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 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

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

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.
