had lunch with the best pastor in the whole world a few days ago.the food was so good and the waiters were very friendly but more importantly l enjoyed juss being out with a man that l have grown to respect so much together with my good friend shepherd.we talked about quite a few things including how l should learn to take myself out once in a while as l prepare to be a husband and how shepherd needed to find a girlfriend pretty soon because of the three of us on the table he was the only one without a woman in his life.
pastor dixon told us how much he appreciated our service in Celebration Church Zimbabwe and he encouraged us to keep up the good work. we also had sometime to reflect on the FIT concert and how it impacted young people's lives and we all agreed to the fact that we wanted to see this initiative happen sometime again. l enjoy serving God. And every challenge l face seems to be a stepping stone into the new things that God is calling me to serve Him in. As we sat there and talked l remembered Shepherd's words when we where still preparing and plnning the concert.He said "let's have a concert Lungile, that will not just be about singing but one that will leave people having encountered Jesus. Let's avail ourselves to be used by God to reach out to His children." Today, two weeks after the concert, l see that vision coming to pass.l see God giving us opportunity to do that everyday and it is always a wonder how such a big God would choose to use simple individualslike you and me to do His purposes on the face of this earth.
there is no higher calling than to be a servant of the most high God.l love this Jesus!!!!

concert!!!
enjoying some rest this easter weekend and l must say that l really appreciate not having to wake up at the usual time. this weekend was unique in that we had a concert at church called the Fit concert. it was good to see people coming and enjoying themelves as they sang and danced.lt was lots of work to try and bring these things together and l'm glad that at the end of it all we saw the fruit of the preparation that we had put into this.
there is lot that happened fom the time we decided we where going to have a concert to the time we where on stage doing the actual concert. if l had known we would have faced some of the stuff that we faced l probably would have decided we dont start the planning at all but l'm glad l didnt know because l got to enjoy one of the most meaningful events in my life and l am ready for more!!!! there is a lot as well that could have stood out as the outstanding experience for us as we planned and put together this concert....it could have been the struggles we had choosing a date a nd having to move it becoz another event was taking pplace at the same time....it could have been trying to get a catchy way of advertising the concert so many people would come......it could be the practise times that we had as a band that got more taxing as we drew towards the day.....it could be the recording that we did two days be4 the concert(which was really hard for me to go to becoz l needed to be chatting with my darling at the same time)....it could be many things for the many guys who where part of making this happen but for me it was the time when l opened my eyes as we where on stage and l saw many hands lifted up and people were praising and worshiping God as we sang the song 'hossana to the king who came and died and rose again'
l'm thankful to God for allowing me the opportunity to serve Him in this way and l look forwrd to doing even more things for this Jesus as we are used by Him as his search and rescue team to find His lost sheep....hossana to the King!!!!
