"We will complain less and abound in thankfulness to the Lord for what He allows us to accomplish. Thus we shall keep the faith and accomplish His will!"

Unheralded pioneers of faith, many of whom have untold stories of sacrifice and triumph in laying a good foundation for  the Lord’s work, came out in their hundreds to receive the above message in a service that was conducted by Apostle Mkhwanazi. The service took place on 21 March 2010 at Ingwenyama Lodge, White River, in the Mpumalanga Province.

The Bible text for the service was taken from James 4:15: "... instead you ought to say, 'if the lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.'"  

The Apostle explained that as God’s children who are solely dependent upon him, and when we make plans for the future we need to prioritize and involve God for his approval and blessing. We want to leave behind a living legacy among our families and friends regarding God’s work of salvation.

Therefore we ought to say, if the Lord wills, I will live and speak, teach, exhort, and rebuke with all the authority of an elder. I will demonstrate my true faithfulness and dependency upon God even in times of difficulties.

The Bishops Fakude, Meyer, and Milazi were also called to serve the senior members. The Apostle also used the occasion to formally announce his transfer to the Gauteng area saying that in the African culture it is appropriate to first inform the elders about any major decision affecting an individual.
