise the world and living as co-heirs with Him, will surely be crowned.’’
The Cleric said that identification with Christ and His death on the cross must bring changes in character, in thought and in the expressions of Christians who expect a reward of eternal life with crowns in heaven.
Kumuyi urged Christians to be obedient to the commandments of God.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law.

He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
