Her Royal Highness Inkhosikati Lafogiyane has today called on church members to unite in prayer for 20 newly ordained pastors from God Voice Living Church during a special ceremony held at the church's Bethany location. The Inkhosikati emphasized the importance of spiritual support, stating, “Pray for them because their spiritual war has just begun.”

Before delivering her message, Inkhosikati read from the book of Ezekiel 34:1-10, inspiring the congregation with guidance from scripture. She urged the pastors to remain steadfast in their commitment to God’s word, underscoring its significance in their ministerial journey. “As new pastors, you will face challenges and warfare, but God trusts you to fight,” she declared, encouraging them to draw strength from their faith.

In her speech, she also referenced the story of David and Goliath from the book of Samuel, illustrating the triumph of faith under adversity. “Just as David stood against Goliath with courage, you too must stand firm in your calling, knowing that God is with you,” she said.

Among the ordained pastors were notable figures such as Emakhosikati Winile Nomphumelelo, Eza Samuels, and renowned gospel artist Nelsiwe Siwela. The ordination service was led by Bishop Thokozane Dlamini, the founder and leader of God Voice Church, who highlighted the theme of spiritual thirst in his reading from Psalms 42:1-9. He further expressed his pride in the new leaders. "It has taken me 15 years to raise and nurture these men and women of God," he said. "I am proud that today they will be going out to be fishers of men."

The event was attended by members of the Royal household, clergy from various denominations, friends and families of the ordained pastors, and church members, all showing their support and celebration of this significant milestone in the pastors’ lives..

As the newly ordained pastors embark on their spiritual journey, the call for prayer and solidarity reflects the church's commitment to nurturing strong, resilient leaders ready to face the challenges ahead.
