Conclusion
I dedicate this book to my beloved and dear mother, Koko Kate Kewana, whose spirit left this world in 1987 to the place of resting peace. She taught me from childhood how to fear and honour God. She was instrumental in my knowing God from childhood. It is through her discipline that today I am the man I am and the person I am. I will always be grateful to her for the education that she gave me.
May your soul rest in peace, Mvulane, Ncilashe.
I will always love you.
Acknowledgement
This is my first book. The writing of this book was possible because of my beloved wife Matshele Kewana, who was the source of encouragement every time I felt discouraged. She also played a major role in supporting me with prayer. I will always be indebted to my son Nceba, my daughters, Pitsi and Babalwa, and my adoptive son, Dakalo. They all played a role in motivating me to complete this book. I also extend my gratitude to my fellow congregants at Heart to Heart Ministries for their continuous prayers. I shared most of what is written here with them during our Sunday meetings.
I am grateful to my friend, Mzukisi Madikane, for persuading me not to give up on the truth. Thank you.
Thank you, Lebowa Malaka, for writing the foreword of this book. You are a friend indeed. May God bless you.
Foreword
I must acknowledge the commendable work that Thuso has done in this book, but even more I must express my respect for the courage he needed to capture this revelation of knowledge and defy his doubts, which arose from the fear of criticism. When I first read this book, I was shattered for a moment because I was also used to the very church system described in the book, and I must say that I was immediately struck by anxiety and doubt. Just like everybody else who will read this book, you may experience an inner commotion when you read the first few pages of the book, but I must reassure you that this is normal—especially when you’ve been at the centre of the church systems described in this book. When I read deeper and deeper, God started to give me a revelation. He told me to read with understanding and wisdom, and the whole book became a light to me.
This book has opened my eyes, and now I know my position in the church. I remember that the church is not the building in which we have fellowship but rather the people themselves. Every single page of this book focuses not on condemning people, but on the systems being applied in churches by some pastors (of course, not all). I now know that I should not operate on the themes of inferiority and condemnation that are preached in some churches. It’s not the amount of material things I commit to God that will turn God’s heart towards me. No, God’s heart is already with me, and His love does not depend on how much I love or give Him. He loves me anyway, because He made me righteous. A word
