Pastor Kumuyi prays at US president’s inauguration event

The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, participated in a special programme held ahead of the inauguration of President Donald Trump in the United States.

The event, known as the Inauguration Praise and Prayer Convocation, took place at the Greater New Hope Baptist Church and was organised by Jim Garlow’s Well Versed World ministry alongside Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council.

The gathering brought together faith leaders and believers to pray for the nation and its incoming administration.

During the programme, Kumuyi delivered a prayer challenge to the American church and its leaders, urging them to pursue holiness and righteousness as essential steps toward spiritual renewal and national revival.

Kumuyi said, “Almighty God. We thank You and bless Your name,” Kumuyi prayed. “What a great and glorious God you are. I want to thank You, Lord, for the church in America. You said, upon this rock, You would build Your church – not just for that generation but for every generation, and You say the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

“Lord, we come in preparation for the celebration of Donald Trump, the president tomorrow. We’re asking that You will grant him wisdom and You will grant the church the unity, the revival, the knowledge, the vision, the forthrightness to speak the truth to power. And we pray, as You connect the church with the leader, that it will be a good unity, that You will help the President, and that the church will remain the church.

“Revive Your church, restore Your church and purge Your church that there will be the holiness and the righteousness You expect for Your church, and the church will have a meaningful ministry in the government, as well as for America.”

On the eve of the inauguration, Kumuyi also offered this prayer during an SRN News interview, “Almighty God, You chose to bring President-Elect Donald Trump to Your throne and to lead at this time. We’re asking that your grace will be with him through Your wisdom and Your power. And we pray You will help him remain focused on all the things he’s brought out in his campaign of giving Christ the recognition and the honor that He deserves. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.”

During his visit, Kumuyi met with Robert Pittenger, former representative from North Carolina, Turning Point USA Faith’s Senior Director Lucas Miles and media representatives.

Today, Donald Trump will officially be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. The oath of office will be administered by Chief Justice John Roberts during the inauguration ceremony in Washington, D.C.
