IN THE same way that Jesus Christ ascended on a mountain to pray for 40 days in the desert, Apostle Simon Mokoena and his 60000 flock, who usually go to a mountain in QwaQwa, Free State, at Easter, will now go to a new home - intent on putting all their challenges to the only being who can make a difference in their lives, God.

Mokoena is false Apostle leading the people far away from the truth, And he knows that. He used to be a born again preacher who was preaching the true gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise. The Bible has warned that in the last days there will be false prophets and apostles who are preaching their own doctrinesa and pulling great crowds. But because our people are not aware of the prophecies which we declared they are being taken for a ride and thinking that they are worshipping God when they are not. Listen to this man when he preaches and all he ever says is talk about himself and the revelations that he received and hardly refers to the Bible let alone talk about Jesus. I would go as far as saying he is operating in the spirit and the power of the "Anti-Christ". South Africans be warned of these mega-churches especially with this Flambouyant leaders who are very blasphemeus and spreading lies. Tyrannus Apostolic Church hails from the pit of hellReport Abuse

@COPE, I agree with you my brother that these days there are more preachers and pastors who are turning attention on themselves as if serving God is synonymous with being a "Celebrity". Well anyone who is preaching their own gospel and turning people away from the saving gospel of Jesus Christ they will be answerable before God for their misdeeds and false teachings. Myself I'm a Pastor and I don't agree with most of what I see being preached on our TV Screens. Must say that there are true and genuine ones who are true servants of God and very humble. But as for this Mokoena dude, he's worst of False prophets and through his magic and powers he has managed to deceive millions around the country..Report Abuse

it does not help you coment on a ministry that you have never set your foot in. but its our nature as black people not to appriciate a good thing. Ntate Mokone does not read during his preaching but if you watch his ministrys, he always has one, he knows wht is in the bible by heart, God hase revealed to him what he needs to do to help his people. if you are reading a bible you self, things that he does should be familiar to what you read or have read. Ntate Mokoena doest say Jesus but he sais modimo, just becouse he doest say it in the Queens language and says it in sesotho its a crime. Tyrannus is not a church and it is not from hell (may God forgive you for saing it is from hell) God revealed if to him,Paul was in Ephesus around 52 AD during his third missionary journey. It made sense for Paul to journey there…..Ephesus was the capital of an Asian province and was a major population and trade center. He could reach many people there with his Good News. Acts 20:31 reminds us that Paul spent three years in Ephesus…..Remember for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears, and for two of the three years he lectured and debated in the school of Tyrannus per Acts 19:10….This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
Prior to having his discussions in the leture hall of Tyrannus, Paul had begun his ministry in a synagogue.
let the man of God do what god hase asked him to do. your believe will ither save you or miss lead you. now i know why he say "ba buang haba buwe" He will do wht god sent him to do, whether you jajarag or not. i am glad that the is an Apostle that lives in our morden days.

@ Retired, I' m sorry but you sound like you are one of his disciples and you seem to be doing a good job trying to defend this "Fake Apostle". Well my brother you are wrong in many ways because this man is a Mosotho and in Sesotho we do have a word of Jesus, i.e Jesu wa Nazaretha. So that argument that he prefers to say "Modimo" is nonsensical to say the least. And to say that he does not have read the Bible because is knows it by heart is laughable. And by the way I know this Guy personally before he started with this "Tyrannus" Church, And he knows me too. I am a preacher myself and can preach very fluently in Sesotho hence I'm qualified to say that what this man preaches is not even the Gospel. Even the Great Apostle Paul in the Bible said this "Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." And I do not apologize for saying that this church hails from the pit of hell and nothing will happen to me as I'm not fearful of what this man seems to represent. The Bible is full of warnings against the rise of false prophets and apostles who will have large followings, So this is not something we were not expecting. Paul said to the Corinthians: 2Co 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.Report Abuse

And I have said before that we have nothing against him preaching in Sesotho, What we are against is the content of his message, it is faulty and very deceptive. We also don't dispute his apparent good works he does for the less fortunate, that does not make him to be Genuine and to be believed. This man does not confess Jesus Christ as having come in the flesh and he does not preach the Message of salvation through faith in the Son of God as the Bible teaches.

ask your selfs one question (i have asked myself the same question many times) on Tv, all the priests put they hands on people an people are healed, the apostle doesnt put his hands on people, just by seing him on TV or being around him people are healed. i feel that the apostle ke moshe (moses) wa the morden age. i feel there is greated power in this man, and personaly, he is the only true apostle we have in SAJust before Jesus went back to heaven, He commanded His disciples to tarry at Jerusalem for the power from on high. He commanded them to carry the Gospel to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem, after first receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Note especially Luke 24:46-49, "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high." This same command is recorded in Acts 1:3-9. "And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
the bible clearly say the desiples must remain in jerusalem and wait for God to speak to them so they can spread the word of him. why did he say they must remain there?????? how long did it take befor god spoke to them, what if god is speaking to us now thro the apostle? ask your selfs thos question. yes there are other prists but has god told them how to use their anointment? they chose to follow the way of others than their own, n the Apostle was at other churches as a pasta, but god told him to take his own way, a way to reach the gods people. people dont be ignorent.

@Retired, you make me laugh by your comments. What heals a person is their faith and not the power of preachers or apostles, hence Jesus would say to the many people that came to him for healing, "YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL".. Let me say this, This man is not an Apostle of Jesus Christ, he may perform miracles and heal people and ask people to touch their screens that does not validate him as the true apostle. And all the verses that you've quoted above bear testimony to our Lord Jesus Christ, And this man does not even make mention of Jesus Christ. This man is Anti-Christ, because anyone who does not confess Jesus as having come in the flesh is the Anti-Christ. He may be powerful, And that I do not dispute, but whose Power is it? Listen to what the Great Apostle Paul said: 1Ti 6:3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,1Ti 6:4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,

My point exactly MakhosiniA Church of prayer, praise and power was established. Miracles and signs were accomplished in the name of Jesus. From Jerusalem, the Gospel was carried by devoted men of God to different parts of the earth. Thank God for Pentecost! It was the Birthday of the First and True Church! The Church began at Jerusalem, upon the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit came upon the group assembled in the upper room. Mind you, the pentecost was the first ever church in the hole word since the birth of Jesus and it was an apostolic church. if we belive in the word of god, we are saved.

And it was not about personalities and people claiming to have received strange revelations. Listen to what the Apostle Peter said on the day of Pentecost: Act 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. This brothers was the Gospel, these men lifted Jesus as the Messiah and never brought attention on themselves..

@JerryM,we thank you for your time to lie to us...it's good to know,that there are peoplelike yourself who pay; ATTENTION TO DETAIL to every good thing that's happening out there
i don'it know tirano,but simply don't like to entertain people who don't APPRECIATE A GOOD THING!
It's not a bad thing to be a tjatjarag...it's free publicity for Mr Mokoena and his people..keep up the good work. and the church will continue to grow while you watch,keep watching good things.

I agree with you Wiseman. I tried to listen to his messages so many times but I don't hear him talking about the word of God, he only talk about himself and I have a problem with that. You only find the power of God in His word and if he doesn't talk about God or His word, whose power is he using? He guy is misleading people, PERIOD. He is sending multitudes of people to hell.@Cope, I don't mind mega churches and in fact I believe in signs and wonders. I believe in the word of God and if the word is not there, it means God himself is not there. Jesus healed the sick, cast out demons and raised the dead and I believe in that too because He in His word that we will do greater things than those that He did and all that can only be done in Jesus Name and word of God should be preached.

@ Wiseman all so true what you are saying and qouting , but we need to pray more for the church of God , so that the spirit of God can expose all such Pastors , for I bealive that it is a spirit that rules upon them , some may not be aware that they no longer operate with the spirit of a leaving God .Report Abuse

Should we believe what is written in the bible? Is christianity the true religion? What if there are religions out there that predates christianity? How true is it that there is information locked away in Rome that if known to every one else it will change the way we see christianity? Just curious.Report Abuse

@Vusykay, yes we should believe the Bible but no one forces you to as that still remains your choice. And on the question of whether the are other religions, Religion is as old as man. And religion is man's way to attempt to reach God, while Christianity is God's way of reaching us and is based on relationship and not on rituals..@JerryM, You're spot on..

The bible says: be careful in the last days they will be lot of pastors who will mislead people...Now my friends I say to U all: know this pastors who are misleading people.
Don't forget about the 21 may 201, one pastor said it's the end of the world!!
I so wish I could be given an opportunity to teach him how to read the bible and If i get it then I will invite mokoena in our bible study.

@WisemanI was busy reading your comment from the beginning until the end while trying to work. I believe you have said ur mouthful. those who dont understand the word of God, its ckear that they r still blind and they need to pray the above prayer and accept Jesus. The devil is happy and trying to keep them blind and deaf so dat they dnt recognyz the spirit of God at work.I hv learned dat its pointless to argue wth the spiritually blind and try to convince them to see God at work,until de holy spirit enlightens them,they can grasp the power of God at work in human lives. Only those who have been enlightened by the power of the Holy Spirit can truly grasp spirtual realities. To those who love him and believe him,God ill reveals spiritual truths. He assures those who understand that the spirit is at work.

@Tirano4life, you missing the point big time my brother, at no stage did we express any form of hatred or dislike towards Mokoena, in fact I think he is a very charismatic guy with an ability to influence and charm. But what we are saying is that he's a "False Apostle". Jesus Christ said "No one comes to the Father(Modimo) except through me", And Mokoena doesn't teach you that. And we're not surprised that you cannot even use the Bible to defend your position because your Church is not founded upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets with Christ Jesus as the Chief Cornestone. Listen to what the Apostle Peter says about people like your "Apostle" : 2Pe 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.2Pe 2:2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
2Pe 2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. Then Judge for yourself!!!

Finally some who have the boldness to spew it out thank Wiseman man of God to the biblical truth that you just shared with us, i just pray in my heart that God may just let everyone one to see the truth that sound doctrine not man-made, am one of those who say i have never seen mokoena reading a bible, Even the ephesians would go and study the bible to see if what Paul was saying was in context with the scripture,so it surely shows in this matter that mokoena's followers dont read the bible,because if that was the case they would have found that he is a "false prophet" if he is not teaching from the bible what is he teaching then?Report Abuse
Believer
Keep it up @ Wiseman and Goitsemodimo Bafowethu we really need Him (Holy Spirit) for such time as these because the Bible tells us that we must test the Spirit,,,if we ignore Him we will fall in the trap of the enemy,,Antichrist,,,let me tell you guys the enemy won't come in dark clothes because we will c him and run bt he will cum like an angel,,,shame on those who will follow these dudes because one day they gonna say Jesus in your name we cast out demons bt he will say get out of my face you wicked dudes....bafowethu if we really waana go to Heaven we need to be born again and let God wash us from all unrightouesness and ask God to give us His Spirit(Holy Spirit)we also need Him to worship God correctly because the bible says John 4:23 - 24. The time will come and the time is now where God will seek for worshipers who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. 24. For God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Therefore the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God that reveals the Truth because He is the Spirit of Truth God cannot be explained or proven because He doesn't fit in the laboratory and He is not subject to intellect but He can only be revealed so the Holy Spirit of God reveals Him in our lives. He helps us to know God better in our lives. Paul says in Ephisians 1 : 17 "I ask God to give you spiritual Wisdom and Revelation so that you might grow in your knowledge of God." hence the spiritual wisdom is given by the Holy Spirit of God if you read Isaiah 11:2 and He then reveal God's ways and thoughts about us. A carnal mind cannot please God, but a spiritual mind leads in to the Spiritual fellowship with God and we then see the results in the natural. Even when it comes to comprehending the Bible we need Him (Holy Spirit) because the Word of God is God's breathe 2nd Timothy 3:16. I am just a brother not the Pastor but i think i know God better than izolo..Report Abuse

@ Believer I could not have said it better myself, thanks my brother for conforming to the word of God,may the Great God lead you to more and greater revelations through His word, may you not compromise in your faith and go out and expose the devil with boldness,the truth will always come out at the end of the day.Report Abuse

All what i lyk about dese prophets is dat, people get healed, change people's life. Apostle Mokoena deals with de person mentally, u nid to know urself. If dey use magics wow deir magics heals and change peoples lyf. At least dese prophets are South Africans, people would not keep quiet if something is done by South Africans der are so many Churches here in South Africa with leaders from abroad but you will never hear anyone criticising dem because dey speak English not Sotho, Xhosa, Zulu etc.Hayi ma Africa, no need to critisize guys, why ar we against the Pastors, Prophets and Apostle of South Africa? but favour the ones not South Africans?

@Wiseman, Ive been there and knows it all. Must agree, TAC is a CULT and Mokoena is a false prophet. Two questions: how does he survive as a single man after divorcing Sibongile? What is this "maano a Ntate" hype? Its true using the name of Jesus Christ there is forbidden! Like @Cope I'm not afraid to get to the bottom of this. His members are so ignorant of the Word and Mokoena is exploiting that ignorance to the fullest, enriching and elevating himself to the demi-God status in the process. His right-hand man presents him as "Modimo wa rona".Report Abuse
Tsebanyane
I do not see the difference between consulting a sangoma, traditional healer or witchdoctor and going to Mokoena's counselling sessions and "ditshebeletso". All clients come back with all sorts of paraphenelia to use for their different needs/ailments, of course for a pricely sum. And there is no mention of Jesus Christ by all these people who claim to have mystical/magical powers. The Bible in TAC is read on Saturdays (Sabbath) but very selectively, to suit their 'gospel' and wayward spirituality. The church is very hostile to enlightened people, Mokoena wants the poor, illiterate, and vulnerable individuals who are prone to exploitation. I'm going back to the simple teachings of Jesus Christ, the Chief Apostle.Report Abuse

First of all...Mr Mokoena is not no an Apostle...the reason i say that is because of the things that he is doing...when i check the anatomy of an apostle according to the bible mr Mokena doesnt have even one.Secondly He (Mokoena) is going to account before God of the multitude that he is leading away from from the truth of God. He is actually practicing what is called APOSTACY and it is a pity that his member s cannot see that.
References:
2 Timothy 4:3 (This is for the Tyrannus members)
Jeremiah 23: 2 (This refers to Mokoena)
Please people who attend church at Tyrannus, Mr Mokoena is deceiving you and i know you not gonna believe but please start now to analyse whatever he says...He doesn't stick on the word of God but always praising himself and if you can read the bible Jesus the son of the living God never did that
Please people watch out for that man (Mokoena).
