Afaayo Africa Ministries is founded on the Bible and its revelation of Jesus Christ. Our constitution enshrines the Statement of Faith of the Association of Evangelicals as summarized below: –
We believe in: –
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES of the Old and the New Testament (a total of 66 Books) are the Word of God. It is divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, and entirely trustworthy and serves as a supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Tim.3: 16-17).
GOD is ONE. The one God is eternally self-existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut.6:4-5; Mt. 28:19)
JESUS CHRIST is Savior and Lord. As God, He was manifest in the flesh. We believe His virgin birth; His sinless human life; His divine miracles; His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection; His ascension; His mediatorial work; and His future personal return in Power and Glory (Lk.1: 32-33; Jn.1: 1-4; 1 Tim.2: 5-6; 6:13-16).
HOLY SPIRIT is God. As the third Person in the Godhead, He indwells every believer upon conversion and enables the believer to live a holy life; to witness in power; and to work for the Lord Jesus Christ (Act. 5:3-4; Mt.28: 19; Acts.1: 8).
HUMAN BEINGS were made in the image of God and sinless. By choice, humans fell out of favor into sin. In God’s mercy, SALVATION comes to every lost and sinful person freely and simply by faith in Jesus Christ who shed His blood for sin, and through regeneration by the Holy Spirit (Gen.1: 26-28; 3:1-21; Jn.1: 11-13, 1Cor. 12:13)All believers in Jesus Christ are ONE BODY, the Church, of which He is the Head – (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 2:1).
SATAN is a fallen angel whose intent is to supplant God and frustrate His purpose, and whose ultimate end is consignment to eternal punishment (Luke 10:17-18; Rev. 20:10).
BODILY RESURRECTION of all the dead will take place someday. Believers in Christ will rise unto everlasting blessedness while unbelievers will rise unto judgment and everlasting punishment (Rev. 20:11-15; 2 Cor.5: 9-10).
