Spiritual warfare is a reality in the Christian life, and the first step to winning it is keeping Christ at the centre. In this message, Apostle Kenneth Makopo reminds us that Jesus said He would build His Church, so we must never take His place in His house. Like John the Baptist, we say, “He must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30). Our future is in His hands, and nothing can be accomplished without Him.

The devil is aggressive, coming to steal, kill and destroy, and he often targets our areas of weakness. That is why we must understand ourselves, stay spiritually alert, and not be ignorant of the disappointment and betrayal that can come in relationships and in our walk with God. The enemy also uses discouragement and negative thoughts as weapons to weaken our faith.
But we are not helpless. Stand firm, resist the devil in the name of Jesus, and “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). Fill your mind with God’s Word and prayer, and encourage yourself in the Lord, even in difficult seasons.
Our strength is not in ourselves but in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Tune in to learn how to keep Christ at the centre, resist the enemy and guard your mind with the Word of God.

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Pastor Tsholo Makopo teaches that knowing God requires intentional spiritual growth, prayer and personal fellowship with Him. Our relationship with God begins in private, and the more we know Him, the more we experience His grace, favour and power. She emphasises that spiritual growth is not automatic but requires us to take responsibility for our intimacy with God. As we spend time in His presence, we are transformed into His likeness and become a true reflection of His glory to the world.

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Apostle Kenneth Makopo teaches believers to let go of the past and embrace the new things God has prepared for them. He emphasises that ignorance and negative thoughts can hinder spiritual growth, making knowledge of God's Word essential. He explains that our words and prayers are powerful weapons of victory during trials and tribulations. Finally, he encourages believers to meditate on the Word of God daily, trusting in His promises for success, prosperity and victory in life.

The problem is not that you don't have an identity; it's that you're not walking in it. In this message, Pastor Thoyisi reminds us that "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17), and your old way of thinking no longer decides what happens to you.

Your history does not define you, and your past is not your full book; God is still writing your story. Like Mephibosheth, restored to the king's table because of a covenant (2 Samuel 9:7–8), God remembers His covenant with you, not your failures. And like Gideon, He calls you mighty even when you feel weak (Judges 6:12). Your identity is not what you feel, but what God says.

Pastor Thoyisi also challenges us to take off the grave clothes (John 11:44), renew our minds (Romans 12:2), and surround ourselves with godly community, so we listen to God's voice above the noise. Stand on these truths: you are the righteousness of God, seated with Christ, more than a conqueror, and truly set free.

Tune in and learn how to reject false labels, speak in agreement with God, and live a life worthy of your calling.

This Sunday at Faithpoint Cape Town, Pastor Sam reminded us that every believer will face seasons of weariness, when the battle feels long, and our strength runs short. Yet Paul, writing from prison, declared that what had happened to him had actually served to advance the gospel (Philippians 1:12). There are no accidents with God; the very things you go through are the things He uses for His glory. You may be "struck down, but not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:9).

Like Gideon's men, who were "exhausted yet keeping up the pursuit" (Judges 8:4), your fatigue does not disqualify you. The moment you grow tired, the Holy Spirit comes alongside you and helps you in your weakness (Romans 8:26).

God "gives strength to the weary" (Isaiah 40:29) and will meet every one of your needs according to His glorious riches (Philippians 4:19).

This is not the time to give up. The One who set you on this race will resupply you to finish it!
