Melchisedec International University is a non-denominational, non-profit Christian education and seminary institution established by the Lord Jesus through His anointed servant Dr. John A. Daniel.

The institution was physically founded by Dr. John A. Daniel on 15th January 2000 and approved by the Federal Government of Nigeria as Help and Reconciliation Ministry and Bible Training College, with vested authority to award diploma certificates to its students.

Due to popular demand from both students and graduates who could not afford fees for degree programs at other theological institutions — and following the Lord's direction — the institution was upgraded to a degree-awarding university, approved and registered by the Federal Government in November 2007, hence the final birth of Melchisedec Graduate Bible Academy.
