It’s the traditional lifestyle – the connection to nature, the ochre dust from which we were taken (Genesis 2:7), and connection to the supernatural realm, which is pre-eminent. It is the hospitality for those we know and strangers alike. It is being undiluted by the rot of modernisation – children respecting elders, elders disciplining children, everyone playing their God-given role for the advancement of society. It is rebuilding after every trauma our continent and people have been put through, and still our light has yet to be extinguished. Because we are fire – God’s fire, arrows launched into the void to dispel the powers of darkness and break up the works of the devil. We have our problems, but we are rich in the things that matter.

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Not in the traditional sense, but in the Biblical sense (see 1 Peter 2:9). I am part of a royal priesthood. The kingdom of God has God as King at its centre, and His children as princes and princesses (royal). We render sacred service to God first and foremost, and then to one another (priesthood). A Biblical leader is in the trenches with you, as God is with us, at great sacrifice and personal cost. That is the sense in which I see myself as a leader.

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

How much the Father’s heart must be constantly breaking because of how His own children treat Him at times and how the world continually rejects Him. Yet He still pours out His Spirit richly and without reserve, for that is His very nature – to love. Even in His anger and rebuke He is still loving to not destroy those against Him but attempt to rescue them in spite of themselves. Laudate Dominum!
