Send us a textThis Sunday we learned that stewardship is not a response to sin,and it did not begin with money.Stewardship began in Genesis.Before the fall, God entrusted humanity with dominion, work, and responsibility.Not ownership — stewardship.We were reminded that:• Dominion was given before sin• Work is part of God's design, not a curse• God owns — we manage• Stewardship is always accountable to God• Prayer and stewardship cannot be separatedPrayer aligns us with the King.Stewardship shows that alignment in everyday life.As we prepare to move into February,we are laying a biblical foundation — not for pressure,but for faithful Kingdom living.

Send us a textWhy God Waits for You to PrayThe Purpose of Prayer – January SeriesThis Sunday we learned that God does not wait because He is distant or unwilling.He waits because He has chosen to govern the earth through people who represent Him.Prayer is not optional spirituality.Prayer is Kingdom responsibility.Scripture showed us that:• God looks for people to stand in the gap• Intercession carries Kingdom authority• God responds when His people pray for others• We pray as ambassadors, not spectatorsWhen we pray, we are not filling silence.We are giving voice to the King's will on earth.

Send us a textSUNDAY RECAP | 11 JANUARY 2026What Prayer Actually Is: Heaven's Legal Access PointThe Purpose of Prayer SeriesThis past Sunday we continued our January series by learning that prayer is not a religious habit —it is a Kingdom function.We were reminded that:• God gave responsibility on earth to humanity• Heaven and earth operate in different jurisdictions• Prayer is how heaven's authority is invited into earthly affairs• We pray in alignment with the will of the King, not to persuade HimJesus teaches us to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,”because prayer is about agreement, not begging.Prayer does not change God's will —it allows God's will to be expressed on earth.

Send us a textThis week's message explores what it means for the Church to rise in Kingdom wisdom, fullness, and victory in the last days. From Ephesians, Revelation, and Habakkuk we see that the Glorious Church is not weak, fearful, or hiding — she is filled with the presence of Christ and advancing His Kingdom until the earth is filled with His glory.This Thanksgiving Sunday, we also reflected on God's goodness throughout the year and renewed our covenant with Christ through Holy Communion.Listen as we discoverHow the Church reveals the wisdom of the KingWhat it means to be filled with God's fullnessHow we overcome by the blood of Jesus and the word of our testimonyWhy Habakkuk 2:14 is the Church's end-time visionAnd why the glory of Jesus will fill the earth through His people

Send us a textThis week at AFM Midrand Impact Christian Centre we launched our December Kingdom series, “The Glorious Church: Purified, Powerful, and Prepared for the Harvest.”In Part 1, titled “The Bride Made Ready,” we explored how Jesus lovingly prepares His Church—as a Bride—for His return. Through Ephesians 5:25–27, Revelation 19:6–9, and Isaiah 60:1–3, we were reminded that Christ's goal is not merely our comfort but our conformity to His image. His love cleanses, His Word washes, and His Spirit awakens.Although we faced unexpected technical challenges due to a local electricity and WiFi outage—which prevented us from recording video—we're grateful that we could still capture high-quality audio of the sermon for you.

Send us a textPastor Owen teaches that national restoration begins when God's people return to the altar.

Send us a textSeries: Foundations That Last – Building Through FastingEpisode 2: The Foundation of Power and SendingPreacher: Pastor Owen SmithIn 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.

Send us a textBefore 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.Key TakeawaysFasting is not punishment — it's preparation.Obedience is the foundation that carries every move of God.What begins in secret sustains in public.Communion reminds us that grace empowers obedience.Subscribe to stay updated on weekly messages and our 2025 theme:“No Prayer, No Harvest” — Matthew 9:35–38#AFMImpactChurch #FoundationsThatLast #NoPrayerNoHarvest #AFMMICC #FastingAndPrayer #Acts13v3 #Obedience #KingdomLiving #PastorOwenSmith

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Martin Guni concludes our series on prayer with a timely word on The Breakthrough Prayer Life.Drawing from Luke 18:1–8 and other key Scriptures, this message reminds us that breakthroughs don't come by giving up, but by persistent prayer, Spirit-led intercession, and a deep hunger for the presence of God.We are challenged to remain faithful in prayer, not just seeking what God can give, but seeking His presence above all—and to endure in faith until Christ returns.If you've ever felt like God is silent, or if you've been praying and waiting for answers, this word will strengthen your faith and renew your persistence in prayer.Stay tuned to the end for a call to action that will stir you to deeper intimacy with God.Scripture Reference: Luke 18:1–8Connect with Us:

Send us a textLast 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.
