Many people have always accused the Deeper Life Church of failing to embrace technological innovations in the past, as such innovations were viewed as worldly.
However, the church is now leading the way in terms of the use of technological tools to spread the gospel.
Recently, the Deeper Life Church launched an AI that could churn out answers like ChatGPT.
The AI is known as AskKumuyiAi, and it answers Christian questions based on the teachings of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi.
Here are five things you need to know about the Deeper Life AI, which has excited social media users.
1. It can be accessed on desktop and WhatsApp
The AskKumuyi AI is available on desktop and WhatsApp. It can be accessed through the web address https://askkumuyi.ai/.
Also, it is available on WhatsApp the same way Meta AI is integrated with the messaging app.
The Whatsapp version has an image of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, and responses are generated once a question is sent in the form of a message.
2. It is based on the teachings of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi
The AskKumuyiAI returns answers based on the teachings of Pastor Kumuyi.
Once a question is asked about any Christian topic, the AI fetches the answers from a sermon preached on that topic by Pastor Kumuyi or the church.
The AI sometimes cites the particular sermon and also gives the date the sermon was first preached.
For instance, when a Fox Nigeria reporter asked the AI what the Bible said about tithe, it said:
“The Bible has a rich teaching on tithes, which refers to the practice of giving one-tenth of one’s income to God. Here are key insights based on the teachings of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi. The tithe is a biblical mandate that originates from the Old Testament. It is defined as one-tenth of one’s earnings or profits, and this principle was practised even before the Mosaic law.
“In essence, tithing is not merely a duty but an opportunity to acknowledge God’s provision, demonstrate faith, and contribute to the welfare of the church and community. Individuals are encouraged to give willingly and cheerfully, reflecting on God’s immense love and grace in their lives.”
