BIRTHDAY EVE BURIAL FOR BISHOP MASEKO’S WIFE

MBEKELWENI – Today is the 65th birthday for Mary Lomshado Maseko but she will not have the opportunity to celebrate it.

Reason: She was peacefully laid to rest yesterday morning at Mbekelweni (Boyane) after passing away on August 7, 2018 after committing suicide. 
The wife to renowned man of God, Bishop Dr. Enoch Lwane Maseko of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ Ministries, was expected to celebrate her birthday with members of her church today.

The church members were anticipating this day.
“We were looking forward to celebrate your birthday as a church this coming Sunday, 19th of August,” they wrote on a banner that was placed inside the tent where her vigil was held.

Another message on the banner read: “We were still expecting more teachings from you.”
Mary might be gone but the church believes that she has played her part on earth and they asserted this by referring, on the banner, to the biblical book of Timothy chapter 4 verse 7, which reads: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

As the rain fell yesterday morning, speakers could not stop singing praises of the work that Mary had done with her husband in spreading the Word of God. One speaker even told of how she used to enjoy nightclubbing around Matsapha’s famous drinking holes where she drank herself silly and witnessed horrific scenes.

“But one day as I walked past the New Covenant Church, from a drinking spree, I heard Bishop Maseko preaching and the Word of God touched me,” she said.
As she spoke in tongues, the lady described how her life changed from that moment and she eventually committed herself to serving God, which she encouraged everyone to do.

“I remember how Mrs Maseko contributed to the person I am today. She is the reason I am a changed person. Today I can even prophesy that the Kingdom of Eswatini is the brook from which nations of the world will come to quench their thirst. Sikhuphe Airport will welcome hundreds of airplanes that will be bringing people to invest in the kingdom,” she foretold.

Other speakers, including Bishop S.P Shongwe from South Africa, told of how Mary and Bishop Maseko had humble hearts that had transformed the lives of many.

“She even taught me how to dress. I look smart today because of her. Together with her husband they would usually come to South Africa to preach, and we would give them luxurious cars and dress them smartly because that’s what they deserve. I assure Bishop Maseko that he is still welcome in South Africa and we are prepared to even offer him land to build a home if need be,” Bishop Shongwe said to the applause of the mourners.

Throughout the sermon, Bishop Maseko appeared calm and relaxed as he would converse with those next to him.
It was at the gravesite where signs that he was at pains at the loss of his wife began to show and he had to be given a chair to sit as fellow clergyman comforted and supported him.

He followed the burial proceeding of his wife and had to be given a blanket to keep warm as the rain brought about cold.
When the peaceful burial ended, mourners approached the bishop to offer their condolences and words of encouragement.
Those who spoke at the funeral service were in unison that the bishop had lost a giant of a wife; a pillar of his family; and the rock of his church.
