1:

My stubborn will at last hath yielded;

I would be Thine and Thine alone;

And this the prayer my lips are bringing,

Lord let in me they will be done.

CHORUS:

Sweet will of God, still fold me

Closer, Till I am wholly lost in Thee;

Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,

Till I am wholly lost in Thee

2:

I’m tried of sin, footsore and weary,

The darksome path hath dreary grown,

But now a light has ris’n to cheer me!

I find in Thee my Star, my Sun.

3:

Thy precious will, O conquering Saviour.

Doth now embrace and compass me;

All discords hushed, my peace a river,

My soul, a prisoned bird set free.

4:

Shut in with Thee, O Lord, for ever,

My wayward feet no more to roam;

What power from Thee my soul can sever?

The center of God’s will my home.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayer

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You.

1:

I need Thee, precious Saviour,

Oh, Thou art all to me;

Before the throne forever,

I stand complete in Thee.

Though satan loud accuses,

Yet I can ever see,

The blood of Christ most precious,

The sinners perfect plea.

2:

I need Thee, precious Saviour,

I need a friend like Thee

A friend to soothe and comfort

A friend to care for me;

I need Thy heart, Lord Jesus,

To feel each anxious care

To bear my every burden,

And all my sorrow share.

3:

I need Thee, precious Saviour,

I need Thee day by day,

To fill me with Thy fulness,

To lead me on my way:

I need Thy Holy Spirit

To teach me what I am

To show me more of Jesus,

To point me to the Lamb.

4:

I need Thee, precious Saviour,

And hope to see Thee soon,

Encircled with the rainbow,

And seated on Thy throne;

There, with Thy blood-bought people,

My joy shall ever be,

To sing Thy praise, Lord Jesus,

And ever gaze on Thee.

Thank You Jesus,

Hymn 557. My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace

1:

My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,

Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God:

‘Tis His to lead me there, not mine, but His

“At any cost, dear Lord, by any road!”

2:

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,

And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;

Upheld by Him; my soul is following hard,

Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

3:

No matter if the way be some times dark,

No matter though the cost be oft-times great,

He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,

The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

4:

No thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;

One thing I do, I press toward my Lord:

My God, my glory here, from day to day,

And in the glory there my Great Reward.

Thank You Jesus,

Pastor Joshua Mhlakela who falsely predicted the Rapture awkwardly asks viewers to be patient


Advertisements
Advertisements

A South African pastor who predicted that the Rapture would take place between September 23 and 24 2025, has come under fire after the prophecy failed to materialize, leaving his followers disillusioned and critics vindicated.

Pastor Joshua Mhlakela went viral earlier this year after he claimed that Jesus appeared to him in a vision and told him the Rapture would occur during the Jewish Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah. The Rapture, a belief held by some evangelical Christians, teaches that Jesus will return to take true believers to heaven while others remain on earth to endure tribulation before the world’s end.

The prediction fueled a wave of hysteria on TikTok dubbed “RaptureTok,” with believers and skeptics alike reacting to the pastor’s declaration. But when the dates passed without incident, disappointment quickly set in. Mhlakela hosted a livestream on the night of September 23 and, as the clock ticked down with no divine intervention, he urged viewers to be patient. He assured his audience that “the Lord is on his way” and would arrive “with a host of angels.” At 12:17 a.m. on September 24, he and his guests ended the broadcast by telling followers to “keep waiting” because “September 23rd, 24th. One of these two days, he is coming.” The livestream has since been deleted, and Mhlakela has not posted online since.

The fallout has been swift. Several faith leaders and influencers who had amplified his claims have since apologized. Among them was Australian preacher Tilahun Desalegn, who went as far as selling his car, believing he would no longer need it. “I won’t need her beyond September, because I’m going home to where my father in heaven is,” he said in a now-viral video. After the Rapture failed to occur, he admitted, “I will never publicly talk about the Rapture again.” Nigerian preacher Kingsalem Igwe also retracted his earlier support for Mhlakela, telling followers, “I’m here with all humility to apologize to everyone. I only believed a man who claimed Jesus told him.”

Many Christians were critical from the outset, warning that Mhlakela’s prophecy contradicted scripture. “Do not be deceived! No man knows when Jesus will return,” one viewer wrote in response to the livestream. Another urged him to admit he was mistaken: “Just admit you didn’t hear from God. He’s coming, but not when YOU said.” Prominent pastor and author Vladimir Savchuk echoed this, stating that anyone who sets a date for the Rapture “is directly contradicting Jesus’s word.”

Mhlakela first revealed his prophecy three months ago in an interview with CettwinzTV, insisting he had seen Jesus on his throne, who told him clearly that he would return on September 23 or 24, 2025. The claim not only unsettled believers but also sparked humorous reactions online, with some TikTok users joking about whether pets would be included in the Rapture. One widely shared video showed a man hoisting his dog into the air as if preparing it for salvation.

While many are now dismissing Mhlakela’s failed prediction as another chapter in a long history of unfulfilled prophecies, the incident highlights how quickly religious claims can gain traction online, and the consequences when they collapse under the weight of unmet expectations.

Thank You Jesus,

Rapture Date Fails: Pastor Joshua Mhlakela's Prediction Ends in Disappointment and Apologies

Understanding God’s Love in a Painful World

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. —Psalm 46:1

One of my new friends is a mom whose 21-year-old daughter died suddenly in 2009, which sent her reeling. She told me, “I feel like an outcast from the normal world. I feel crushed and my soul is in so much pain.”

Indeed the losses that visit us can knock us off our feet—whether a death in the family, a child who walks away from God and family, or a physical or mental setback.

Yet what I’ve discovered is something musician Jeremy Camp made clear in a song he wrote after the death of his wife in 2001: When you are knocked off your feet by life’s difficulties, remember that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Ps. 46:1). That’s reason enough to get back up again. Camp described his struggle in the song called “Understand.” He asked, “Why don’t I get back on my feet again?” And he recognized that he could because “I know You understand it all.”

When trouble knocks us down, we can look up. God is there. He understands and cares. It’s not easy, but we can trust Him to help us get back on our feet again. —Dave Branon

Lift up your eyes, despairing one,
The Lord your help will be;
You have a friend in heaven who cheers,
And calms the troubled sea. —Anon.

There is no place where earth’s sorrows are felt more than in heaven.

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Finding Hope in a Troubled World

Be Encouraged: Jesus Is Coming!

We sometimes wonder where God is during the storms of life, in all the troubles of the world. Where is God? Why doesn’t He stop the evil? The Bible assures us that God will abolish evil when Christ returns. Someday He will come with shouts of acclamation, and there will be a joyous reunion of all those who have trusted in Him.

Jesus did not tell us when He is coming back. He said we were not to speculate. “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matthew 24:36). The sixth chapter of Revelation gives a strikingly detailed portrait of the end times, but no one knows when these things will occur except the Father in heaven.

May The Good Lord Save Nigeria And Israel From All Our Enemies And Prosper Us Beyond Our Imaginations, In Jesus Christ Mighty Name We Pray, Amen!

Finding Peace in a Fearful World through Jesus

No Reason To Fear Child Of God.

“Then said Jesus unto them again, verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:7, 11

Throughout the Bible, particularly the New Testament, God used things that we can readily identify with to speak to us the deep mystery of the Kingdom. Jesus used the everyday things around to teach very deep truths that every believer ought to know. He knew that if you can just catch a glimpse of what He is saying, you will be more effective ministers of the Gospel.

Look at our text again; do you understand the full import of what Jesus was saying? If you truly understand our text for today, you will have no reason to fear anything in life. Let me break it down a little – The sheepfold is a place where the sheep are kept safe. There is an opening into this place through which the sheep is herded in. The good shepherd then sleeps right across that opening in the night. The implication is whenever danger comes the enemy had to first contend with the shepherd before entering the sheepfold. Now you can understand it better when Jesus says He is the door to the sheepfold and the good shepherd.

This means that the good shepherd guarantees the supply of all my needs and he, who is the door to the sheepfold, also guarantees my protection from any evil. Hallelujah! So I can say without any shadow of fear that nothing shall by any means hurt me. The same is true for you, if only you will believe. Beloved, you have no reason to fear.

How Faith Shapes the World Around Us

Faith Pleases God

 

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1

 

From the very first line of the Bible, God requires us to have faith. He doesn’t go into elaborate detail about who He is or how He created everything. God doesn’t lay out His case as a logical legal brief. He just states plainly, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

 

Once you read these words you are compelled to either walk in faith and believe the Word of God or choose to dismiss it.

 

It’s clear that it takes faith to believe the Bible, because there are many unanswered questions. God wastes no time trying to talk us into believing His Word. The ability to believe God’s Word is a gift of faith from Him (Ephesians 2:8).

 

If you find yourself questioning the reality of God’s Word, then you need faith. How can you get faith? “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).

 

Read the Word of God, listen to the Word of God, repeat aloud the Word of God, meditate on the Word of God and sing God’s Word. This will allow faith to come-for without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
