REV MAZIBUKO FINDS COMPANION

MBABANE – Reverend Johannes Mazibuko of the Alliance Church has found a companion.

Mazibuko’s partner was officially introduced to the church during yesterday’s service.
Reverend Mazibuko lost his wife in July this year after battling a long illness.

In an interview with the man of God, he confirmed that his soon-to-be wife was introduced by the chairman to the congregants. He said this was the first step they had taken before their families could be involved.

According to Mazibuko, although it was a fact that he had recently lost his wife, however, the consideration that him finding a companion was ‘too soon’ was based on who or what?

Remembered

He said biblical teachings informed him that when a person dies, he or she could not be remembered, which was stated in the book of Ecclesiastes 9 verses 3-5. Mazibuko said this did not mean that one did not care but the truth was that when the person has passed away, they would not wake up ‘even when you mourn for 12 years’.
He stated that what was important was to respect the person, love and take good care of the person during their lifetime ‘but when they die, it is finished’. Mazibuko said what people needed to understand was that the Bible taught that married people were separated by death and his spouse had passed on.

Sex

Meanwhile, he noted that as a pastor, he worked with a lot of personalities and knew that in a person’s mind, once you marry for the second time they think about sex. “To remarry is not about sex but companionship as it is clearly stated in the Bible.”

He said he was an elder and needed a companion as he was alive and had to move on with life. Mazibuko said as a pastor, he travelled a lot and when he came back home, he needed a companion who would keep him company and talk about certain things and someone who would comfort him.

“In 1st Corinthians 7 verse 39, Apostle Paul speaks about the fact that once you are married, you are tied to your partner until death, once one dies the one left behind is a free person. Also, he noted that if a person who is widowed decides to find a companion they are free to take whoever but they should be a Christian when they are also Christians,” he explained.

The reverend said they took some time to find out more about his bride-to-be and they were satisfied with what they found. “My wife’s death was not an accident, she was ill for a while,” he added.
