  • ABOUT APOSTLE BEN

    Apostle Ben Hanyani Ndobe
    is the founder, visionary and apostolic leader of Dominion Life Cathedral International, based in Tembisa, Johannesburg, South Africa. In 1987, Apostle Ben Ndobe left his medical studies to pursue the call of God into the ministry upon his life. He served under the leadership of his spiritual father, Sam Stark at New Life church where he also completed his Bible College training. In 1991, after having served faithfully, the leadership released him to pioneer his own work. That same year, in the month of August, Dominion Life Cathedral International was established. The church has since grown significantly over the years, with several other churches planted both within and outside of the country. Apostle Ben Ndobe is one of the most solid, Biblical and theologically sound teachers of the word of God who teaches the word of God with absolute clarity and boldness.

    He ministers as an apologist for the faith; a debater and a lawyer in a spiritual sense for the plans and the purposes of God, endeavouring to establish and build Gods value system in the lives of his hearers. He is also mightily used of God in the prophetic office. His passion about God's kingdom has seen him raise and adopt sons in his ministry and provides apostolic oversight and covering over them. Apostle Ben Ndobe is also an Allumnus of the world famous Haggai Institute and has also served as one of their international faculty for several years. He is also the author of a life changing book, "Passing the money test."

    Apostle Ben Ndobe is a well traveled and a much sought after speaker in the body of Christ, both within and outside of the country. He preaches the gospel in local churches, conferences, seminars, conventions and camp-meetings. He is married to his lovely wife, Pastor Thandi Ndobe, who also serves with him in the ministry as one of the associate pastors. They are blessed with children.

  • STATEMENT OF FAITH

    DOMINION LIFE CATHEDRAL STATEMENT OF FAITH.

    1. We believe the Scriptures to be the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and as such they are revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life (2Tim. 3:16; 1Pet. 2:2).

    2. We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three person, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matt. 28:19; Mark 12:29)

    3. We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true Man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. (Matt. 1:18; Luke 1:26-27; John 1:1, 14; 1Tim. 2:5).

    4. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and shed His blood as a sacrifice for our sins; He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and is seated at his right hand of the Majesty on High and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood (Acts. 2:32-36; 1Cor. 15:3-8; Heb. 9:11:14; 10:12; 1Pet. 2:24, Romans 5:1).

    5. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to glorify Christ, to convict men of sin, righteousness and judgment and to empower the believer. (John 15:26; 16:8; 14; Acts 1:8).

    6. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin. (Gen. 1:26:26-31; 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21).

    7. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God (John 1:12,13, John 3:3-5, 1 Pet 1:23).

    8. We believe that man can justified only by grace through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:24-28; Eph. 2:8-10).

    9. We believe that water baptism by immersion identifies us with the death and burial of Christ and that we should arise to walk in newness of life. (Rom. 6:3-9; 1Pet 3:21)

    10.We believe that the true Church is composed of such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (Eph. 2:19-22; 1Pet. 24,5)

    11.We believe in the personal, literal second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge both the living and the dead. (Acts. 24:15; 1Cor. 15:51-52-52, 1Thess. 4:16; Heb. 9:27; Rev. 20:11-15)

    12.We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead. (Acts 24:15; 1Cor. 15:35:44; Rev 20:11-15)

    13.We believe in believe in everlasting blessedness for the believer, with judgment and everlasting punishment for the unbeliever. (Matt. 7:21-23; John 5:29; Rev. 20:11-115).

    14.We believe that the Church is the body of Christ expressed as the church individual, the church local and the church universal and invisible. As such we believe the Church to be more than just a building or a gathering of people. It is a Body living in relationship and harmony under direction of the Head, Jesus Christ. (Rom. 12:4-5; 16:5; 1Cor. 6:15; 12:12-31; 2Cor. 1:1; Eph. 2:19-22; 4:11-16; 1Pet. 2:4-5).

    15.We believe in the local church and its authority as the local expression of the church universal and that it has authority in matters of settling disputes among believers (Matthews 18:15-17), discipline and moral conduct (1 Cor 5:1-5,12,13) and doctrine (Acts 15:22-28).

    16.We believe in the autonomy of each local church and that itinerant ministers should be based out of and related to a local church with accountability to a senior minister. (Acts 11:1; 15)

    17.With regards to sexual behavior, we believe in heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman, within the confines of lawful matrimony. Adherence to this principle of sexual behavior is an inherent requirement of membership of Dominion Life Cathedral (Gen 1:26-28, 2:18,21-25, Rom 1:21-28).
