FaithPoint Church Podcast

At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo delivered a powerful message focusing on 1 Samuel 10:17 - 22. Israel had been delivered from oppression, yet fear led them to ask for a king. They did not want slavery again; they wanted visible security instead of invisible trust. Through Saul’s story, we see how insecurity and fear can quietly shape and ultimately sabotage a calling. Though Saul came from a good father and was chosen by God, he allowed insecurity and fear to erode his obedience and cost him his inheritance. What begins as uncertainty can become destruction when it is not surrendered to God. When fear and false security lead, you drift; but when Christ leads, you walk in courage and true security. You are not defined by your past, your trauma, or your fears. In Christ, you are being transformed into someone new. “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” - Romans 8:37 (NIV)

Join us at FaithPoint Church Tlhabane for a powerful teaching on biblical faith and the grace of God. The Word reveals that grace is what God provides through Christ, and faith is the means by which we receive it. Scripture makes it clear that unbelief limits what God desires to do, while faith rooted in Him brings justification, victory, and answered prayer. The message reminds us that faith is not positive thinking but a response to hearing and obeying God’s Word. In the Kingdom of God, faith is essential, lived daily, and anchored fully in the character and promises of the Almighty.

At FaithPoint Church Thlabane, Apostle Makopo teaches that God is moved by faith, not emotions or appearances. Believers are called to walk by faith, speak faith, and actively use it, even when circumstances look impossible. Faith must be developed through the Word of God and released through words, not silence. Passive belief produces nothing; only active, radical faith brings change, victory, and answered prayer.

At FaithPoint Church Johannesburg, Pastor Jay teaches that true love is defined by God, not emotions or culture. Biblical love is proven through offering and sacrifice, where the old self dies and God receives our best. Sin damages our relationship with God, others, and ourselves, but love covers sin and calls for repentance. Trials, pain, and sacrifice do not mean God is absent; they refine us and deepen genuine, committed love.

At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo taught that true love always leads us to the altar. Anchored in Leviticus 4:32–35, this message reminds us that love in God’s kingdom is revealed through offering and sacrifice. We are called to bring ourselves fully before Him, to die to self, to give God our best, and to allow what does not serve His kingdom to be burned away. True love is proven in how we respond to our circumstances. It adapts in obedience rather than retreating in comfort, choosing surrender over self-preservation. When we lay our lives down at the altar, Christ is formed in us, and our worship becomes visible, valuable, and transformative. “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” — Romans 12:1 (NIV)

Join us at FaithPoint Church Tlhabane as apostle shares an important message on using our Faith to believe

At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo reminded us that true love begins with God, because God is love. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13:1–13, this message teaches that without love, nothing we do has lasting value, and that not all love reflects God’s heart unless it is rooted in Him. Through the story of Ruth (Ruth 1:1–18), we see that circumstances reveal the condition of our love. Transformational love adapts rather than reacts, clinging to God through loss and uncertainty, and remaining faithful in every season. Like Ruth, and ultimately like Jesus, true love is proven through obedience, not just words. “Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” – 1 John 4:16 (NIV)

In the final part of the Accelerate series, Pastor Jay Makopo unpacks the powerful truth. That is, God is not bound by time in the same way we are. This message reminds us that God dwells outside of time, and through His grace, He can redeem, restore, and accelerate seasons that feel delayed or long. We are called to walk wisely, honour what God has given us, invest more than we take, and not despise small beginnings. Time is redeemed when we produce fruit, not just pursue outcomes. Rooted in Matthew 20, this message shows that God’s vineyard is more fruitful than the marketplace. Redemption comes to those who stand on His Word, respond when He calls, and walk in humility. God chooses by grace, not entitlement, and comparison can blind us to His work in our own lives. Trust God’s timing, remain faithful, and He will redeem the time

In Part 3 of the Accelerate series, at FaithPoint Johannesburg, Pastor Jay Makopo draws from Exodus 13–16, the Israelites’ journey through the wilderness, to remind us that God’s power is often revealed in the process, not just the promise. What feels like delay is often divine preparation. The challenging journey shapes our character and reveals whether Christ is truly our foundation. Jesus is not the vehicle to the promise — He is the way, and everything we build must be built through Him. When we let go of doubt, disobedience, and complaining, God positions us for acceleration. “For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11 (ESV)

In Part 2 of the Accelerate series, at FaithPoint Johannesburg, Pastor Jay Makopo reveals how the pursuit of “perfect conditions” can hinder obedience. Rooted in Luke 9:57–62, this message challenges the tendency to hesitate, look back, or wait until life feels settled before fully following Jesus. Through Noah's example (Genesis 6), we are reminded that faith is demonstrated not by flawless circumstances, but by obedience to a perfect God. Noah trusted God’s word and acted before the rain came. His obedience was based not on certainty of the outcome but on confidence in who God is. As we accelerate, we are called to let go of perfectionism, stop negotiating the cost of following Jesus, and move forward without turning back. “No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” - Luke 9:62 (NIV)

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Pastor Tsholo Makopo reminds us that true acceleration begins with knowing who you are in God. Speed without the right direction is pointless, and you can’t run God’s race without His guidance. Sometimes God delays to protect you, and standing still can be part of His process. The message highlights key blockers to acceleration: spiritual disconnection, comparison, mental laziness, wrong relationships, and operating outside your grace.

On the first Sunday of 2026, At FaithPoint Johannesburg, we kick-off the Accelerate series, a call to move with God’s urgency and intention. Pastor Jay Makopo reminds us that acceleration is not only about speed, but about readiness. From 1 Kings 18, we see that before the rain came, Elijah prepared in the secret place, persevered in prayer, and responded to even the smallest sign. Acceleration demands preparation, watchfulness, and the willingness to remove anything that could hinder us when God increases the pace. Blessings, open doors, and favour can overwhelm those who are unprepared. The question remains: are we ready to run when God accelerates? “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…” - Hebrews 12:1–2 (NIV)

On the first Sunday of 2026, at FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Apostle Kenneth Makopo delivers a direct message on the power of prayer. He reminds us that prayer is not a quick fix, real answers come through consistent, disciplined prayer. When prayers aren’t answered, the issue is usually us, not God. He calls believers back to holiness, repentance, and daily victory over sin through prayer and fasting, challenging the church to focus on making disciples, not chasing material things, as we begin 2026 with a deeper, more personal walk with God

At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo marked the crossover with a prophetic call to urgency, authority, and forward movement. Declaring Isaiah 54:17, we crossed over knowing that no weapon formed against God’s people will prevail — not monitoring spirits, not bloodline curses, not the past. The message carried a clear mandate: the time is short. We cannot remain stuck in seasons, emotions, or distractions when the Great Commission still stands (1 Corinthians 7:29–31). This is a moment to wake up, discern the times, and respond with obedience and urgency. As we step into 2026, FaithPoint Church moves with one word across all campuses: Accelerate. God is redeeming time, restoring what was lost, and releasing kingdom speed. Run with the vision. The time is now. “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For the vision awaits an appointed time… though it tarries, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” – Habakkuk 2:2–3 (ESV)

As we cross into 2026 at FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Pastor Tsholo Makopo reminds us that God does nothing without purpose. What God speaks is meant to shape us, test us, and move us toward our calling. This message challenges believers to stop repeating the same mistakes, to move from just hearing God’s Word to actually living it, and to carry forward the lessons of past encounters with Him. As we step into a new year, we are called to carry God’s faithfulness, our assignments, and the discipline of obedience because God is not finished with our purpose yet. "Don't use your circumstances to Judge the Glory of God"

At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo anchored this message in John 11, the death and resurrection of Lazarus, calling the church to awaken, pray, and believe Like Never Before. Higher levels bring greater resistance, and this is a season of urgency and faith. 2026 cannot meet us asleep (Ephesians 5:14). Through Lazarus’ story, we are reminded to believe in our future beyond our past (“If you believe, you will see the glory of God” — John 11:40), to remove every obstacle that stands in the way (“Take away the stone” — John 11:39), and to speak life to what seems dead (“Lazarus, come out” — John 11:43). There is power in declaring God’s Word (Romans 10:8–9). The dead man came out, but the grave clothes still had to be removed (John 11:44). This is a call to shed what belongs to the old life and commit fully to the new. If you have Jesus, you have everything. Do you believe this — like never before? 14:27
