FAREWELL BIG MAN
RIP RATEBOGO..

Tomorrow we gather in a mountainous village of Kanye,not just to mourn, but to bear witness to a life that was unashamedly nailed to the old rugged cross. Reverend Lesole was a man who did not soften the gospel to fit the times, nor trade conviction for comfort. In a season where faith is often edited down to what is palatable, he stood as a reminder of what it meant to carry the message of Christ in its raw, uncut form. He preached the cross not as a symbol for decoration, but as the only ground on which sin is forgiven and souls are made whole.

At Kanye PHC and the Christian community at large, he was more than a pastor. He was a watchman on the wall, a father to the weary, and a voice that refused to let the church forget its first love. Those who sat under his ministry will tell you he did not entertain you,he confronted you. He would look past your status, your title, your excuses, and call you back to repentance, holiness, and a life surrendered to Christ. It wasn’t always easy to hear, but it was always true. That is the mark of a hard-core Christian, to love people enough to tell them what will save them, not just what will make them feel better for an hour.

Reverend Lesole lived what he preached. His life was marked by prayer at odd hours, by visits to the sick when no one was watching, by a refusal to let bitterness take root even when the church wounded him. He believed the old hymns, he lived the old disciplines, and he trusted the old promise: that the blood of Jesus is still enough. If you ever wondered what a man looks like who has made his peace with the cross, you only had to spend time with him.

We will lay his body to rest, but the message he carried does not die with him. The old rugged cross still stands, and because of men like Reverend Lesole, many of us know where to run when life breaks us. May we honor him not with empty words, but by picking up that same cross, denying ourselves, and following Christ without compromise.

Rest well, servant of God. You fought the good fight, you finished the course, you kept the faith. And now the Master you served without apology says to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

To Tebogo Lesole and siblings,I send my condolences boy.

Benjamin Kelepang.

The last message when Moruti Lesole handed over the church to the Regional Board, communicated, in a sense, his leadership style. It displayed a man of depth, whose leadership was not just by some stroke of luck, but well thought through and communicated with remarkable clarity and ease.

Moruti Lesole once showed a level of wisdom I only understand today. He said that if he came for prayer and found only one sister present while they were just two, he would cancel the prayer meeting and ask that they each pray from home. At the time I questioned it wondering if it’s about temptations,but now I see it as wisdom and discernment because perception can be stronger than reality.

Truly, “The wise see danger and avoid it” (Proverbs 22:3). It is those who see the specific within the general who walk in lasting wisdom.

The early years of our Father and our Mother.We make no mistake to believe Moruti achieved all we know without the input of Mama Mma Lesole a.k.a Mma Moruti.At this painful time our thoughts and prayers are with her, the children, the grandchildren and the Lesole family at Large.

A word for the family as we celebrate the father they gladly shared with us…

Wisdom and Philosophy of Moruti Lesole Lesole Based in his handover Message:

Let me put Bishop Lesole Lesole’s own words into my own,when he was handing over to the regional board that had come to accept and announce his retirement to the church. He said the church in Kanye is called “Lesole’s church” after his name. To his own surprise, even the members themselves call it that. But he’s glad, because he knows the church belongs to God. He said he’s confident the whole church loves him, because he never planted seeds of division.

His leadership style, he explained, was to split the church into two groups: disciples and general membership. The disciples are those given responsibilities to lead. "I expect them to be above the members, understand how to handle issues and conflicts, and not join the membership in complaints," said Moruti Lesole.
And as for family and relatives Moruti said he never gave them preferential treatment. Not once. Moruti said he never turned the church into a Morubana family, even though some church members are related to him.

After listening to Moeuti this are the four Leadership Principles that I believe define Moruti Lesole:

Own nothing, steward everything:He accepted the church being named after him, but never forgot that it belongs to God. No ego attachment, modest to death.

Zero tolerance for division: He deliberately never planted seeds of division, knowing unity is the foundation of trust and love from the people.

Raise a separate standard for leaders:He created a clear two-tier structure: disciples (leaders) must be above complaints and handle conflict differently than general members. Leadership is a higher calling, not a title.

No family favors:Relatives received zero preferential treatment. Fairness and merit over blood ties. That’s rare and powerful.

Anyone who denies this?
