KingsWord Ministries International was conceived in August 1990 when God spoke to Kayode Ijisesan fondly known as Pastor Kay the words “…raise me a supernatural army” in an unusual divine encounter. He was a college student in a Pharmacy School at this time. The first seed of this great vision was planted in Aprill 1993 with the inception of a college ministry originally known as Victory Christian Fellowship now KingsWord Campus Church, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
On November 21, 1997, KingsWord Ministries International (KMI) was officially commisioned. The Church arm of the ministry known as KingsWord International Church (KIC) was later inaugurated on the 31st of December, 1997 in the city of Lagos, Nigeria. Presently, there are twelve vibrant Churches in Lagos metropolis alone.
God instructed the set man, Pastor Kay to relocate his family to the United States in November 1999. KingsWord International Church, Chicago which is presently the Apostolic headquarter of the ministry was established on the 1st of September, 2002. In obedience to God, the ministry has planted Churches that are committed to discipling this generation in the supernatural power and principles of God in four continents thereby fulfilling KingsWord Everywhere mandate.
The weekly broadcast of the ministry, ‘The King’s Word’ is seen in over 200 nations on several television networks.

There it is! The vision that qualifies us and makes us unique! KingsWord is not a mere seeker-sensitive gathering that plays down on the manifest presence of God. Rather, we desire to see God move in our midst in reality – no taste for mere religion! We are a church that believes every member is meant to fulfill his or her God-given calling and purpose and utilize the unique “raising” grace upon the church to realize a glorious destiny here on earth, in anticipation for a great reward in heaven. This is our hope for every member of this supernatural army.
