JESUS, THE CHRIST
SUNDAY SERVICE | 30 AUGUST 2026
Speaker: Elder Gabolekwe

MATTHEW 16:13–18

Elder Gabolekwe opened the sermon with Jesus’ question to His disciples: “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” After hearing different answers, Jesus asked the question that matters most:

“But who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

This was more than information. It was revelation.

But something powerful happened in that same encounter. Peter did not only receive revelation about Jesus; his own identity was also revealed and changed.

Jesus said to him:

“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church.” Matthew 16:18

Peter was known as Simon Bar Jonah, but Jesus called him Peter.

He entered the encounter as Simon, but Jesus spoke to the identity He was going to build.

Simon was associated with instability, but Jesus saw Peter, the rock.

The man who would later deny Jesus three times would eventually stand boldly and preach Christ before rulers.

This shows us something powerful: when you encounter Jesus, He does not only change your circumstances; He changes you.

Elder Gabolekwe emphasised that there is a difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Jesus. A person can know theology, attend church, read the Bible, sing about Jesus and even preach about Him, yet still lack a personal revelation of who He truly is.

Drawing from Apostle Ezekiel Guti’s Two Ways of Knowing God, Elder Gabolekwe spoke about knowing God through theology and knowing Him through personal experience and revelation. Knowledge can inform us, but an encounter with God transforms us.

Elder Gabolekwe shared from his own testimony of prayer, fasting, seeking God and searching the Scriptures. His declaration was simple:

“I don't just know about Him. I know Him.”

He reminded the church of Paul’s words:

“For I know whom I have believed.” 2 Timothy 1:12

When everything else is shaken, Jesus remains.

When doors close, Jesus remains.

When our strength is gone, Jesus remains.

Elder Gabolekwe further showed that an encounter with Jesus changes a person. Abram became Abraham. Jacob became Israel. Simon became Peter. Saul became Paul. Zacchaeus encountered Jesus and his character changed.

When Jesus enters your life, something must change.

He changes your thinking, your character, your direction, your desires and your purpose.

As 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”

Elder Gabolekwe reminds us that the old life cannot remain in control when Christ becomes Lord.

And there is something else we must understand: there is power in the name of Jesus.

In Acts 3, Peter looked at the lame man and declared:

“In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

It was not Peter’s name.

It was not John’s name.

It was the name of Jesus!

Acts 4:12 declares that there is salvation in no other name. Philippians 2:9 to 11 tells us that God has highly exalted Jesus and given Him the name above every name.

Your problem may be big, but Jesus is bigger.

Your storm may be violent, but Jesus is Lord over the storm.

Your situation may look impossible, but Jesus has the final word.

Daniel faced the lions. The three Hebrew men faced the fire. The woman with the issue of blood faced sickness. Bartimaeus faced blindness. Lazarus faced death.

But they encountered Jesus.

You may enter the fire, but the fire will not have the final word.

You may enter the lions’ den, but the lions will not have the final word.

You may walk through the valley, but the valley will not have the final word.

JESUS HAS THE FINAL WORD!

Elder Gabolekwe then brought the sermon to the cross, the greatest demonstration of Christ’s love. Jesus was rejected, beaten, crucified and buried, yet He still prayed:

“Father, forgive them.”

But the grave could not hold Him.

JESUS ROSE!

Because He lives, we have hope.

Because He lives, we have salvation.

Because He lives, we have victory.

The sermon ended with the same question Jesus asked Peter:

WHO DO YOU SAY JESUS IS?

He is the Christ.

He is the Son of the living God.

He is the Saviour.

He is the Healer.

He is the Deliverer.

He is the Resurrection and the Life.

And Elder Gabolekwe declared:

“I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED.”

When the storm comes, CALL JESUS.

When the battle comes, CALL JESUS.

When you are weak, CALL JESUS.

When you don't know what to do, CALL JESUS.

For the name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

JESUS IS ENOUGH.

JESUS IS OUR VICTORY.

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! 🙏🔥

SUNDAY SERVICE SERMON

REMOVE THE LOT — WALK INTO THE PROMISE
Speaker: Bishop T. Nchunga
Date: 23 August 2026

Main Scripture
Genesis 12:1–4

Bishop T. Nchunga preached on obedience, separation and positioning ourselves for God's blessings. God called Abram and gave him a promise, but the call required him to leave his country, his relatives and his father's household and go to the place God would show him.

God said:

“I will bless you… and you will be a blessing.”
— Genesis 12:2

The Bishop connected Abraham's journey with the things that can hinder believers today. He challenged the church to recognise the “Lots” in our lives—things such as sin, laziness, disobedience, wrong relationships and other obstructions that can prevent us from fully walking in God's purpose.

Abraham did not simply hear God's instruction; he acted on it.

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
— James 1:22

The sermon challenged the church to move beyond hearing God's Word to doing what God commands.

There are things we must deliberately remove from our lives. We cannot ask God to take us to the next level while continuing to hold on to what He has told us to leave behind.

Your Lot may be comfortable, familiar and difficult to release, but obedience requires separation.

Bishop T. Nchunga urged the church to be intentional: identify your Lot, deal with it, and move forward in obedience to God.

God's promise to Abraham was not only about receiving a blessing. Abraham was also called to be a blessing.

The church was therefore reminded that God's blessings come with purpose. We are blessed so that we can become a blessing to others and fulfil God's purpose.

The service ended with Bishop T. Nchunga blessing the church and praying over the congregation, committing the people into God's hands.

THE CHALLENGE

What is your Lot?

What are you holding onto that God is asking you to leave?

Let it go. Obey God. Move forward. Walk into what God has prepared for you.

DON’T LET YOUR LOT BLOCK YOUR PURPOSE.

Jesus is Lord.

WE NEED REVIVAL
Saturday, 22 August 2026
Preacher: Bishop T. Nchunga (National Bishop)

Anchor Verse
2 Timothy 2:20–21

Bishop T. Nchunga, the National Bishop, preached on the need for revival and challenged the church to become vessels of honour, allowing God to cleanse, refine and prepare us for His work.

Paul wanted Timothy and those who followed him to believe in God and understand what it means to live as people who belong to Him. During those days, people understood the structure of a great house belonging to a king. In a great house, there were different kinds of vessels, some of gold, some of silver, some of wood and some of clay. Each vessel had its own value and purpose.

In the house of God, everyone has value. When you come into the house of God, you become part of God's family. Ephesians 2:19 reminds us that we are members of God's household. There is nothing that should hinder us from claiming the benefits of being children of God.

You might feel like clay in the house of God, but even clay has a place and purpose. Everything has its own value. For you to be valuable, you must make yourself available for the work of God. We must not pretend that there is such a thing as a modern Christian who can live however they want. We have to cleanse ourselves and allow God to refine our lives.

There are four vessels mentioned: gold, silver, wood and clay. There is a refining process that takes place when we come to Christ. Sometimes the problems and challenges we go through are part of God's process of refining us. We must resist the devil, and he will flee from us. We should come to church because we want to learn how to work for God and grow in our relationship with Him.

We must make sure that our lives are right before God. We have to allow God to refine us. Regardless of our position, we are not exempt from doing what is good and right. We must stay away from things that dishonour God.

Silver represents redemption and purification. Psalm 66:10 reminds us that God tests and refines His people like silver. If you want to be a vessel of honour, keep yourself away from things that contaminate your life and allow God to refine you.

Do not allow people to doubt your Christianity. Do not allow people to doubt your commitment to God. When we came to the Lord, we were expected to change. We cannot continue deliberately living in sin while claiming to be vessels of honour and continuing to minister in the house of God.

Wood cannot go through fire in the same way that gold and silver can. We do not want a church full of wood that only serves as decoration. We should not fill the church with vessels that are not willing to be useful. Even if you feel that you are clay, make yourself valuable by cleansing yourself and making yourself available.

Even if you are clay, make yourself available. Avail yourself. Be there!

The Bishop challenged the church to consider not only how many leaders there are, but how many leaders are actually available. God is raising people who are willing to serve.

He challenged individuals to see the needs of the church and respond without always waiting for someone to ask them. When God tells you to do something, do it. If you are good at cleaning, clean the church. You are not doing it for a human being; you are doing it unto God.

Some are good worshippers, but they do not want to join the worship team. Opportunities are available, but people sometimes hide behind the uniform instead of making themselves available to use their gifts.

The Bishop challenged elders to start home cell groups in their homes and to start something in their own areas. Do not wait for everything to happen at the centre.

He also spoke about the relationship between elders and pastors, emphasizing that everyone has a role to play. Whether the line between an elder and a pastor is thin or bold, it does not matter. What matters is that there is a line.

Elders do not lose anything by not being at the centre. Bloom where you are. Serve God wherever He has placed you.

The Bishop shared his own testimony of coming into the church knowing very little but learning and growing. He acknowledged that he did not know what God saw in him, but God saw something.

Therefore, do not look down upon yourself. Be a vessel of honour.

The Bishop encouraged the church to wait upon the Lord, reminding us that “they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.”

Wait upon the Lord. Allow Him to refine you. Make yourself a vessel of honour.

Elders, start something in your areas.

Members, identify what God has placed in your hands and use it.

Avail yourself. Be available. Start something. Serve God. Be a vessel of honour.

JESUS IS LORD

A special moment in His presence

16/08/2026

SUNDAY SERVICE
Date: 16 August 2026
Speaker: D.P. Evangelist Jena
Topic: He Accompanies His Word
Theme: Spoken Word
Main Scripture: Mark 4:35

D.P. Evangelist Jena shared a life-changing sermon from Mark 4:35, where Jesus said, “Let us pass over unto the other side.”

The sermon reminded the church that when God speaks, He accompanies His Word. Jesus told the disciples to cross over, but as they travelled, a great storm arose. The storm did not mean that Jesus had abandoned them. He was with them in the boat.

The speaker encouraged the church not to stop because of storms. God may give you a word before you see the battle. We must continue the journey because God is with us.

Deuteronomy 1:6–7 reminds us that there comes a time when God says, “You have stayed long enough.” We must arise and move forward into what God has prepared for us.

D.P. Evangelist Jena reminded the church that we were not created to be abandoned. God promised in Joshua 1:5, “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Even when we pass through difficult times, God remains with us.

The speaker encouraged believers to cry out to Jesus like the blind man who said, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” We must not allow people or circumstances to silence our prayers. Keep calling upon Jesus. Keep believing.

The story of Lazarus showed that God's delay is not His denial. Lazarus was declared dead, but Jesus came and said, “Lazarus, come forth.” What looks dead to people can live again when Jesus speaks.

The sermon encouraged the church to believe that God can restore what has been lost, revive what has died and make a way where there seems to be no way.

Isaiah 55:11 reminds us that God's Word will accomplish what He has sent it to accomplish. When God speaks, He watches over His Word to fulfil it.

The speaker encouraged the church to have faith in God, referring to Mark 11:22, Isaiah 40:31 and Philippians 1:6. We were reminded that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

The service concluded with a clear call to faith:

Do not fear the storm.
Do not give up.
Do not allow people to silence you.
Keep calling upon Jesus.
Keep believing His Word.
Keep moving forward.

If God has said, “Cross over,” then there is another side.

God is with us.
God is for us.
God has not abandoned us.
And He accompanies His Word.

Amen.

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9

Sister Theo taught that believers are God's chosen people, called out of darkness into His marvelous light for a divine purpose.

Speaker 2: Brother John

Topic: Put God First
Scripture: Matthew 6:33

Scripture: John 3:16

Sister Blessed spoke about God's unconditional love demonstrated through Jesus Christ. He encouraged everyone to receive Christ into their hearts and to extend the same love to others.

Speaker 4: Brother Jimmy

Topic: How Should We Worship God?
Scripture: John 4:23

He encouraged believers to forgive others, live as examples of Christ, be born again, and depend on Christ's strength in every situation.

The Young Generation Service was a great encouragement to the youth, reminding them that they are a chosen generation called to live holy lives, put God first, love one another, and worship Him sincerely.

SUNDAY SERVICE SERMON
Date: 02 August 2026
Preacher: Elder E. Bofetogile
Topic: Pillars of a Successful and Prosperous Family

Anchor Scripture
Psalm 127:1

"Unless the LORD builds the house, they labour in vain who build it."

Before preaching, Elder E. Bofetogile declared that God is about to raise people who will dominate the economy of this district. He said that the God of our father Ezekiel is still searching for people who will fully commit themselves to Him. He reminded the church that God once said to our father Ezekiel, "I will be your money," and declared that God is raising another generation of "young Ezekiels." He also said that God will give grace to those who are obedient and that He is preparing people who will prosper through His favour.

Ministering from Psalm 127:1, Elder E. Bofetogile taught that God is the builder of every successful family. Unless the Lord builds the home, every human effort is in vain. He explained that the family is a kingdom institution established by God and that no family can stand without Him.

He described a family as people related by marriage, blood, or adoption, and reminded the church that believers also belong to God's family through the blood of Jesus Christ. He taught that the blood of Jesus was not only shed for the forgiveness of sins but also to make us children of God. He emphasized that every family must be born of God, with every member connected to Jesus Christ, because "whatever is born of God overcomes the world." He challenged believers not to think only about their own salvation but also about the salvation of their parents, siblings, and relatives. He reminded the church, "If you are not God-invented, you are self-invented."

The first pillar of a successful and prosperous family is love. Elder E. Bofetogile taught that no family can stand without love because love is patient, kind, enduring, covers a multitude of sins, and never fails. He encouraged believers to carry the love of God so that it can be seen and felt by others. Since love is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, it must begin with each individual. He reminded the church that families built on love are like trees planted by the rivers of water, always remaining strong and fruitful. He challenged everyone not to complain about the lack of love in others but to begin by showing love themselves.

The second pillar is forgiveness. Elder E. Bofetogile explained that every family experiences mistakes because people are different. He encouraged believers to be patient, tolerant, and willing to give one another room to grow. He reminded the church that Jesus taught us to forgive seventy times seven and that unforgiveness hinders prayers and can cause believers to miss God's blessings. He emphasized that we cannot forgive by our own strength but need Jesus Christ to help us. He urged the congregation to take the first step towards reconciliation, let go of offences, cast their burdens upon God, and not allow pride to prevent them from forgiving. He concluded by reminding the church that it takes God's grace to truly forgive.

In closing, Elder E. Bofetogile encouraged the church to allow God to build their families upon Christ, love, and forgiveness. He reminded everyone that a family built by God will stand, overcome every challenge, and enjoy His blessing and favour.

Amen.
