Pastor Allen G. Dlamini

Theme: Healing

Main Text: James 5:14

Date: 1 June 2025

In this continuation of the healing series, Pastor Allen G. Dlamini delivered a compelling message rooted in the promise of divine healing. Beginning with James 5:14, he highlighted the biblical instruction for the sick to seek prayer and anointing from Church elders,an act of faith that invites divine intervention. Healing, he emphasized, is not a distant hope but part of every believer’s inheritance in Christ.

Referencing Exodus 15:26, Pastor Allen reminded us that God calls Himself Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals. God does not bring sickness; instead, He offers healing to those who obey His Word. The prayer of the prophet in Jeremiah 17:14,“Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed”—served as a model of both desperation and trust. Psalm 107:20 reinforces this, declaring that God sends His Word to heal and deliver. Healing comes through the living, active Word of God.

Through Isaiah 53:5, we are shown the price Jesus paid for our healing: His wounds, His stripes. This divine exchange assures us that healing is already provided. Psalm 103:1–5 calls us to bless the Lord and remember His benefits, one of which is healing all our diseases.

Pastor Allen underscored the importance of altars of prayer. Both Hannah (1 Samuel 1:11) and Jacob (Genesis 28:20–22) made vows at personal altars that led to breakthrough. Healing often requires this deeper spiritual engagement, marked by prayer, faith, and dedication.

He then called the Church to pray aggressively and intentionally. Like the four friends in Luke 5:17–26 who tore open a roof to bring a paralyzed man to Jesus, we must be bold and unwavering in our pursuit of healing. Similarly, the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25–34) broke protocol just to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Their miracles came through relentless faith.

Healing, Pastor Allen explained, often lies beneath the surface. Like gold, it must be pursued with depth and diligence. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous (James 5:16) provokes healing—it is not accidental, but spiritually intentional. We do not wait for healing passively; we pursue it through prayer, faith, and confession.

He concluded by declaring the power in the name of Jesus, Jehovah Rapha. We rebuke sickness, not in our strength, but by the authority of His name and the power of His blood. Healing is ours. We receive it not only as a gift but as a divine right rooted in covenant. The congregation left uplifted, reminded of God’s healing promise, and charged to press into the presence of God for full restoration, spirit, soul, and body.

This Mother's Day, Jesus Calls Worship Center Ngwenya was honored to welcome Guest Pastor L. Mzizi from Jesus Calls Worship Center Matsapha for a profound message centered on Luke 10:39-42 and the deeper spiritual truth about being grafted into the family of God.

Pastor Mzizi’s sermon highlighted the essence of abiding in Christ and understanding our identity in Him. Drawing from Luke 10:39-42, where Jesus commends Mary for choosing the "better part" by sitting at His feet, Pastor Mzizi emphasized that, like Mary, we must prioritize time with God. The passage spoke to us about the importance of focusing on the root—Christ—who is the source of our life and spiritual growth.

Connecting this message to John 15:4-5, Pastor L Mzizi explained that we, as Gentiles, have been grafted into the tree of God's family, and just as branches draw nourishment from the root, we bear fruit because of our connection to Christ. Through abiding in Him, we are empowered to produce fruit and live out our divine purpose. Even as descendants of Abraham (Romans 11:7-15, 16-17), we are called to identify with the root that nourishes us, acknowledging the spiritual legacy we are part of.

The sermon also took us to Proverbs 31:31, urging us to recognize the fruits of our labor and our spiritual identity. As Christians, we must ask ourselves: Are we bearing fruit as grafted branches? Are we fully immersed in God’s will for us and the purpose He has placed in our lives? We must look inward and consider our role in God's divine plan.

Pastor L Mzizi also highlighted Ezekiel 43:1-3,5, where God speaks of the Gate on the East. Jesus Calls Worship Center Ngwenya is called to be this gate—not merely in geographic terms, but as a spiritual gateway positioned strategically in God's plan, watching over the movement of His people and His will in the region. As believers, we are called to persistently engage with the will of God for our lives and our communities, understanding the authority and responsibility we carry.

In His presence, we receive the fullness of Grace, which empowers us to carry out God's will. Pastor L Mzizi challenged us to ask, "What are we going to do in such a time as this?" With unwavering faith, we must recognize our calling to bear fruit, stay rooted in Christ, and fulfill God's purpose for our lives.
