Statement of faith


 

There is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is.  He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful.  He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent - one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

The Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

Humankind [Adam & Eve] was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.

The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to instate God's Kingdom on earth.  He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people.  He is "true God" and "true man."

We are saved by God's grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ.  Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord.  The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.

In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live holy and minister super-naturally.  The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses.

The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy sin, lies, sickness and torment.

The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ.  He gave His church the ordinances of Baptism and Communion.

The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God's love, disciplining the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.

In the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride His church.  Heaven and hell are real places.  There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.

 

our history

1968

Word of God Ministry International also known as WGMi was born in 1968. The founder Pastor George Benjamin received a divine revelation from God that men and women through the proper understanding of the scriptures, would accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. The Lord instructed him to 'feed my people from the greatest to the least'.

Pastor Benjamin on occasions with his wife Pastor Elaine Benjamin carried out the work of an Evangelist, preaching throughout the Caribbean, West Africa, South Africa, Holland and Mauritius, hosting Evangelistic and healing meetings. Thousands have been healed from a multitude of sicknesses and diseases and many delivered and set free from various afflictions, with even more coming to know Jesus Christ as their personal saviour and Lord.

Pastor Benjamin believed that being a Pastor was about serving, he had a heart for broken people particularly those that were struggling with addictions. He was also delivered from a life of drugs, and shortly after his conversion he received a strong call to the Ministry.

1993

In 1993 and after a period of renting premises at several locations in Newham, The Lord led him to premises situated on the Barking Road in the heart ofNewham. In February 1994 after many late nights and cans of paint, 738 Barking Road was dedicated as a place of worship, a Church where everyone is welcome!

Though our founder has gone to be with The Lord his vision burns bright in the hearts of all the ministers and leaders who are passionate to see people’s lives transformed by the power of the living Word of God. Not only does he leave a legacy in terms of establishing the Word of God Ministry, but his unique understanding of the Word has been captured on CD's as well as several books and resources that he was privileged to write (coming soon).

His wife and co-worker Pastor Elaine Benjamin is still active in the ministry and can be found teaching and preaching in our South London branch.
