About
By The Grace Ministry was founded By Pastor John Mamabolo and His Wife Berrol Mamabolo. Co-founders are the late Lazarus Maake, Tharios Mangena and Hessie Mthombeni. Ministry started as an outreach in 2011, in 2013 it was announced and had their first Revival. Pastor John started preaching at the age of 10, he was preaching at Primary Schools and High Schools. In 1997 he started visiting and preaching in prisons with his mentor,father and spiritual father the late Bishop Joseph Mamabolo . In 1996 he started preaching in tents, in 1997 the ministry called Jesus is passsing was formed at Ga-sekgopo.we started preaching all over the places. Pastor John, Apostle Ramolesa, Pastor Isaac and Mr Maponya (Isaac) were the founders and Pastor Moloto was with us. Due to separation the ministry did not last, because of calling from God to preach the Gospel ,Pastor John did not stop there. In 2009 we started another ministry called God is Alive Ministry , it was Myself , Pastor Isaac and the other three. God was preparing me for the great mission and work, also the Ministry did not last due to lack of communication and distance. In 2010 I got married to my Beautiful wife Berrol who supported the vision and calling that i have. After getting married we moved to Reform fellowship Church from Peniel Praise Center International. when we arriving at Reform the zeal or the calling that God placed on me was too much. In 2011 we started preaching on the street and houses telling people about Jesus who saves. That`s when the Ministry By The Grace was formed and I Started preaching the Gopsel together with Late Lazarus Maake, Tharios Mangena, Hessie Mthombeni and Moses Raolane.In 2013 By the Grace Ministry hosted their first Revival at Reform Fellowship Church called " you shall receive power when the holy spirit comes" . in 2014 March we registered the ministry By the Grace with Cipro and with Department of Social Development. In 2014 June we hosted our first Crusade called "Thy Kingdom Come" at Kanana Sport Ground in Tembisa and that’s were the ministry was lunched, indeed we have experienced the Kingdom of God.and theafter we hosted second Crusade in December 2014 called "In The Presence of God"
Vission and Mission
To preach and annouce life changing that leads to forgiveness of sins and the grace that is enough for us all as it is all what we need and his strength. Our vision is based in 2 Corithians 12:9
"But He said to me, my grace (my favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for my strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me" without God`s grace you can`t do anything, you need God`s grace to live.
Is to see all People responding to the call of salvation and be free from the devil. To be able to experience the grace, favour, love and power of God upon their life’s. To understand the will of God upon their life’s, to be restored, healed and delivered from the attack of the devil.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
[BY THE GRACE MINISTRY]
GOD ALMIGHTY
We believe that there is one God, Yahweh, Elohim. We believe He exists in three persons God the Father, God the Son, God the holy Spirit, as a triune God.
REDEMPTION BY JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of the soul and Redeemer of a sinner through faith in Him, unto eternal life. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between man and God. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. Matt 20:28, Mark 10:45, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Titus 2:14, Gal 4:4-5
THE BIBLE
The Bible, we believe is the only divine inspired holy text, the written Word of God, which is both infallible and inerrant. We believe that we should not add or subtract anything from the Word of God. Rom 6:17, Matt 21:42, John 10:35, 2 Peter 1: 20
GREAT COMMISSION
We believe that the Word of God, as scripture, is fit and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. We believe the Lord God Almighty has equipped and commanded the church of Christ to preach the gospel of Salvation upon all nations, and people of all walks of life. Matt 28: 16-20
WATER BAPTISM
In baptism which is an immersion in water as a symbolic sacrament of a new birth in Christ Jesus, we believe. Matt 28:19
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit; and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher. Matt 3:11
REPENTANCE
We believe that without repentance, we fall short of the grace of God unto salvation. We believe that a gift of righteousness is obtained only through faith in Jesus Christ, we also believe that without holiness, no one will see God. Matt 3, 2 Cor 7,1, 10, Matt 4:17, Act2 20:21, Mark 1:15
RESURRECTION
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. Acts 2:24
"Restoration, Deliverance and Healing"
