“Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.”(1 Corinthians 1:26-29)
Prophet Cedric is one of the faithful servants of God called by His grace to undertake the divine mission and vision set by Jesus Christ thousands of years ago. He is the General Overseer of The Gospel of God’s Grace Ministries based in Kopong. God Almighty called him to preach the gospel at a tender age and entrusted him with the gifts of prophecy, healing, deliverance and teaching of God’s word with outright wisdom.
“I am not the Healer, Deliverer nor Savior but only a messenger and at the command of my Master – Jesus Christ, lives change for the salvation of souls”. – Prophet Cedric
Born on the 23rd of December 1982 in Mahalapye, Botswana, Cedric Kobedi’s life depicts a humbling story of how God raised a young man in a small homestead to lead a ministry that has grown and spread like veld fire in just seven (7) years.
Growing up with a brewing desire and passion to serve God, he found himself thrusted to seek God at a very tender age. Through divine Grace, he began his journey in pursuit of God by serving and fellowshipping at the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG). His outright desire and resolve to serve God in spirit and truth propelled him from serving as an usher to become a pastor. After 10 years of service and being fondly known as Pastor Cedric, the story of amazing Grace and unwavering focus began; after a unique encounter with Christ Jesus, the dream not only to be a catalyst of change but also, a man of significance commissioned to achieve the impossible through Christ Jesus was finally born. As time ensued, his purpose, vision and destiny became clearer.
Trusting solely and unswervingly in God’s Word, his life became a revelation of one who has truly discovered himself and his calling. Like Joseph, he was ridiculed and mocked, nevertheless, he stood as a true servant of God amidst his challenges for he understood through the words of Prophet T.B Joshua that when God gives a man a dream, He designs and arranges events that will continue to unfold until his true purpose is revealed.
October 2011 marked the foundation of The Gospel of God’s Grace Ministries in Kopong- a village situated in the South East District of Botswana. Entrusted by God Almighty with the gift of prophecy, healing and deliverance, the man of God has used these to capture the hearts of thousands of souls that continue to thrive for salvation to this very day. He remains a leader, a mentor, a father to the fatherless and a friend to the widowed and poor through his heartfelt act of giving thus restoring hope to the hopeless.
Prophet Cedric’s is married to Mrs Botshelo Kobedi and they are blessed with a son and daughter.
“It is devotion which determines how distinct you will ever be and how distinguished you are determines how impactful you will ever be in the kingdom of God” – Prophet Cedric
