From the heat at the beginning to the rain today, it shows His presence among us. As a nation, we must continue to come together and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The King urged church leaders to intensify their mission of spreading the Gospel across all corners of the country, stressing that the message of Christ\u2019s death and resurrection must be reflected in the daily lives of believers.<\/p>\n<p>He said challenges such as financial hardships should be seen as tests of faith, reminding the faithful that endurance leads to growth and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing from biblical teachings, His Majesty referenced the story of Daniel, encouraging Emaswati to remain steadfast even in difficult situations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who walk with God do not live in fear. They have courage because they trust in Him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further reminded Emaswati that integrity must guide their actions at all times, even when no one is watching. The King said people should always remember that God sees everything. \u201cEven when you think no one sees you, there is Someone above who sees all that you do,\u201d he said, urging the nation to uphold honesty, humility and righteousness in both public and private life.<\/p>\n<p>The King further highlighted that Eswatini continues to enjoy peace because of the love and unity among its people values that align with God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged citizens to make church attendance and worship a consistent part of their lives, noting that a spiritually grounded nation is stronger and more resilient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who live in God do not fear anything. They have strength and courage. Let us continue to care for one another and live in harmony,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His Majesty also reminded the nation that one day all people will account before God for their actions, urging Emaswati to live righteously and treat others with respect and humility.<\/p>\n<p>The King concluded by thanking church leaders for their prayers and dedication, and wished them a safe journey as they returned to their respective communities.<\/p>\n<p>Before proceeding to the marquee, His Majesty inspected tetfulo presented by Emaswati, including offerings from Pastor Moses Warren, Stanley Lukhele, Susan Mkhabela, Madayisi Dacosta and others.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on behalf of the clergy, Prince Simelane expressed gratitude for the hospitality extended by Their Majesties during the Easter period, describing it as a true reflection of unity, love and faith.<\/p>\n<p>He further uplifted the gathering with a powerful worship moment, leading the song \u201cIvukile Ingwenyama walayeka Sathane,\u201d which resonated deeply with congregants and marked a fitting spiritual conclusion to the national Easter services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Eswatini<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
