THE TRINITY

We believe that there is one true, good, and living God existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These are distinct persons yet one and equal in divinity; known as the triune God. Genesis 1:1, 26. John 1:1, 3. Romans 1:19, 20; 9:5. Colossians 2:9

GOD THE FATHER

We believe in God the Father, an everlasting, infinite, perfect being without beginning or end of days. We believe that all families in heaven and earth derive their being and existence from the Father (Ephesians 3:15). We believe that God the Father is sovereign King and ruler over all, and our lives and times are in His hands (Psalms 47:7). This is very significant and a lost light in a darkened world. Father and King Ministries exist to restore this truth. Daniel 3:27. Hosea 1:7; 2:21-22. Luke 10:21-22. Matthew 4:4; 23:9. John 3:16; 6:27. Colossians 1:16-17.

GOD THE SON

We believe in Jesus Christ as God’s son. He is the begotten and eternal Son, the express image of God the Father. He came down to earth, was born and took upon Himself the image and nature of man through the vessel of a female virgin, Mary. He lived a sinless life, healed the sick, delivered the oppressed and set the captives free. Finally, he offered Himself as a penal substitutionary atoning sacrifice for all men (men and women). Jesus Christ was physically crucified, bled, died and was buried. He rose again on the third day by the power of the Holy Spirit according to the will of the Father. He came to open the door (Himself) to all men (men and women) to the father. Luke 1:26-38. II Corinthians 5:21. Galatians 3:13. Hebrews 7:25; 9:28; I Peter 2:21-23. Revelation 5:12-14

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the Holy Spirit, eternal and one with the Father and Son. It is He who convicts and convinces the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. It is He who came down to earth on the day of Pentecost to live in and abide with men (men and women). It is the Holy Spirit who reveals the Father and the Son to whomsoever wills. I Corinthians 12:13. I Corinthians 2:10-11;3:16; 6:19. Galatians 5:22-26. Titus 3:5. Romans 8:9,12-13. Ephesians 6:11-18. I John 1:8. John 1:12-13

The Fear of God and Faith in God: Two Sides of Our Ministry 

Thinking back to what brought me into ministry, at the time, I felt very sad and unhappy. I came into ministry with some measure of apprehension and fear about what was to come in human history. Of course, it was not just one moment in time or the same motivation that brought me here. There were a series of interconnected moments, thoughts, experiences, and processes. But the kickoff, that set me to getting up and deciding to make a move was in March of  2024, after reading Matthew 24:9–14.

The passage felt like a heavy and sobering foretelling by Christ of what was to come. As I read it, I thought, “Why so much gloom? What is the point of believing and following Christ if the future was going to be so bleak?” As I pondered his sobering words, I thought; “these were not someone else’s opinions—Christ Himself was saying this.” He spoke about persecution, the love of many growing cold, and the increase of iniquity. Then at the end, He said the gospel would be preached all around the world—and then the end would come. That made me pause: if the gospel was going to preached (spread) to all the world, I reasoned, that this was good news and “that must mean good is happening too.” So, I concluded that the end would be a mix of good and bad. That is, bad getting worse, and good getting better—in other words, opposites growing side by side.

My next thought was, “Okay—then I need to get on the good side. I need to take my place and start preparing so that the good can be as good as it can get.” I also reasoned that a lack of preparation would be devastating in the sense that the church would not be as strong as she should, for that same reason, a lack of preparation, falling prey to the bad. So, ministry became, for me, a forward, pre-emptive response to a future with challenges: to prepare against what is evil, so it does not get worse, and to help the church be as ready and glorious as she can be.

The focus was to prepare the bride, strengthen the body of Christ, and not sleep but be active building ahead so that the church is in a better place: prepared, healthy, and well-furnished for the challenges and the glory ahead. Otherwise, I wondered what the point was of Christ telling us these things if not so that we are prepared.

There is also a faith factor: faith in the word of Christ, that the future would be, just as he said. It appeared to me that I was given a cheat sheet and an opportunity to be aware ahead of time and prepare. I think I’ve said ‘prepare’ so many times, lol. The church would be glorious in the end, (there are other scriptures the correlate this statement) and I want to be a part of that. It’s a visible, bright light, like the promise of the shining sun: once you have seen it, the glory ahead beckons and compels you.

The thing with Christ is that when He speaks, you are better off being on the right side of His words than on the negative side. In other words, I felt I had to choose a side—and prepare the body of Christ, along with myself, the best way I can as God helps us carry out His glorious plan.

A Daniel Prayer Network Ministry

There is a great need for the Daniel spirit and operation in this our day. I say this for many reasons and believe that our ministry was born to show a Daniel spirit of Christ and accomplish Daniel like needs.

Firstly, Daniel lived with an acute awareness of the times and an awareness of what mattered. He was aware both of what was important, the times he was living in and the future. He seemed to have a very grounded maturity regarding current affairs and the place of God in them. He prioritized seeking and knowing God. He prioritized a connection to God as indicated by his unwavering and consistent prayer life. He also had a sound fear of God. Daniel and his friends had no regard for human element in a sense but God.

For individuals who were sold from their home country to another with a superior military might and technological advancement, it is very amusing that they were not the least moved. For sure, it appears to me that Hananiah (Shadrach), Mishael (Meshach) and Azariah (Abednego) came to life at a historic and proper moment. Apart from Christ, I know not another that I admire and respect than Daniel. He looms larger than life to me. He is a towering and overwhelming figure in spiritual matters. His intelligence, understanding, boldness of faith and maturity are very unusual to me. But of course, Christ is better, just as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.

Father & King Ministries is a Daniel network ministry. What this means is that we stand in the same place Daniel stood in his time, as intercessors for our time and as invested individuals in ministry maintaining secular responsibilities. Just as Daniel, in the fear of God we seek to pray, intercede, teach, and take peculiar interest in past, current and future human affairs as they pertain to the plan of God.

We are a network ministry because our work includes building collaboration within the body of Christ among those who will in like manner be intercessors and watchmen. We seek to be like the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.1 Chronicle 12:32.

Our Daniel prayer network exists to leverage the power of prayer to:

·       Support the local assembly

·       Build and expand the body of Christ

·       Bring truth to the forefront of society

·       Heal the lost and deliver the oppressed

Pauline - a ministry of the word

Built on this foundation of intercession is the Pauline ministry – in this regard, a ministry of the word for the edification and the building of the body of Christ. This thought on teaching the word stands by itself. Although positioned on a foundation of ministry through prayer it is also a house implicitly integrated through prayer. A big burden that compelled me into ministry is a desire to build the body of Christ. As far as I can remember, this was the early beginning of my thoughts and musings before anything became a formal ministry. This is why the ministry is also known as Living Stone. Three scriptures provided the passion and instruction for this.

First, Jesus’s foundational words in stating:

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:16

Then Paul:

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22

1 Peter captures what was in my heart quite well:  

you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5

From Father’s House to King’s House to Father & King

My earliest passion is that of our Father’s house, where the children of God could connect and grow. This was born as a remedy to a lost culture, a fatherless one. Then my thoughts moved over to King’s house. In this, is I saw a people and the body of Christ living in the absence of the lordship of Christ, one in which God was no longer the center. One which people honor their thoughts, trust and value their perspective more than God’s. Finally, I figured both the restoration of the fatherhood and Kingship of God are essential points of issue, and neither apart could fully express what was in my heart – the result was a vision of a Father & King ministry.
