To all the members of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (NEC), you are the GURUS of my Nation. I SALUTE the National, Provincial and Regional leaders individually and as a collective.
God has entrusted you with a huge responsibility yokuhlanganisa isizwe samaMbatha, to inform, inspire, motivate nokuvuselela i-pride- to His people who would have otherwise lost all hopes.
A task you have accepted voluntarily and selflessly with patience and dedication without expecting any reward or compensation.
You know the challenges that you sometimes have to go through in fullfilling these tasks, which most of us take for granted, and the impact that these challenges have on your normal individual and family life and responsibilities.
My message to you as we enter the new year of 2016 is:
UThixo akasoze aninika umthwalo ongaphezulu kwamandla aniphe wona. Uma umthwalo sewufuna ukuba ngaphezulu, uyafika Yena anithwalise wona.
Noma ibuphi ubunzima enidibana nabo ngalomsebenzi eniwunikwe Nguye, lobobunzima abusoze baba ngaphezu kwalokhu Yena asanenzela khona.
Uma nicabanga ngezinto enithe nadlula kuzo ezimpilweni zenu, kokunye nize nimangale ukuthi kakade nidlule kanjani na; you will realise that God’s Grace has somehow enabled you to go beyond your normal capabilities.
(Philippians 4: vs11-12 : “I have been trained by Christ to face anything ….”)
Ngaphambi kokuba uThixo akuthume to His targetted people, uyakulungiselela ukuze ukhulume into oyaziyo from experience. As part of your training and preparations, ukudlulisa “kuzo” ukuze ukwazi to do His job with feelings and compassion.
Ngakhoke, noma ibuphi ubunzima enidibane nabo in doing this noble task yokusihola thina sibe nokuziqhenya ngobuzwe bethu bemaMbatheni, umvuzo wenu usezandleni zika Jehova.
( 1st Corithians 15: v58 : “…yazini ukuthi ukusebenza kwenu akusilo ize eNkosini.”)
We will always be grateful to you and hold you in highest esteem.
May our God Almighty reward you abundantly this 2016 new year, and make you and your families be more prosperous
