Pastor Owen teaches that national restoration begins when God’s people return to the altar. Using Joel 2, Nehemiah 1, and Isaiah 58, we explore how God calls His Church to fasting, prayer, and rebuilding the spiritual foundations of a nation. And through it all, we see Jesus Christ as the true Repairer of the breach and the One who restores what sin has broken.
If you’re praying for revival in South Africa or longing for God to use you in a greater way, this message will ignite your spirit and strengthen your faith.
Listen, share, and let the Word work in you.

Series: Foundations That Last – Building Through Fasting
Episode 2: The Foundation of Power and Sending
Preacher: Pastor Owen Smith
In this message, Pastor Owen teaches that fasting is more than discipline — it’s divine alignment. Drawing from Acts 13, Acts 14, and Isaiah 58, he reveals how God still speaks to surrendered hearts and how fasting prepares the church for power, direction, and restoration.
“The saying came after the serving. The sending came after the seeking.”
When the church fasts, heaven moves.
When we humble ourselves, God restores foundations that last.
🎧 Listen. Reflect. Be strengthened for the journey.

Before Jesus ever preached, healed, or performed a miracle, He fasted.
In the wilderness, obedience was tested — and proven.
This sermon teaches that every lasting move of God begins with private obedience and that fasting is not merely a discipline, but the foundation of our alignment with God’s will.
We also shared Communion together on Day 2 of our fasting and prayer, remembering that obedience begins and ends at the cross — where Jesus’ perfect surrender became our foundation.
If you’ve been praying for strength to follow God completely, this message will stir your spirit to build again on the Rock that never fails.

Last Sunday, Brother Chris Gatsi shared a powerful word under the mentorship of Pastor Owen Smith:
👉 “Careful What You Hunger For” (Matthew 5:6 | John 6:35)
We were challenged to reflect: What is it that we truly hunger and thirst for?
Is it material things, recognition, and temporary pleasures — or is it Christ Himself, the Bread of Life?
🔥 Key Reminder:
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (Matt. 5:6)
When our hunger is for Jesus, He alone satisfies, fills, and sustains. Anything else leaves us empty.

In our latest message, “Christians’ Responsibility to Authority,” we unpacked what it means to follow Jesus in the real world — not just in church, but in the workplace, at the traffic light, and even on social media.
📖 Scripture reminds us in Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2 that God calls us to live with integrity, respect, and purpose — even under imperfect leaders. This isn’t about blind obedience.

2 Chronicles 36:22–23 | Daniel 6:10 | Jeremiah 25:11–12
🙌 God doesn’t just respond to history—He shapes it through the prayers of His people. From Daniel’s quiet room in Babylon to the heart of King Cyrus, the power of intercession moved governments, shifted timelines, and fulfilled divine promises.
💥 In a time of political tension, corruption, and spiritual decline, Daniel didn’t protest first—he prayed first. His consistent intercession changed the course of nations.
🔥 This sermon reminded us:
✅ Prayer is not our last resort—it’s our most powerful weapon.
✅ God can stir the hearts of kings, presidents, and prime ministers.
✅ The Church is not called to be silent—we’re called to intercede!
🛐 This week, we don’t just talk about leadership—we pray for it.

📖 2 Samuel 23:2–4 | Romans 13:3–4
This past Sunday, we were reminded that God is not indifferent to leadership. He holds rulers to a higher standard—justice and the fear of the Lord. And when leadership aligns with His heart, it’s like the sun rising after a dark night (2 Sam. 23:4).
But what happens when they don’t?
📍 God still reigns.
📍 He still calls the Church to be a voice for righteousness.
📍 And He still raises up leaders in His time—for justice, correction, or mercy.
💡 Whether you’re in leadership or under it—this message is a call to intercede, to stand for truth, and to reflect Christ in how we lead and respond to authority.
🕊️ Justice may be rare—but it is still God’s standard.
Let’s be the generation that doesn’t just complain about power but prays, leads, and lives under the authority of Heaven.

Ever wonder why some leaders rise who seem completely unfit to lead?
You’re not alone. But Scripture gives us a shocking truth:
👑 “The Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone He wishes—even the basest of men.” (Daniel 4:17)
In Sunday’s message, we were reminded that God doesn’t just allow leaders—He appoints them for His purpose:
🔹 Sometimes to bless.
🔹 Sometimes to judge.
🔹 Sometimes to humble a nation.
🔹 And always to fulfill His greater plan.
Even the worst rulers can become instruments of His mercy… or candidates for His grace.
🙏 The Church’s role?
Not just to vote. Not just to critique.
But to intercede, disciple, and lead with Kingdom focus.

📖 Romans 13:1–2 | Psalm 75:4–7🌍 Whether it’s presidents, kings, councillors, or CEOs—no one holds power unless God allows it. That was the powerful reminder from this Sunday’s message: God is still on the throne.
🗣️ “There is no authority except from God.”
Even corrupt leaders don’t escape His sovereignty. From Pharaoh to Pilate, from Babylon to modern-day governments—God works through it all for His redemptive purpose.

🌍 How Prayer Influences Nations 🙏
📖 Scriptures: 1 Timothy 2:1-4 | 1 John 5:14-15 | Revelation 17:14
Last Sunday’s sermon reminded us that God is the ultimate authority over all governments—and that as believers, we are called to pray boldly and specifically for good governance in our nation, South Africa, and beyond.
We learned that prayer isn’t just a ritual; it’s a responsibility. When we align our prayers with God’s will, we can intercede for our leaders, knowing that He hears and answers. It’s not about criticizing from the sidelines, but standing in the gap, just as Jesus does for us.
🛡️ Let’s take up the mantle of prayer and declare that good governance is God’s will. May we pray with conviction, knowing that our prayers shape the future of our families, communities, and our beloved South Africa.
Let’s continue to pray, intercede, and believe for a nation where the gospel can flourish. 🙌

Last week, we were reminded that even when the storms of life seem overwhelming—when the winds are howling, the waves are crashing, and it feels like we’re sinking—Jesus is near.
Like Peter on the water, we may step out in faith only to feel fear when the storm rages. But even when our faith wavers, His hand is there to catch us. Hebrews 7:25 reminds us that Jesus is always interceding for us—He’s praying for you even now.
🔥 Are you in your 4th watch season?
🔥 Feeling like you’re about to sink?
🔥 Remember: His Presence is with you, His Power will sustain you, and your Faith in Him is enough—even when it’s small, because we serve a big God with big grace!
Let’s hold on to Jesus and step into the new week with courage, trusting that you are not sinking—He’s holding you.

🔥 SUNDAY RECAP – Exercising Christ’s Authority in Prayer 🙌
“The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, ‘Rule in the midst of your enemies!’” – Psalm 110:2
This past Sunday, we were reminded that prayer is not just communication—it’s confrontation. As believers, we don’t pray from a place of fear, but from a position of authority in Christ. Just as Aaron’s rod swallowed the enemy’s serpents, the name of Jesus swallows every demonic tactic.
💥 You’ve been given power to rule in the midst of challenges!
Your prayers carry the authority to shift atmospheres, break strongholds, and establish God’s will in your family, workplace, and community.

👑 Christ the King – Ruling in the Midst of His Enemies
📖 Psalm 2 | Psalm 110 | Ephesians 1:20–22
🗓️ Preached at AFM Midrand Impact | 27 April 2025
Last week, we were reminded that Jesus is not waiting to rule—He is ruling now, even in the midst of resistance and rebellion. Earthly kings rise and fall, but Christ has been enthroned forever at the right hand of the Father!
🔥 “The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.’” – Psalm 110:1
💥 From the cradle in Bethlehem to the cross on Calvary, and now to the throne in heaven, Christ’s victory is complete. He reigns with authority, justice, and mercy—and He invites us to live under His rule, reflecting His kingdom in Midrand and beyond.

"The Consequences of Failing to Be Salt" 🧂🔥
Sunday's message was a powerful reminder from Matthew 5:13—we are called to be the salt of the earth! But what happens when we lose our saltiness? Compromise, passivity, and fear of standing for truth can make us ineffective, and Jesus warns that such salt is “good for nothing.”
🚨 Key Takeaways:
✅ Salt Preserves – We must stand for righteousness in a decaying world.
✅ Salt Purifies – Our lives should reflect holiness, not blend into worldly culture.
✅ Salt Adds Flavor – Our faith should make Christianity attractive through love, wisdom, and integrity.
✅ Losing Saltiness Brings Judgment – If we fail to be distinct, we lose our effectiveness and influence.
🔥 Challenge: Are you standing boldly for Christ, or have you compromised? Now is the time to rise up, be salt, and influence your world for Jesus!

🔥 SERMON RECAP: Recognizing & Resisting the Spirit of the Antichrist 🔥
Last Sunday, we dived deep into 1 John 4:1-6, uncovering the importance of testing the spirits and standing firm in the truth of Jesus Christ! 🙌

✅ The true test: What do they say about Jesus? False teachings distort His divinity or humanity (1 John 4:2-3).
✅ Victory in Christ! Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
✅ The world listens to falsehood, but we follow the truth – Stay rooted in the Word (1 John 4:5-6).

💬 SERMON HIGHLIGHT: Righteousness Preserves Communities 💬
📖 Key Scripture: Genesis 18:16–33
🎯 Main Point: The prayers and righteousness of believers can hold back judgment and invite God’s mercy to communities and nations.
This Sunday, we were reminded of the powerful example of Abraham, who interceded for Sodom with boldness and humility. His prayer showed us that God’s mercy often flows through the righteousness and prayers of His people.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ God’s Justice and Mercy: He is both holy and merciful, willing to save even the wicked for the sake of a few righteous (Genesis 18:23–26).
2️⃣ The Power of Intercession: Like Abraham, we are called to stand in the gap for our communities, trusting God to bring transformation (Genesis 18:22–33).
3️⃣ The Role of Righteousness: Just a few righteous people living faithfully can preserve and influence entire cities (Matthew 5:13–16).
🌍 Call to Action:
Let’s rise as a church and be the righteous witnesses Midrand needs! Through prayer, intercession, and Christ-like living, we can bring hope and transformation to our communities. 🙏

From Muzzles to Blessings: Why Double Honour Matters
📖 1 Timothy 5:17-18
Last Sunday, we delved into the topic of "Double Honour" and what it truly means to honor our pastors and spiritual leaders. We discussed the importance of supporting those who labor tirelessly in the Word and prayer. But we also addressed the delicate issue of manipulation and guilt-tripping within the church, especially during occasions like Pastor Appreciation Days.
It's vital to remember that giving should come from the heart, not from a place of guilt or pressure. Paul’s teaching to Timothy reminds us that those who lead well deserve our respect and support, not because they demand it, but because it’s the right thing to do. Let's honor our leaders in a way that glorifies God—by giving freely and joyfully, knowing that God loves a cheerful giver.
Remember: "Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The worker deserves his wages" (1 Timothy 5:18). Let's sow generously, and we will reap generously.

In today's message, we delved into the challenging question posed to Jesus in Matthew 22:15-22. Jesus' answer teaches us that while we are to fulfill our earthly responsibilities, like paying taxes, our ultimate devotion belongs to God.

📖 Scripture Reference: Luke 16:8-13

Debt is a significant issue in our world today, affecting individuals and nations alike. But what does the Bible really say about debt?
👉 The Bible does not label debt as inherently sinful or moral. Instead, it offers wisdom on managing and repaying debt responsibly.
🌟 Key Takeaways:
1. Avoid Judgment:*Jesus taught us not to judge but to show compassion (Matthew 7:1-2). Everyone's situation is different, and debt can arise from unforeseen circumstances.
2. Extend Compassion: just like the Good Samaritan and the forgiving father of the Prodigal Son, we are called to show love and understanding to those in financial distress.
3. Practical Guidance: Repay what you owe (Psalm 37:21) and be cautious of excessive debt (Proverbs 22:7).
Let’s embrace a spirit of grace and support, reflecting God’s love in our actions. Together, we can help each other navigate financial challenges with wisdom and compassion.

that "no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison." However, as followers of Christ, we are called to a higher standard.
📖 Scriptural Wisdom:

💬 Speak Life:
In our interactions this week, let's be intentional about taming our tongues. Instead of words that hurt, let us speak life into the lives of others. Build up, encourage, and share the love of Christ through every conversation.

Rom. 10: 9 - 13
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Hebrews 11 : 6
And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
In this powerful sermon, we'll explore the essence of hope and salvation through the lens of Christ's teachings.
📖 Scripture Focus: Romans 10:14-17 📖
🔍 "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" (Romans 10:14)
🌈 Let's unravel the mysteries of salvation, understanding the significance of proclaiming the message of hope to all. As followers of Christ, it is our divine duty to share the Good News and be the vessels of God's love.

In this sermon addresses a crucial aspect of balancing our obligations to both God and earthly authorities. Emphasizing financial integrity and obedience to both spheres is a vital message for believers.
🙏📖 Sermon Reflection 🙌
In today's sermon, we dove deep into the powerful story of the 10 lepers found in Luke 17:11-19. The lessons drawn from this passage are profound, reminding us of the essential elements of our walk with Christ: gratitude, worship, faith, and obedience. Let's break it down:
Gratitude & Worship: We witnessed an incredible act of worship from a Samaritan, one of the 10 healed lepers. This was intriguing because, historically, Samaritans and Jews had deep animosity towards each other. Yet, it was the Samaritan who returned to thank and worship Jesus. This teaches us the importance of living a life filled with gratitude. We must not forget the smaller miracles and blessings in our lives, even when we're facing challenges.
Faith & Obedience: The lepers, despite not being immediately healed, displayed remarkable faith and obedience when Jesus instructed them to show themselves to the priests. They didn't question; they obeyed. This act of obedience was pivotal to their miraculous healing. It's a powerful reminder that God often requires our obedience before He manifests His miracles in our lives. As the saying goes, "Faith without works is dead."

Exploring the Depth of the New Covenant in 1 Cor. 11:23-26, we dive into the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice, His blood covenant and its implications for us today. Let’s uncover the beauty of communion and the everlasting covenant through His eyes.
In 2 Corinthians 9:6-9, the apostle Paul encourages believers to approach their giving with a Christ-centered perspective. Just as Christ gave sacrificially, we are called to give generously and cheerfully. The passage emphasizes that God loves a cheerful giver, not one who gives reluctantly or out of compulsion. When we give with an open heart, God's grace overflows to us, enabling us to abound in every good work. This passage reminds us that our giving is not just a financial transaction, but an act of worship and an opportunity to reflect Christ's love to others. As we sow seeds of generosity, we can trust God to provide and multiply our resources for His kingdom's growth and glory. This message resonates with our mission to equip every believer to be a powerful witness in their communities, reflecting Christ's love through their actions and attitudes.

"Discover the profound connection between the branch and the Vine in John 15:4-5. Just as a branch draws life from the vine, we find purpose, strength, and fruitfulness in our relationship with Christ. Surrender to His lordship, remain connected, and bear lasting fruit that impacts the world. #AbideInChrist #BearingFruit #TransformedByHim"
In this sermon, I discussed the importance of forgiveness and its role in our relationship with God. I emphasized that forgiveness is not a one-time act, but a continuous process, as Jesus taught us to forgive not just seven times, but seventy-seven times. I also highlighted the consequences of unforgiveness, using the parable of the unmerciful servant as an example. I stressed that we must forgive others as we are forgiven by our Father, and that we must humble ourselves and forgive others in order to receive forgiveness. I also touched on the importance of forgiveness in maintaining the presence of God in our lives and in our families, and the peace and joy that comes with forgiving others.
Key takeaways:
- Forgiveness is not a one-time act, but a continuous process. We should forgive not just seven times, but seventy-seven times.
- Unforgiveness has serious consequences, as illustrated in the parable of the unmerciful servant.
- We must forgive others as we are forgiven by our Father.
- Humility is key in forgiveness. We must humble ourselves and forgive others in order to receive forgiveness.
- Forgiveness is crucial in maintaining the presence of God in our lives and in our families. It brings peace and joy, and fosters healthy relationships with God's people.

Colossians 1 : 15 - 20 - Good News Translation
Christ is the visible likeness of the invisible God. He is the first-born Son, superior to all created things. 16 For through him God created everything in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen things, including spiritual powers, lords, rulers, and authorities. God created the whole universe through him and for him. 17 Christ existed before all things, and in union with him all things have their proper place. 18 He is the head of his body, the church; he is the source of the body's life. He is the first-born Son, who was raised from death, in order that he alone might have the first place in all things. 19 For it was by God's own decision that the Son has in himself the full nature of God. 20 Through the Son, then, God decided to bring the whole universe back to himself. God made peace through his Son's blood+ on the cross and so brought back to himself all things, both on earth and in heaven.
