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?

Join us at FaithPoint Church Tlhabane as Apostle Kenneth Makopo shares a focused message on closing 2025 well and entering 2026 spiritually prepared. He calls believers to reflect on the past, release fear and condemnation, and step into the new year through prayer, fasting, and reliance on God’s Word.
At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo reminded us to return to the true meaning of Christmas. From Matthew 2 and Isaiah 9:6–7, we are reminded that Christmas is a Kingdom announcement — a King has arrived and His authority reigns above all.
Christmas must awaken our spiritual sensitivity, confront every false authority in our lives, and lead us into generous giving unto God. This season calls us to move beyond tradition and truly acknowledge who Jesus is and why He came.
As we honour Him in holiness and live as heirs of His Kingdom, Christmas becomes more than a celebration, it becomes worship.
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.” – Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
Join us this Christmas Day at FaithPoint Church Tlhabane as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the greatest gift ever given to humanity. In this special Christmas service, Apostle Kenneth Makopo shares a message that reminds us that Jesus is not only a baby born in a manger, but the King of kings and Lord of lords. This episode calls us to put God first and to honor Him and only Him this Christmas.
At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Pastor Tsholofelo Makopo reminds us that God is a God of grace. Even when we fail or miss it, God is not finished with us. Like David, Peter, Samson, and the prodigal son, we learn that falling is not the end, getting up is what matters. God’s mercy meets us every morning, His purpose for our lives is still active, and victory is already programmed into our future. When you fall, rise again, grace is at work.
At FaithPoint Church Cape Town, Pastor Jay Makopo reminded us that we are not only carriers of the Gospel — we are the message. As ambassadors of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20) and living letters known and read by all (2 Corinthians 3:1), our lives speak long before our words do. Just as Jesus was the Word He preached (John 1:1), God reveals His glory through every part of our story, including our pain, trials, and process.
This message calls us to guard what God has entrusted to us by remaining in His presence, receiving His loving correction, and boldly sharing our testimony. When we steward our lives well, we protect the message within us.
Don’t diminish your message. God is using your story to reveal Himself to the world.
“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.” – 2 Corinthians 5:20 (NIV)
This week at FaithPoint Johannesburg, Pastor Jay reminded us that God is doing a new thing, but we often miss it because we are holding onto the past (Isaiah 43:18–19). Letting go breaks the enemy’s hold and helps us perceive the way God is making, even in the wilderness. Using Saul’s story in 1 Samuel 9 & 10, Pastor Jay showed how baggage in the form of fear, pain, and background, can cause us to hide from God’s calling. God’s choice and anointing are not cancelled by our past, but hiding can prevent us from receiving what He has already spoken. Stop hiding behind your baggage. Step into what God has chosen you for

This week at FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Apostle Makopo shares a powerful message on genuine commitment to God. He challenges shallow Christianity, reminds believers that walking with God requires discipline and obedience, and calls the church back to repentance and holiness. Using Scripture, he encourages honest self-examination, dealing with persistent sin, and making a clear decision about how far you are willing to go in your walk with God. This message calls believers to a deeper, more serious relationship with God.
This week at FaithPoint Johannesburg, Pastor Jay reminded us how far grace reaches. Through the story of the Prostitute Rahab (Joshua 2: 1-24), he reminded us that grace isn’t for the qualified but for those who believe and have faith in Jesus Christ. Rahab was living in sin, rebellion, and brokenness, yet God chose her house and saved her because she believed. Grace can’t be earned, can’t be lost, and is drawn to weakness. What moved God wasn’t Rahab’s perfection but her faith. She had Faith in God’s power, His character, and His Word. Her belief placed her in the lineage of Jesus. Your faith can place you in God’s story, too. Grace reaches low, lifts high, and chooses the unlikely

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Apostle Kenneth Makopo delivers a hard-hitting message on what real faith actually costs. He breaks down why prayer is your strongest weapon, why the fear of God still matters, and why God is not someone to treat casually. This episode cuts through soft Christianity and reminds us that your choices shape your future, your relationship with God, and your eternity.
At FaithPoint Church Johannesburg, Pastor Jay Makopo called the church back to spiritual sensitivity in Catching Feelings: Numb No More. When your heart grows numb, you stop feeling what God feels, and that’s where danger begins. Sin waits for numbness (Genesis 4:7), and when God speaks but nothing stirs you, it’s a sign your spirit needs revival. Pastor Jay highlighted three signs of numbness: becoming unteachable, holding on to “old wine” instead of embracing what God is doing now, and living off past victories while missing the demands of the present season. But numbness is not permanent. God invites you to return with all your heart, to fast faithfully, to pray again, to feel again. He wants to restore the tenderness, conviction, and fire you once had. “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” - Joel 2:12 NIV

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane Apostle Makopo teaches that life’s battles demand responsibility, a renewed mind, and a warrior mentality.
Your greatest enemies are your thoughts and your words, and without change, you’ll stay stuck.
God fights for you, but you must also fight, average Christianity won’t carry you through real challenges.
You overcome by using your spiritual weapons: the Word, prayer, praise, worship, faith, confession, intercession, and courage.
This message calls every believer to rise from victimhood and live as a conqueror in Christ.
