Pastor W.F. Kumuyi has emphasized that genuine holiness must go beyond outward religious conduct and produce a real transformation in the heart.
According to Kumuyi, holiness is not simply about following external rules or maintaining an appearance of righteousness. It should affect a person’s thoughts, attitudes, motives and everyday conduct.
His statement challenges believers to examine the kind of holiness they are pursuing. Religious practices may be visible to others, but genuine holiness involves an inward work that changes the way a person lives and relates with God and people.
Kumuyi’s message also points to the importance of allowing Christian faith to produce practical transformation. A life that claims to be devoted to God should increasingly reflect His character through love, obedience, humility and righteous living.
The emphasis is therefore not merely on looking holy, but on becoming transformed from within. For Kumuyi, true holiness should be evident in the heart as well as in the life of the believer.
