About Us
Our Mission & Vision
Dr. Andrew and his wife Joyce Kirya, are the founders of Kingdom Increase Ministries, a 501 (c) (3) non – profit religious organization based in Alaska, USA. The name of the ministry “Kingdom Increase” was birthed into Pastor Andrew’s heart from Isaiah 9:7 which says, “Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgement and justice from this time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” In the New Testament, Angel Gabriel’s message to Mary about the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ in Luke 1:32-33 says, “He will be great and will be called the son of the highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” The vision of Kingdom Increase Ministries is to advance the Gospel of God’s kingdom in His power to all Nations and equip believers according to Matthew 24:14, 28: 18 -20; Ephesians 4: 11 -16. The mission of Kingdom Increase Ministries is for every believer in Jesus Christ to live in the reality of God’s kingdom, rule and power in their Day-to-day life. Secondly, that God’s kingdom increase in and through their lives here on earth according to Isaiah 61:1-3 which says, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are
bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
What We Believe
The Holy Bible
The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the Final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant (2Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-‐21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-‐26).
Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are co-‐equal and co-‐eternal (I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-‐17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-‐11).
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory (John 1:1,14, 20:28; 1Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-‐6; 1Timothy 2:5).
Virgin Birth
Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary’s womb; therefore, He is the Son of God (Matthew 1:18, 25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18, 23-‐25; Luke 1:27-‐35).
Redemption
Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen.1:26-‐31, 3:1-‐7; Romans 5:12-‐21).
Regeneration
For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential (John 6:44, 65).
Salvation
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts (Ephesians 2:8-‐9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-‐10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews
9:22).
Repentance
Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation (Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:9).
Sanctification
Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ’s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (1Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-‐18, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-‐3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-‐2, Hebrews 2:11).
Jesus’ Blood
The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death (1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-‐12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29).
Jesus Christ Indwells All Believers
Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead (John 1:12; John 14:17, 23; John 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelations 3:20).
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and Fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-‐31). This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 8:12-‐17; 10:44-‐46; 11:14-‐16; 15:7-‐9). With the baptism in the Holy Spirit come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit (John 7:37-‐39; Acts 4:8), a deepened reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Hebrews 12:28), an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work (Acts 2:42), and a more active love for Christ, for His Word, and for the lost (Mark 16:20).
The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-‐10,28), but different in purpose and use.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel.
The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters (Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12:4-‐8; Ephesians 4:16; 2 Timothy 1:5-‐16, 4:14; 1 Corinthians 12:1-‐31, 14:1-‐40; 1 Peter 4:10).
The Church
The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus’ great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-‐22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-‐23).
Healing of the Sick
Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus and included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign which is to follow believers. It is also a part of Jesus’ work on the Cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit (Psalm 103:2-‐3; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-‐17; Mark 16:17-‐18; Acts 8:6-‐7; James 5:14-‐16; 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28; Romans 11:29).
God’s Will for Provision
It is the Father’s will for believers to become whole, healthy and successful in all areas of life.
1. Spiritual (John 3:3-‐11; 2 Corinthians 5:17-‐21; Romans 10:9-‐10).
2. Mental and Emotional (2 Timothy 1:7, 2:11; Philippians 4:7-‐8; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3).
3. Physical (Isaiah 53:4-‐5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).
4. Financial (Joshua 1:8; Malachi 3:10-‐11; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-‐10; Deuteronomy 28:1-‐14; Psalm 34:10, 84:11; Philippians 4:19).
Resurrection
Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation (Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-‐21, 20:26-‐28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:42, 44; Philippians 1:21-‐23, 3:21).
Heaven
Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4).
Hell
After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell where they will be eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels (Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-‐48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-‐11, 20:12-‐15, 21:8).
Second Coming
Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures (Matthew 24:30, 26:63-‐64; Acts 1:9-‐11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-‐17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-‐8; Revelation 1:7).
