Briefly, the core content of my message, as per my commission is about: REALIGNING THE PEOPLE WITH THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY OF WORSHIPPING YAHUAH, DERIVING DOCTRINAL GUIDANCE FROM THE TEACHINGS OF PROPHET ISAIAH SHEMBE (peace be upon him) HE IMPARTED TO THE NAZARITES!
Hymn 153.
1.Nanti ilizwi elomemo
Liyamema bonke abantu
Alikhethi noma munye
Liyamema bonke abantu.
2.Abansudu nabamhlophe
Libamema kwana njalo
Alikhethi noma munye
Liyamema bonke abantu.
3.Zimpumputhe nani zinyonga
Sabelani niyabizwa
Lolu memo ngolwezulu
Ziyamenywa zonke izizwe
Alikhethi noma munye
Liyamema bonke abantu.

1.As there is now in Hebrew too much controversy around a valid version of the name ‘Jehova’, in my sermons I will use ‘Yahuah’, ‘Yah’, or ‘Yehova,” and instead of ‘Jesus’ I will use ‘Yahusha’ or ‘Yeshua!’
2.Up to now, sermons of this assembly of the Nazarites of God since its inception in 2010, have always been presented in isiZulu.
3.But from now onwards, though these sermons will also be written in isiZulu, they will now be presented in English.
4.The reason for presenting them in English, is because it has always been the purpose of the prophet and founder of this assembly to have this gospel permeating the entire planet, just as the hymn we have just sung also resonates the same core message.
5.Therefore, there is a need for me to provide a historical background to the faith system of Prophet Isaiah Shembe (peace be upon him), called the NAZARITE FAITH. “SHEMBE” is the name the prophet was given by his grandfather, Nhliziyo, though later it became the surname.
6.The way we now present our sermons reflect our acute awareness that we are no longer just addressing the Zulus alone, but we are now addressing the global audience.
7.The prophet is thought to have been born among the Zulus around 1865 in the magisterial district of Estcourt in Kwazulu-Natal province, but he grew up in Harrismith, in the Free State province.
8.He arrived in Natal, among the Zulu people, in 1910, and passed away on May 2, 1935, while this assembly was still almost confined in the same province.
9.In 1919 the prophet declared that four priests would take over the leadership role after his earthly demise; they would then lead the assembly.
10.Those priests were Mnqayi, who was an elder, and Mzobe, who was also an elder.
11.He then ordained his two sons, Galilee Shembe, who was then15 years old, and Amos Shembe who was 13 years old.
12.The prophet’s declaration was, itself prophetic, because he made his son, Galilee Shembe, kneel before Rev. Mnqayi and made the second one, Amos Shembe, kneel before Rev. Mzobe.
13.He did all that on top of Mount Nhlangakazi before the assembly.
14.He then uttered the following words to the assembly, saying: “My children, I am being mandated by Yahuah to ordain these priests of His, who will lead this assembly when He has taken me away from this planet.”
15.After my departure, this assembly will be led by Rev. Mnqayi, but should he not lead it, it will be led by this child, Galilee.
16.If that will come to pass, it will be led by Rev. Mzobe, but if this priest will not lead it, it will be led by this child, Amos.” (The prophet addressed any person, including the congregation as “my child or my children”).
17.After a while Shembe sent these priests, Mnqayi and Mzobe, to go out and preach this gospel outside eKuphakameni.
18.But they never returned to this assembly of the Nazarites after their evangelizing expeditions; instead, they established their independent assemblies.
19.When Shembe passed on in 1935, only his two ordained sons were still present within the assembly.
20.Just as the prophet had declared, after his departure, the assembly was then led by his son who had already come of age, being 30 years old. The prophecy was then fulfilled as the two priests, Mnqayi and Mzobe were no longer there!
21.Rev. Galilee Shembe led this assembly for forty years. After his departure in 1976, when he was 70 years old, it became apparent that he had not drawn up a will, but then it also became obvious that there would have been no need for it since his father had already declared who would succeed him in that leadership position.
22.By 1976, reverends Mzobe and Mnqayi had already passed on, and Lord Galilee Shembe had also passed on; therefore, the assembly had a mutual agreement that Amos Shembe was the only surviving incumbent among those that the prophet had appointed.
23.Indeed, after the departure of Lord Galilee Shembe, the assembly was then led by Amos Shembe who was also matured.
24.As the following names will appear on several occasions, we will refer to the prophet and founder of the assembly as Shembe I, Lord Galilee Shembe as Shembe II, and then Lord Amos Shembe will be Shembe III.
25.After Shembe II’s departure, Shembe III led this assembly as a combined formation for six months, but Shembe II’s son, Londa, then rebelled, claiming that he was the one who should have succeded his father in leading the assembly.
26.The situation was almost like coup d’etat, because that violent event culminated in the loss of about five congregants.
27.Due to the violence that had erupted at eKuphakameni, Shembe III came out of the headquarters of this assembly and established another mission station, called eBuhleni.
28.But 99% of the congregants followed Shembe III because they were privy to the narrative on how Shembe I had arranged the succession plan within this assembly, and Shembe 111 was the only surviving successor after the demise of Shembe II.
29.But that simply meant that the assembly of the Nazarites had been split asunder; the camp that was led by Shembe III, with 99% of followers, and then just 1% that followed Shembe II’s son, Londa Shembe.
30.The majority of Shembe II’s sons followed their junior uncle, Shembe III. Rev. Londa Shembe did not survive because he was murdered probably after a few years in that leadership position.
31.But his murder had nothing to do with the leadership contestation within the assembly, as it was connected with political killings since he was killed by the ANC.
32.The fact that he was murdered by the ANC was revealed by the late leader of Inkatha, the Prince of KwaPhindangene, and the ANC did not dispute such a claim!
33.After the demise of Rev. Londa Shembe, his son, Vukile, took over.
34.Concerning the leadership of Shembe III, other Shembe sons, regarding the assembly as the Shembe fief, rose and claimed their legitimacy as succeeding leaders after his demise.
35.Currently, there are about five factions of this assembly, all from the Shembe family. Each of them says, “I am Shembe!”
36.I am revealing this historical background so that whenever we preach, the listeners may have full understanding of the situation in this assembly.
37.I am a born Nazarite; my mother Landiwe Dube was an orphan, but when Shembe I arrived at the Dube residence, he adopted my mother while she was 11 years old and treated her like his child.
38.Upon Shembe I’s departure in 1935, my mother lived with Shembe II until she got married into the Mpanza family.
39.I grew up within this assembly, getting ordained as a Lay Preacher and then as an Evangelist.
40.In January 4, 2010, when the assembly was led by Rev. Vimbeni Shembe, an angel literally visited me and said she had been sent by the late Shembe II to instruct me to come out of the assembly of eBuhleni and establish his assembly in which I would teach on appropriate ways of worshipping Yahuah on the basis of Shembe 1’s teachings.
41.(The story of the angel’s arrival, who is still with us, is a bit long; we will present it on another day).
42.Initially, I did not accept such an instruction, but I eventually came out of eBuhleni in September 2010, when I had realized that my prolonged stay within eBuhleni was no longer acceptable in the heavenly realm.
43.On my exit from eBuhleni, I explained to the assembly that an angel had visited me with a message regarding Shembe II’s instruction to come out of that assembly and establish an assembly, on his behalf, in which I would provide educative guidance on how Yahuah should be worshipped!
44.I even consulted both press and electronic media houses with a view to explaining this significant move.
45.Even the leader at the time, Rev. Vimbeni Shembe, accepted the announcement and advised members of the assembly not to be abusive toward me because my exit was not based on my personal decision, but it was per Shembe II’s command.
46.But after his earthly demise, the church members started verbally attacking me, saying I was an apostate, the terrorist villain of the same calibre as reverends Mnqayi and Mzobe!
47.But I proceeded with the implementation of what I had been commanded to do!
48.Briefly, the core content of my message, as per my commission is about: REALIGNING THE PEOPLE WITH THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY OF WORSHIPPING YAHUAH, DERIVING DOCTRINAL GUIDANCE FROM THE TEACHINGS OF PROPHET ISAIAH SHEMBE (peace be upon him) HE IMPARTED TO THE NAZARITES!
49.In brief, the divine message of the the Nazarite Church of God (NCG) is similar to the core gospel of the USA prophetess, Sister Celestial, except that I do not prophecy, but I revitalise the adherence to Yahuah’s laws that He gave unto Moshe, the laws that were also taught by all the prophets that succeeded him and then revived by Shembe I here in South Africa after their abolition through the Creeds of Constantine’s religion!
50.What makes me feel very delighted is that in heaven the Lord sent the angel in 2010 in order to revive Yahuah’s gospel among the Nazarites; then in 2011, Yah sent Sister Celestial in the USA to perform the same task among the Christians!
51.As I listened to Sister Celestial’s sermons, I discovered that her core gospel message is similar to the one the angel gave to us.
52.Occasionally, I read extracts of Sister Celestial’s sermons and prophecies, though I cannot claim that I know all of them, but just when I started listening to them, I knew for certain that this is Yah’s prophetess who is exactly the same as the ancient prophets of Yisra’el.
53.The Nazarites have brutally attacked me for preaching the gospel that is meant to realign them with the prophet’s teachings, but whenever I consider all the insults and attacks the Christians hurl at Sister Celestial, I often conclude that my situation is much more tolerable!
54.But what heartens me even more is that Aluah has vindicated this maiden concerning everything that He had commissioned her to utter among the people; her prophetic utterances are now being fulfilled, just as she had predicted! She is vindicated!
55.Nobody, today, can claim that Sister Celestial is a false prophetess or a prophetess of doom because everything she has said since 2019 has come to pass!
56.In Christianity, I have never heard anyone who utters such divine truths as Sister Celestial does.
57.It was this prophetess who said there is no teaching of Yeshua that touches on entering heaven just on account of his love, but she says everyone enters heaven by abandoning sins and observing Aluah’s Law just as He gave it to Moshe and as it has been taught by all the prophets who succeeded him.
58.It is Sister Celestial who has taught the Christians that sin is failure to observe Aluah’s Law. Christians teach about Moral and Ceremonial laws, though such notions do not exist in the Bible.
59.But according to the teachings of Moshe, which were reiterated by Yeshua, the first commandment directs us to love Yah; we demonstrate this by keeping His Law.
60.The second one commands us to deal with other on the basis of mutual affection and refrain from abusing each other.
61.It is written in the Bible that both of these laws are important to Aluah; failing to observe them is sinning!
62.Yah says, through this prophetess, there is no Old and New Testament in heaven. The divine Law that governs every pious person is one; it is the one Yah gave to Moshe!
63.But the world is ignoring this entire teaching that Yah has given through this prophetess, the teaching about the destruction of the planet that is reminiscent of the times of Noah!
64.The main difference between the prophet and the seer is that while the prophets see future events, they, at the same time, will also preach to the people about what Aluah wants and also what He does not want!
65.On the other hand, those who say they are prophets, can see future events, but all spiritual entities possess the same quality; mediums are the same. Then everybody thinks that because one can see the future through any spiritual power, then claims to be a prophet!
66.A prophet is Aluah’s messenger Whom He sends to warn the people about sin and its consequences.
67.In the history of humanity, mortal beings have never been afraid of what Aluah has said; the messenger is just insulted and mocked in every possible way, but Yah eventually destroys them!
68.There is only one nation that repented instantly and asked for Yah’s forgiveness after hearing that it had sinned to Aluah; that was the nation and the king of Nineveh.
69.Though Yah had declared that He would destroy that nation, on account of its repentance, He forgave her and was spared from destruction.
70.People who know nothing about Aluah believe that once He has declared something, He would never change; but that is not the case, Aluah reverses His decree even after declaring it.
71.Aluah declared through Sister Celestial that America would be led by Kamala Harris after Joe Biden has stepped down.
72.When Donald Trump won the elections, fake pious individuals felt vindicated and said: “We realized that this is just a false prophet!”
73.Since we spend time with the angel, we just kept quiet, because the angel had told us a while ago that Aluah declares a prophetic message and reverses it at time; she even showed us numerous biblical verses where prophecies were not fulfilled as per prior declarations!
74.What makes me feel extremely delighted is that Aluah has shown through Sister Celestial’s utterances how He destroys those who get puffed up with pride when they are warned to leave sin.
75.The floods that occurred in Texas and other places had been predicted by Sister Celestial a while ago, but people did not give a damn; instead, they insulted Yah’s prophetess in possible way.
76.She also declared that the end times are upon us, the time of destruction for most of us.
77.But people are not paying attention to what Sister Celestial is saying; instead, they are anticipating the return of Yeshua so that they go to heaven with Him. If such thing would occur as they anticipate, it is Sister Celestial who will tell us more about it!
78.Yahuah says the Flood that occurred in ancient times, when the entire planet was covered by the waters, will again occur even nowadays.
79.But people are just too complacent. The angel said to us: “Never wish to witness Aluah beating up a sinner because you will end up uttering inappropriate words, saying: “Oh no, what a cruel Aluah!”
80.What will happen in full view is what happens to every impious soul after death, but today excruciating destruction will happen right in front of us!
81.As humans are now experiencing the destruction, they have begun saying: “Let us pray for Texas, etcetera!”
82.I then say: “Wow, they want us to pray because they are being destroyed, but they were warned in the recent past about all what is happening now; they made Yahuah’s prophet a laughingstock, now they wish to get support in prayers!”
83.The entire America will be destroyed completely, and its citizens will be reduced to slaves to all the nations that it has been slaughtering. 84.It will be conquered by Russia in collaboration with China, Japan, South and North Korea and Iran. All this was declared by Yah through His prophetess!
85.Just like America, Israel will be completely defeated.
86.Yahuah says whoever will accommodate the Israeli during their wanderings will be severely condemned, because this nation brutally annihilated His people.
87.Sister Celestial has said on several occasions that the people who currently occupy Israel are fake Jews, but the real Judeans are us, the black negroid race. However, people cannot figure that out!
88.In Hosea 2:17, Yah says: “For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.” – King James Version.
89.Then, in Zephaniah 3:9, Yah says: “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.” – KJV
90.In the books of Moshe and prophets who succeeded him, were given only one name that we should venerate, and that is Yahuah or Yah in Hebrew.
91.However, it sounds strange when people argue around the authenticity of the name of Aluah our Creator.
92.Other pious people are found dclaring that Yeshua is Aluah, though he himself said that he was the messenger of Aluah. All that amounts to apostasy!
93.In the assembly of the Nazarites, the situation is very dire, because they do not just call Shembe I Aluah, but they just ordain their leader and call him their god!
94.That is why the angel said Shembe II commanded me to come out of the assembly of eBuhleni faction and establish an assembly that would focus on teaching the people on how to properly worship Yah!
95.Today, within this Nazarite assembly, if one opposes the false idea that these leaders are gods, they get harshly insulted and referred to as heretics, the villains of the assembly.
96.I once heard somebody within this assembly attacking me on TikTok, saying those who uphold my gospel are those who hate Shembe.
97.I am not sure who he was referring to by the name “Shembe” because I was taken by Shembe II out of eBuhleni, saying I must teach the people on how to worship Yahuah!
98.Now, which Shembe is Yahuah’s adversary? How do people who listen to the gospel message that is designed to reconcile them with Yahuah become Shembe’s enemies?
99.Whoever cannot figure out that we are now in the last days, just as even Sister Celestial always declares, is condemned to damnation! The Day of Judgement that Shembe I alluded to in his prophecies is mentioned in Hymn 28.
100.This is the moment when those whose faith has grown cold will now remember Aluah exists!
102.The Day of Judgement is confronting them, but they were alerted well in advance that Yahuah is the refuge only to those who love Him, those who consider worldly things vain and keep His Law!
103.Now, in this contemporary age, there are earthquakes that were predicted by Shembe I in the olden days; humanity is engulfed by every kind of natural disaster, showing us that our wisdom is vain before the Creator of heaven and earth!
104. ‘O earth, where will you hide yourself with all those sinners? Flee away, clustered grass stumps, for Yahuah is coming!”
May the Lord bless His Word!
