ENCOURAGEMENT FOR GR 12’S & STUDENTS
As our matric learners are preparing for their final exams, they must be reminded that this season is not just about tests on paper, but also about growing in faith, discipline, and perseverance. This also applies to all students in their different years of study.
Please make time to pray for the grade 12’s and students in your assembly. Remind them that God has given them the ability to learn, understand, and succeed. They must stay calm, do their best, and trust Him with the rest. The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This means that no matter how challenging the exams may seem, learners and students are not alone: God’s strength is available every step of the way, but they need to do their part.
Prepare diligently, rest when needed, and pray for peace of mind and clarity of thought. Remember, your value is not determined by your marks, but by who you are in Christ. As you walk into each exam room, carry confidence, not fear - because the same God who brought you this far will carry you through to success. Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV) also reminds us, “Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” So, commit your studies and your future to Him, do the best you can in preparation and believe that His plans for you are good. Keep faith, stay focused, and finish strong -you were made for this moment!
Njengoba abafundi bethu bakamatikuletsheni belungiselela izivivinyo zokuphela konyaka, kumele bakhunjuzwe ukuthi le sisikhathi akusona isikhathi sovivinyo ngendlela yokubhala kuphela, kodwa imayelana nokukhula okholweni, ukuzithiba nokubekezela. Lokhu kubhekiswe futhi kubo bonke abafundi emazingeni abo ahlukene okufunda.
Sicela uzinike isikhathi sokuthandazela abafundi bebanga le-12 kanye nalabo abasemazingeni aphansi. Nibakhumbuze ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubanike ikhono lokufunda, ukuqonda nempumelelo. Kufanele bahlale bezolile, benze konke okusemandleni abo ukuze baphumelele, futhi bamethembe kukhokonke. IBhayibheli liyasikhumbuza kweyakwabaseFilipi 4:13 (ZUL59) “Nginamandla ukwenza konke ngaye ongiqinisayo.” Lokhu kusho ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izivivinyo zingabonakala zinzima kangakanani, abafundi kababodwa: amandla kaNkulunkulu atholakala kuzo zonke izimo zendlela, kodwa kudingeka ukuthi nabo benze ingxenye yabo.
Lungiselela ngenkuthalo, uphumule uma kudingeka, futhi uthandazele ukuthula kwengqondo nokuhleleka kahle komqondo. Khumbula, ukuthi ubuwena nokubaluleka kwakho akusekelwanga phezu kwamaphuzu ozowafumana ezivivinyweni, kodwa kuncike ekuthini wena ungubani kuKristu. Njengoba ungena egumbini ngalinye lokuhlolwa, zethembe, ungesabi - ngoba yena lo Nkulunkulu owenze ukuthi ufike kulezinga okulona manje, nguye ozokuyisa empumelelweni.
IzAga 16:3 (ZUL59) nazo ziyasikhumbuza, “Gingqela kuJehova imisebenzi yakho, ukuze kuqiniswe amasu akho.” Ngakho-ke, nikela izifundo zakho kanye nekusasa lakho Kuye, yenza konke okusemandleni akho ekuzilungiseleleni futhi ukholwe ukuthi izinhlelo Zakhe ngawe zinhle. Gcina ukholo, hlala ugxilile, futhi uqede ngempumelelo -wenzelwe lesi sikhathi.
APPRECIATION OF OUR SENIOR MEMBERS
Today, I also want to remind our pastors to pause to honour and appreciate our senior members who have faithfully walked with God and served His people over the years. Their journey of faith, prayer, and perseverance has been a living testimony of God’s grace and goodness. They have built a foundation for the next generation through their example of steadfast love, integrity, and devotion to Christ.
The wisdom they share and the sacrifices they have made continue to inspire us to walk faithfully in our own calling. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:31 (NKJV) “The silver-haired head is a crown of glory; it is found in the way of righteousness.” The age of our are senior members is a crown that reflects a life lived in faith and service. Like the Apostle Paul, they can truly say, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” - 2 Timothy 4:7(NKJV).
Let us thank our senior members for showing us what it means to remain faithful in every season of life. Let us pray God’s continual strength and blessings on them, so that they may live with peace and joy, surrounded with the love and gratitude of those whose lives they have touched. Our senior members should know that they are deeply valued, dearly loved, and that their legacy will continue to bear fruit for generations to come.

Iminyaka yethu singamalunga amadala iyimiqhele ekhombisa impilo ephilwa ngokholo kanye nokuzinikela enkonzweni. NjengomPhostoli uPawulu, bangasho ngempela ukuthi, “Ngikulwile ukulwa okuhle, ngiliqedile ibanga, ngikugcinile ukukholwa” - 2 KuThimothewu 4:7 (ZUL59).
Masibonge amalungu ethu amadala ngokusibonisa ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuhlala sithembekile kuzo zonke izimo zempilo. Masikhuleke kuNkulunkulu ukuthi abanike amandla kanye nezibusiso ngokwengeziwe, ukuze baphile ngokuthula nenjabulo, bezungezwe uthando nokubonga kwalabo ababanomthelela omuhle ezimpilweni zabo. Amalungu ethu amadala kufanele azi ukuthi ayaziswa kakhulu, athandwa kakhulu, nokuthi umzekelo wawo uzoqhubeka nokuthela izithelo kuzizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.
