Prophet Mboro recently became a talking point, this time due to a spirited church video that charmed the public.

Posted by the pastor @mboro_moporo on TikTok, the clip became a sensation, drawing widespread engagement and prompting a wave of positive responses from online viewers.

In the compelling video, the prophet stands out, dressed in a smart blue suit and black hat. He begins chanting a powerful hymn, which, when translated from isiZulu, declares, "Satan doesn't belong here." After several strong repetitions, the spiritual leader gets into the moment, breaking into spontaneous, joyful dance moves, backed by his enthusiastic choir.

The hymn then takes an interesting turn, changing to proclaim, "God belongs here," before transforming once more to confidently say, "Mboro belongs here." Throughout this, the pastor keeps up his excited singing and happy body movements, creating a memorable and very lively show of faith and personal expression. The clip ends with him quoting a Bible verse and adding that he has no time for stress, strain, depression, and criticism because he is anointed, appointed and ordained.

Navigating tradition and new expressions

The Briefly News team spoke with Deacon Ditsego Mprupe about his perspective on faith and community in today's world.

From a Methodist perspective, we asked the deacon's thoughts on Prophet Mbor's expressive and personalised worship. He shared:

"Well, in the Methodist Church, our worship is generally structured and ceremonial. We value worship in a certain order. Seeing such expressive dance and personalised lyrics is certainly a very different approach from what we are accustomed to.

While we believe in joyful worship, the focus for us remains firmly on God and collective reverence rather than individual expression or dominance."

The team asked the man if he thinks entertainment has a place in attracting people to church or in helping them connect with their faith. Ditsego responded.

"The primary purpose of our church service is to worship God and build faith through the Word and sacrament. While we strive to make our services engaging and welcoming, the focus isn't on entertainment.
We believe connection with faith comes from a deeper spiritual encounter, not from being entertaining. If a light-hearted approach helps someone feel comfortable enough to explore faith, that's one thing, but it shouldn't be the core method of evangelism or worship."

Prophet Mboro quotes a Bible verse at the end of the clip. We asked the deacon how central biblical scriptures are to the Methodist worship service and teaching, and how those are incorporated. He said:

"Biblical scriptures are central to everything we do in the Methodist Church. They are the foundation of our faith, our preaching, our teaching, and our hymns. In every service, there are scripture readings from both the Old and New Testaments, and the sermon is always based on and interprets scripture. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the primary guide for Christian living and understanding God's will."

The clip gained 482K views, 36K likes, and 1.8K comments from social media users who were entertained by the pastor. Many called him "the most entertaining pastor in Mzansi," appreciating his light-hearted and genuine nature.

Some admitted that previous media stories had made them dislike the pastor, but his recent series of authentic videos was now changing their minds. Others praised his clear affection for his churchgoers, suggesting that his relaxed personality was a sign of his true care, likely making those attending his services feel comfortable and welcome.
