By MO
Mummy Esther Kumuyi Folashade Aduke Blaize, the beloved matriarch of the Deeper Life Bible Church, celebrates both her 78th birthday and her 13th wedding anniversary with Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, in a heartwarming double celebration.
This dual celebration is full of meaning and love, reflecting not only the couple’s enduring bond but also the journey of faith and devotion that has defined their lives.
The Deeper Christian Life Ministry joyfully commemorated Mummy Kumuyi Esther’s 78th birthday on October 13th, 2023. This achievement is evidence of a life richly blessed and directed by wisdom, faith, and good health. Mummy Kumuyi has been designated as a national ensign, a model of grace, devotion, and unwavering dedication to her faith and life partner.
But the joy doesn’t stop there. In addition, Pastor William Folorunsho and Mummy Esther Folashade Aduke Blaize Kumuyi are celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary. The fact that they became husband and wife on the exact day, October 13th, 2010, emphasises the significance of this celebration. Their thirteen-year marriage is a stunning affirmation of love and faith.
Theirs is a special love story. Formerly known as Miss Esther Folashade Aduke Blaize, Mummy Esther Kumuyi was a celibate who devoted her life to serving God. She remained single while serving her denomination for many years because of her unwavering dedication to the faith and the church.
But as she approached 65 years old, she found companionship in Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, who was already 71 years old at the time. This marked a significant turning point in her life. On October 13, 2010, they started their marriage journey. The death of Pastor Kumuyi’s first wife, the late Abiodun Kumuyi, which occurred during one of the Deeper Life Annual Retreats, signalled a bittersweet turning point in his life.
Mummy Esther Kumuyi and Pastor Kumuyi got married in London, where they first had a court ceremony and then had their marriage formally solemnised. The fact that their marriage has endured for more than ten years is a testament to their steadfast love and unified faith.
The importance of Mummy Esther Kumuyi in the Deeper Life Bible Church goes far beyond just being the pastor’s spouse. She helped lay the groundwork for the influential denomination by being one of the Deeper Life Bible Church’s 15 original members in 1973. She has led a remarkable life filled with devotion to Christ’s cause, leadership, and unwavering faith in God.
The fact that Mummy Kumuyi is celebrating both her 78th birthday and her 13th wedding anniversary to Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi serves as a reminder of the enduring power of both faith and love. Their special love story demonstrates the importance of steadfast devotion to God.
