WHO WE ARE
· ROFGM is Reachout Full Gospel ministries multicultural, ministerial organization established for independent ministers, churches and outreach ministries. Our membership is is open to all people who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior and are accepted by the local Church and are willing to fulfill the objectives of Reachout Fullgospel Ministries Ltd. We were established in 2004 and got our registration with the Government in 2021. This means that we are approved to extend legal covering, to those churches that qualify.
· Being Reachout Full Gospel Ministries (meaning we believe the Church today should be as the first Church in the Book of Acts) it is our belief that the Gifts of the Spirit are just as active today as with the first church.
There are many reasons for
affiliating with us. We stand ready to assist both the seasoned and
beginning ministers.
· Sometimes one can feel like a "displaced" person because they came up in a denominational structure that they no longer feel comfortable in and yet "alone" without. Still others that do not belong to any denomination, nor have a desire to belong, want spiritual authority over them. This is Scriptural and imperative for today.
OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH:
What we believe, the fundamental articles of Faith. (I Cor 1:10; Acts 2:42).
I beseech you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, and that you all continue steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship.
a) The Holy Spirit worked with the Father and the Son to create the world. The Father gave His Spirit to make us like His Son, Jesus Christ. The Jesus Christ we know is Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. He made a wonderful promise in John 14:16-17: “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever — the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.”The Holy Spirit is to be with us forever. He is not known or received by everyone, but only by those who are prepared for Him. The Holy Spirit shows us how wrong our sins are. He helps us to accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour. He completely changes our lives. This is called being converted or born again.
b) Jesus Christ is a soul-winner. That is what He came for, lived for, died for and rose again for. He came to restore the relationship and fellowship between God and man. As to His human nature, Jesus Christ was a descendant of David. As to His divine nature, He was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death on the third day. Now He sits at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2; Romans 1:2-4). He was at all points tempted just as we are, yet was without sin. Jesus Christ loves us, died for us, reigns in power for us and still prays for us.
c) Holy men of God were carried along by the Holy Spirit as they spoke the message that came from God. The Holy Bible is more than long-ago events and ancient wisdom. It is God’s message of grace and truth to us today (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).
d) Sin points one to eternal death and destruction but God’s Word points one to life. If Christ Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, a new body, a new soul and a new spirit await us one day. God’s Spirit joins Himself to our spirit to declare that we are God’s children (Romans 8:16).
e) Salvation is to be set free from sin and its penalties and is received by faith in the cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus Christ. Each man has to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, otherwise Jesus’ death will not save him.
f) God’s Word refreshes our minds while God’s Spirit renews our strength. To be born again, not only must we have God’s Word but also His Spirit, mixed with repentance and faith in our hearts.
g) Divine healing is the supernatural power of God bringing health to the human body. It is received by faith in the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the punishment Jesus Christ received before and during His crucifixion was for our healing – spirit, soul and body. By His stripes, we are healed. Divine healing was included in the benefits that Jesus Christ bought for us at Calvary.
h) Water baptism is the ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures, by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4.
i) Baptism in the Holy Spirit. We also believe in speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4). All who enter into the number of the body of Christ do so because they are baptized in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13; Romans 8:9). When you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, God’s power will come upon you as it did on the first disciples on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). When God’s power comes upon you, the Holy Spirit will affect everything about you. The Holy Spirit produces rivers of life, joy, love, peace and power to flow out of your spirit for the needs of others (John 7:37-38).
j) The Lord’s Supper as was celebrated by Jesus Christ and His disciples in Matthew 26:26-28,”While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat; this is My body.’ Then He took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.’” As the disciples of old were instructed to partake of the Lord’s Supper by Jesus Christ, we also partake of the Lord’s Supper (2 Peter 1:4), upon the instruction of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10; 11:26-31).
k) Jesus Christ will come again, just as He went away (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians. 4:16-17).
l) We believe that all Christians should be faithful citizens and obedient to the state government; in upholding and maintaining the law of the state. Government is ordained by God. Every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith, that each Company is independent and autonomous and should be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority, while at the same time every Company must corporate with, uphold and implement the civil laws, policies and programmes of government, seeing that they are for the good of the whole man. Acts 6:1-7; Romans 13:1-7; 14:7-12; Titus 3:1, I Peter 2:13-14; Matt 2:21).
