In this nation where freedom is abused and undermined, Pastor PA Mathebula made a clarion call to the body of Christ to become DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM by standing firm on the foundational TRUTHS and VALUES of the Gospel regardless of the resistance from the world around us.

There is a cost to freedom. We have to pay today for the next generation.

In this anointed thought-provoking sermon, Rev SC Mathebula was inspired by God to teach the congregation about BREAKING SLAVE MENTALITY. Reading from Numbers 13:25-33, he drew a comparison between two conflicting reports brought in by spies to demonstrate a slave mentality and a liberated mentality that is centered on Christ.

Freedom always demands responsibility, learn more as Rev SC unpacks this teaching.

Using the analogy of an old photo development process, Pastor Langton Ndlovu illustrated how God can use pain and suffering to produce a masterpiece out of you. Allow Jesus to use your negatives to produce a full positive picture of you just as He did with Joseph in Genesis 37.

Please don't waste your pain, you went through it for a purpose.

Learn to carry the cross of prayer, so that when there is nothing and no one to speak for you, the cross will intervene and speak for you. We all have different crosses to carry, so find your cross, and pick up your cross. If you are carrying your cross, don't lay it down. The cross is to finance the work of God, to take care of the poor and the needy, to wait on the Lord, and to live a holy life and keep yourself pure.

Don't focus on the adversity, focus on God. No matter what you go through, be the best you can be. Remember, God has hung the destiny of the human race on the Cross, it’s through the exaltation of Him that our destiny is unleashed. Note that evil is just a reminder of our fallen world, but it is also an invitation to seek God's enabling power to face life. So whenever it feels like the world is out of control, all you have to do is LOOK UP & LIVE, and remember that God is in control.

Pressure is a Place of pain, sorrow, trouble suffering, worry, overwhelmed. Outward pressure is always an opportunity to be inwardly transformed. When Pressure comes, do not keep quiet and die alone speak up.

Raise an altar for the Lord in every aspect of your life. The altar is where humility meets with divinity for results beyond your comprehension.

Rev S.C Mathebula teaches what we need to take seriously as it has a major impact on our daily lives. Honouring God, our Parents, Marriages, Authority, Pastors, and Leaders.

Worshipping The Revealed God.

No Devotion Without Sacrifice.

It’s an Honour Not a Waste.

Choose Worship.

Dream and Act Like God.

Q & A

Church at the cutting edge.

Church at the cutting edge.

You become ANOINTED FOR MORE when you have a revelation of who you are. Rev SC Mathebula reminds you that you are not a slave! Be faithful to what you have and step into your authority as a king. It is time to rule. Move into the Kingly anointing wherein you Govern as Christ has instructed you to.

Child of God, it is time to #DreamMore Rev opened up this month of February by describing the power of having a dream. DREAM MORE is a spirit-provoking message anchored on Ephesians 3:20 describing how there is more in God than you can ever think or imagine.

We cannot manifest God while our lifestyle is not reflecting Him. Based on Ephesians 5:1-7 and 3 John 1:11 the message points to three ways with which we can imitate God 1. God is the LORD. This attribute of God allows us to rule over our circumstances and issues. Genesis 4:7 and Jeremiah 49:1.2. God is LOVE. Knowing and walking in the love of God is a great gain in life. It enables us to approach life Knowing that we are loved and can love others. Ephesians 4:15-163. God is LIGHT. God enlightens our lives and we ought to light the world. Let people see our good works and glorify God. Matthew 5:14-16.

The RISING OF THE ANOINTED is a sermon that reminds Christians of the anointing upon them for a holy assignment from God to impact our generation in every sphere of our lives. Pastor Mongwai passionately highlighted how it is vital for the Church to arise, and be seen in times like these.

A Great Awakening is a sudden awareness of things and a quickening of the spirit man or spiritual sense. When it happens in our lives, it awakens us and reveals our hearts, as well as perfects our faith in the Lord. Let us stay awake, like the prophet Isaiah says: Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion (God’s People); put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you. 2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise; sit down, O Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.” Isaiah 52:1-2

A WAKE-UP CALL, signals the end of a night of sleep and the start of a new day, the end of the warmth and comfort of your bed, and the beginning of a new day of work, and it signals the time to get up and confront your fears, a time to assume responsibility. “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.“ Ephesians 5:14-16It’s time to WAKE UP, GET UP, and Show Up!

“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing [Manifestation] of the sons of God.”Romans 8:19 It’s time for the sons and daughters of God to: - Come out in due course [not prematurely] - To Bring [birth] forth what you’ve conceived. - To show forth or display something.- To make evident to the eye.

STILL STANDING is a powerful sermon reminding the saints of the resilience spirit within their hearts. Reading from Psalm 59:16-17 and PSALMS 124: 1-4. Rev SC Mathebula encouraged the Church to stand in FAITH, His WORD, His PROMISES, and His TEACHINGS.

Being highly favored comes with a responsibility to take care of that which God has placed in your life. Rev SC Mathebula shared how the favour of God can locate, transform and spill over to others. He encouraged the Church to honour God with the favour bestowed upon them by walking in righteousness and integrity.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. For his mercy endures forever.

Raise a hallelujah amidst barrenness, barriers, and battles of life. Keep your hallelujah at all cost by not forgetting your season of strength, remembering your place of blessing, and preserving your song for God’s honor.“He appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.”Joshua 6:20 Do not destroy the instrument of your worship!

Where is your FUEL LEVEL AT? How far can you go with what you have at the moment? DO NOT RUN ON EMPTY is a powerful sermon Rev SC preached to remind you that you are only human. Take time to refill in order to go far.

Who is lifting your hands? In this period when most people are tired and desponded, facing attacks from all sides; Rev Mathebula brought Exodus 7 to life teaching the Church to fight a good fight of faith spiritually and physically. We all need an Arron and Hur to lift our hands when the going gets tough. Who is your AARON? Who is your HUR?

You are much more than your past mistakes and failures, and It’s not the size of what you’re up against that matters. What matters is what God the Creator has put in you. So always go by what you know, not by what you feel even as you discover what is in you, and unleash the untapped power God has deposited inside you!

In this period when most of us are feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and tired, today's message was one in a series intended to help the congregation finish strong by FINDING STRENGTH IN GOD.

Go in the strength you have, God has strengthened you for the journey ahead.

Frogs are a nuisance; what frogs are you dealing with? Frogs in your life keep you from enjoying the best of God, In this sermon, Pastor PA Mathebula spoke to all things that are paralyzing you from experiencing God's goodness. Get hold of this message for tools to deal with your frogs today because TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME.

Regaining lost the importance of having a divine strategy to regain the lost ground.

‘Everything you want is on the other side of fear,’ this is how Rev SC Mathebula encouraged the Church to regain whatever ground was lost. In his sermon titled REGAINING LOST GROUND Rev touched on things that make people lose ground as well as how to regain the lost ground. Please visit YouTube and Facebook for the courage to face your fears and regain the ground lost.

Just like Jesus called a man with a withered hand to step forward (Mark 3:1-3), Pastor Mtetwa encouraged the Church to step forward to experience the power of God in their lives in different areas in lives. He identified more than five areas that should be addressed as part of stepping into the zone that God wants you in.If you desire a new level, you have to eat at the new level. In this sermon, Ps Mtetwa illustrated the value of stepping forward toward your breakthrough by responding to His call to step into His zone.

Pastor Makhubu delivered a powerful sermon reminding the congregation that Christians are different from what is normal and/or expected in this world. Preaching from Titus 2:11-15 he demonstrated how Christians should embrace their uniqueness in a world that has conformed to the standard of the day. He charged the congregation to be vigilant and sober-minded in this world full of liars, evildoers, and lazy gluttons, in order to live a righteous and Godly, above the cultures of the day. Let your heritage be built on the fact that you are a peculiar person who is the joint-heir.

Rev SC on how to live a life of purpose

Poverty is not of God and He doesn’t take pleasure in the poverty of His children. The Bible says in Psalms 35:27 “…Let the Lord be magnified, who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” Poverty is not just a lack of money, but also a lack of Ideas. God created us to dominate, rule, and govern the earth, This gets interrupted when we allow poverty to take hold of us because poverty is the killer of dreams and it darkens one’s vision. Always remember; Being broke and being Poor is not the same thing. Being Poor is the state of the mind, and being broke is a stage of life.

A season of favor it’s when God steps into one’s situation to make a worthwhile difference, and God’s anointing makes you stand out wherever you are. When favor locates you, it redirects you and connects you to your destiny. Favour comes with responsibility. Genesis 39:21-22…The Lord was with Joseph; He showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. 22 So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.”

Adv E Zim unpacks how we can overcome the wounds of life and pursue our God-given dreams.

Will the Son of man find faith when He returns? In this message Ps Khali challenges the church to keep the until the end.

Get to learn more on how to keep your passion for the LORD burning in a so ever evolving world.

Ps Makhubu teaches the church about being fervent in the Spirit.

Shining from the inside out is about being generous and selfless with your life as a child of God. Sharing from Mathews 5: 14-17, Rev SC Mathebula illustrated how a Christian can brighten surroundings by giving the best out of what God gave on the inside. The sun does not shine for itself, let it be that you bring light beyond yourself.

Imagine if you had a body without bones, what do you think you would look like? Building From The Inside Out, this is the message Rev SC Mathebula shared with the Church to fortify what is on the inside. This sermon highlighted the importance of building from the inside a structure that is able to hold you tight in all circumstances. According to Rev SC, a good structure is able to give you the power to withstand whatever life throws at you. Invest on the inside in line with 2 Peter 1:3-5, the day's scripture, to ensure you have a strong spiritual, mental, and emotional capacity to handle what life throws at you.

A HEALTHY LIFE BEGINS ON THE INSIDE. Life is built from the inside out. Using the parable of Jesus in Luke. 13:6-9 wherein the gardener comes to the defense of a fruitless fig tree. Rev SC Mathebula beautifully demonstrated how a Believer is a gardener responsible for cultivating a good spiritual and mental space. Rev shared tips on how to get started in living an inside-out life such as guarding your heart with all diligence: Letting go of Bitterness and many more. Child of God, build yourself while praying in the Spirit because the pressure is sure to reveal the treasure that is on the inside of you!

Blessed To Bless reminded the Church how we are blessed for God’s purposes. He shared key principles that outline how God's blessings are earmarked to output. The sermon was inspiring as it helped the Church understand the role they play in advancing the Kingdom of God through the resources God gives.

A passionate word of God on why Christians need to manifest God's colors in this time and age. In his message to the church, Rev SC demonstrated how creation is groaning for the Sons and Daughters of God to be the light that God has called them to be. Using the example of a worm that eventually becomes a butterfly, he encouraged the church to move through the process to eventually reveal the power of God to their environments.

In a world where satan is fiercely attacking men, men ought to stand. When men stand for God’s kingdom. When men stand for Families, the Church, and the Society. When men choose God’s side. When men swim against the tide. When men live for a more significant cause and greater purpose.God is still looking for a man who can stand; Ezekiel 22:30 “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall (the wall of righteousness that guards the land), and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.”

It is through the wounds that our journey begins, but through the scars that we are defined shaped, or defined. No matter who you are, you will not live life without scars. Apostle Paul says this about scars in Galatians 6:17 “From now on, don’t let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.” Scars signify we were in a battle but overcame. Scars show we are more potent than the thing that tried to hurt us. Scars are reminders of what Christ did for us on the Cross.

Storms are not a respecter of persons and they know no color, class, or belief. Storms are an indication of how big your destiny is, note that not all storms come to disrupt your life; some come to test the quality of your faith. No Storm is permanent, But God is. The choices we make amidst storms will determine how long we remain or how quickly we get out of the storm. Our revelation of who Jesus is amidst the storm diminishes the power of the storm. Mark 4:35-41

Ps Jadezweni unpacks the power of speaking life to deadly situations.

Even though our time in this life is temporary, if we live well enough, our legacy will last forever. Just like the daughters of Zelophehad we need to be bold in confronting the status quo, empower ourselves with knowledge to know what’s our legacy and reclaim it. Our God He is a just God, and we must know that a legacy is not just the role and responsibility of the predecessor but ours as well. Think future, don’t settle for less!

A MOTHER’S SACRIFICIAL LOVE is about giving up something you value on behalf of your loved ones. It’s esteeming someone better than yourself to the point of choosing their well-being over yours. Loving moms lay a blanket of sacrifice by placing others' needs above theirs. “For children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.” 2 Corinthians 12:14-15 We need to thoroughly equip the younger generation on kingdom living amidst oppositions. It is our calling to equip our children with a lasting legacy. Without sacrifice, love becomes mere words and empty sentiments, as a sacrifice is the backbone of true, divine love! Ps PA Mathebula

If we are going to Pass On The Baton, we need to follow God’s parameters. “When David’s time to die approached, he charged his son, Solomon, saying, 2 “I’m about to go the way of all the earth, but you be strong; show what you’re made of! Do what God tells you. Walk in the paths He shows you.” 1 Kings 2:1-2 Live with a sense of urgency, doing what needs to be done immediately, without being asked. We ought to live with the future in mind, denying ourselves certain comfort and pleasure, for the sake of the next generation. Don’t Drop The Baton, stay the course and continue with a process, or do something until it’s done!

Living a self-disciplined life is about pursuing the main thing, running after a task regardless of obstacles or challenges you may face in life. “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” 1 Corinthians 9:25 Purpose in your heart, persevere until the end and process everything. Being disciplined is your investment in yourself there is no shortage of people seeking to learn how to develop self-discipline. The problem is, that in their efforts to do so, most will start and then just give up and quit.

If you don’t die to the world you will die in the world because if you don’t die to sin you die in sin. The Bible says; “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 1 John 2:15-17 We have a choice to either live for God or for the traditions of the world. Our freedom to choose must not lead us to live in sin!

Seeds of faith are always within us; sometimes it takes a crisis to nourish and encourage their growth. Sometimes in life, we feel like our dreams are shuttered and we can’t achieve what God has promised anymore, but with Christ on our side, not all is lost. You need to accelerate your faith, be open to restoration, and go back to where it all started.

Jesus knew our state, yet still died for us. “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person, someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”Romans 5:6-8 He took our rejection from the Father so that we’d never know how true rejection feels. We ought to give ourselves completely to Christ - Follow Christ wholeheartedly.

The church is on level ground at the foot of the cross. Christ takes center stage, and you get the revelation of who Christ is in your life. When we come at the foot of the cross, all types of sins are forgiven, families are restored, and our thirst is quenched for good!

When you can’t take it anymore you need to understand that, Life is full of trials, tests and tribulations. Like Job said: “How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble.” Job 14:1. In order to succeed you need to stop believing the lies, know who you are and whose you are, feed on God’s Word, and keep a godly company at all times!

Getting your hands dirty is all about getting involved in what's happening around you, true believers are not spectators, they cause change. Rev SC explains how to get your hands dirty in detail.

Learn how to engage Christ's sufficiency in day-to-day life with Ps J Makhubu.

Fully engaged church, engage in the ultimate sacrifice for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard. 2 Corinthians 8: 2-3 “They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity. For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will. It also engages spontaneously in giving, selflessly and spiritually!

A Daring Godly Army is a resolute and unwavering army, that neutralizes and opposes the works of Satan. Challenges and destroys evil works. Desperate times call for us to set aside pettiness and intentionally come together for fellowship, worship, equipping, and edification. The Godly army requires people who will fellowship together and be united.

See the bigger picture, 1 Cor 12:12 “The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.” Know your part; 1 Corinthians 12:14 “Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.” Know that you are a part; 1 Corinthians 12:18 “But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.” Play your part, Not someone’s part.

Imagine a life where you are not just hanging on to dear life but are living in such freedom with no limitations. Imagine a life where you are able to overcome behaviors that you do not like in yourself. When you live like an overcomer, your life gets transformed, and your identity is restored! Ps S Matumba

Learn to master your mind through God's Word.

Seeing the invisible and doing the impossible is about tuning your spirit man into the heavenly frequency and aligning your mind and body to the spirit, to achieve what the spirit possess. We must operate on earth with heavenly revelation. Don’t just settle for what you see in the natural, and align your mind and body to your spirit;”…it was to us that God revealed these things by His Spirit. For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.” 1 Corinthians 2:10

Imagining what’s next is about an invitation to see, hear and perceive from a blank page. Fresh imagination of a God-world we may have never experienced before. To grow your divine imagination you should increase your scope of imagination and remove your visual barriers. “But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9.

Take charge of your zone, and never neglect your God-given space. Work your field, work your zone, cultivate your zone. Invest in your zone, God is not pleased when we don’t make use of our talents and gifts to advance the kingdom. Guard your heart against apathy; “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor (passion), serving the Lord.” Romans 12:11. Wake up and take charge, you are here for a reason!

Change agents are different people, who see a need, and they have compassion toward others. We can all become an agent of change if we can establish concrete initiatives, put others on the center stage, and be able to see beyond ourselves. “If we wait for others to take action on our behalf we'll be waiting a lifetime.”

Your Failure Isn’t Fatal, failure finds all of us, because failure is a universal reality. However, no matter how often we fall or fail, we can begin to recover again, when we choose to do it God’s way this time and lean into God’s grace. Remember In God’s hands, no defeat is a crushing defeat, so face your failures within God’s goodness. Isaiah 41:13 “For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.” You are part of God’s winning team!

To bring the desired changes in our lives we should be able to take stock of our lives, be brutally honest with ourselves, dethrone ourselves and enthrone Christ in everything we do, and be able to make decisions to change by believing right and living right.“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Rev SC Introduces the Revolution theme for the year 2023.

Heaven on earth is about the Immortal God who lives outside of time, stepping into time. The Invisible God showing up in our circumstances. The Perfect God, dwelling among Imperfect people. A Divine God visiting humanity. When heaven is on earth, The Natural laws become suspended, and supernatural laws are activated; Luke 1:34-35 “Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be since I do not know a man?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you.

You cannot effectively advance the kingdom of God without a grateful attitude. All you need to do is to say Thank You. When the twelve lepers in the book of (Luke 17: 11-19) were healed only one came back to say thank you. These days, we are more concerned with receiving what we have come to cry at the altar for, and yet when prayers are answered we say we thank God from the heart and not vocally. There is something about going back to say thank you, that actually propels you to go further in God’s kingdom.

Shape your mindset to daily Gratitude habits, the Psalmist says; “Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments.” Psalms 119:164 It is in living the life of gratitude that we are able to appreciate everything we have, while we trust God for more. Shift your focus from yourself, and increase your value on what you currently have by thanking God.

“Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT. Your circumstances should not determine why you worship God. Choose not to live in circumstances but live in your prophecy. Your current circumstances are part of the redemption story that God is writing.

While no man can avoid being born average, no man has to stay average. Every next level of your life will demand a different you. The lack of God’s revelation about our lives pins us down to an average life. Live the life God has called you to, which is abundant life; “The thief does not come except to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Believers who continue you in the faith live a self-examined life; “Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don’t drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it.” 1 Corinthians 13:5 They belong to the community of fellow believers, they are prepared to endure every form of difficulty and remain faithful to the end.

When things fall apart you must be undeterred in your faith to keep pressing on, be able to rise amidst circumstances, and cling to your God. Things often fall apart so that better things can fall into place.

God is seeking for man and women who are after His own heart above everything that tries to steal our attention in this world, by steadfastly remaining in God’s will and pleasing Him in all we do. Knowing God’s love and reflecting His character to others. “And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.” Acts 13:22 can God confidently raise you as a man or woman after His heart?

As believers we ought to preserve God’s presence in our lives by, seeking God, keeping godly counsel, having a teachable soul, and a cleansed heart. Remember this; “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,”

A Man Among Men is a visible representation of who God is, God’s likeness; “The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” An imitator of God, and a carrier of God’s Glory. 

What values really define a man? Listen as Rev SC unpacks this one for you.

Men Of Hope Conference 2022, Day 1 Message By Ps PA Mathebula. Do. Not Remain Down.

God is a barrier breaker and is here for you.

God’s provision is meant for us all, and it comes through the hand of man, through God’s hand, and through our own hands. When God calls you to do something, He provides everything it takes to get it done. The Bible says; “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?”  Matthew 6:30 The God of all creation sees you and sees ahead of you. The God of all creation sees you and sees ahead of you, trust in Him.
