About Us
In 2013 pastor Temi received the mandate from God to start Kingdom life ministry. Kingdom life ministry is focused on establishing the superiority of Gods kingdom on earth and empowering people via the word of God to live the Kingdom life.
We are called kingdom life because firstly God inspired the name into the heart of pastor Temi, to imply what he wants us to teach and live by.
Matthew 6:9-13
“OUR FATHER WHO ARE IN HEAVEN, HALLOW BE THY NAME THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN…” thy kingdom come, means that God influence and culture and nature be felt on the earth and God will not come down from heaven to do this, He already has representatives and ambassadors on the earth- you and I, He wants us to walk, talk and act in a way that people can tell the difference without us speaking, He wants us to influence the earth with all that He is and show the world what it looks like to be a part of God’s Kingdom. The world should look at us and see a piece of heaven.

WHAT IS KINGDOM LIFESTYLE
A LIFE FULL OF THE WORD
As a kingdom representative, we know that we have a constitution that we live by, that constitution is the word of God, the Bible. Everything we do as kingdom citizens MUST be in alignment with the word of God.
We must be rich in the knowledge of the word of God to properly represent it.
2nd Timothy 2:15 “study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”
A LIFE OF AUTHORITY
As kingdom citizens we have been given power and authority over ALL powers of the enemy, we cannot be intimidated by circumstances we find ourselves in. We know that we have the power to live a victorious and influential life here on the earth.
Luke 10:19 “behold, I have given you power and authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and to over come all power of the enemy and nothing will by any means harm you”
A LIFE OF DIVINITY
A life of divinity implies that we are not moved or controlled by the natural, we understand that we are now extra ordinary because the powers that Jesus gave us in the above scriptures to do His divine works is not made available to all. We also understand that we are sons of God and that His DNA is in us. j
John 1:12 “to them that believed He gave the right to become children of God”
We must now carry ourselves with the understanding of who we truly are
A LIFE OF DOMINION
Dominion means to have control and mastery.
Genesis 1:26 “and God said let us make man in our own image and likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of he sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth”
This is the desire of God for all of humanity that we have, mastery over everything that He has made, to live a life where we are not victims but victors.
After the fall of man in the garden man lost control but when Jesus came to the scene and died on the cross He redeemed and restored us back to our original position of dominance over all the earth.
A LIFE OF PURPOSE
Jeremiah 1:5 “before I formed you in your mother’s womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as prophet to the nations”
As kingdom citizens we understand that we are not just here to exist die and then go to heaven, we know that we have a purpose, that we carry a solution to a problem in our communities and the world at large, we strive to discover and deploy our purpose.
A LIFE OF WORSHIP
Worship is not just about singing song, we understand that it is a lifestyle that honors, respects and fears God continually in love.
Romans 12:1 “and so brothers and sisters I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice- the kind that He will find acceptable. This is truly a way of worship to Him”
A LIFE OF PRAYER
As kingdom citizens we must always stay connected to our home country-Heaven and the only way to stay connected and receive the power we need to live and exert the kingdom life is through prayers. We are familiar with the saying “a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian” we strive to have a consistent interaction with heaven via prayers, both as individuals and corporately.
1st Thessalonians 5: 17 “be unceasing and persistent in prayers”
Luke 18:1 “one day Jesus told them a story to show how they should always pray and never give up…”
” WE ARE CITIZENS OF THE KINGDOM,
WE LIVE BY THE WORD OF GOD,
WE HAVE A DIVINE NATURE,
WE HAVE DOMINION OVER OUR WORLD “
– THE KINGDOM LIFE CREED
HOW WE GROW
OUR BIBLE STUDY AND SUNDAY SCHOOL
These platforms encourage questions and answers as we learn the bible by books, topics or specific character. We encourage you to come with a pen and a book to keep track of every study. We encourage full participation.
PRAYERS AND FASTING
Nothing encourages growth like intimacy, intimacy with God by doing time in His words and prayers. As we spend time with God He reveals Himself to us more and more, He takes pleasure in us when we long to be with Him.
Fasting is a time when we chose to abstain from the pleasures of food to spend time in His presence exodus 34:28,luke 2:37 (Topic depth in foundation class booklet)
CHURCH GATHERING AND CELL GROUPS
Hebrew 10:25 “and let us not neglect our meeting together as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is near”
we grow in love, unity and strength when we meet. We encourage that you attend all our church services and join a cell group close to your home. Your presence is important to someone!
RESPONSIBILITIES
Nothing accelerates growth more than responsibilities, we encourage you to look for a need in the church and and meet it as God strengthens you. There is always something to do in the house of God!
