“No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.” (Johan 3:13)
The KwaSizabantu Mission in the Kranskop area, KwaZulu-Natal, plan the first PHAKAMISA UJESU/ LIFT JESUS HIGHER march for Thursday, 18 May 2023, on Ascension Day. The aim is to make the Christian’s voice heard by celebrating Christ’s exaltation. The march will commence from 11:00 to 13:00 and will start from King Dinizulu Park in Durban. It will proceed down DR Pixley Kaseme St (West) to the City Hall.
The 40th Ministers’ Conference held at KwaSizabantu earlier this year identified the need for action to lift up our Lord Jesus Christ. The three-day conference was attended by hundreds of Christian leaders from across Africa and around the world, including India, Germany, Romania, England, Armenia, Hungary, Paraguay, and the United States. The powerful message of Rev Erlo Stegen, which was a reminder to all Christian leaders that Jesus was on earth to make disciples of all nations and that all powers have been given to Him, inspired them to act. Rev Stegen told the audience they should not exclude themselves from that. All Christians have the commission to make disciples for the Lord, but they should not wait any longer to do that and should jump into action.
The planned march is therefore a call for Christians to act and unite; to let Jesus be lifted up and to let everybody know that there is no name like the name of Jesus Christ.
Although Ascension Day is no longer a public holiday in South Africa, to the Christians it will always be a special day to remember the Lord’s ascension to be exalted as Lord and Christ, and seated at the right hand of God – He to whom all authority in heaven and earth has been given.
The march is coordinated by KwaSizabantu. All Christians are welcome to join. If they cannot attend the march, they can get follow believers together to pray on the day or to organise a similar march in their community. Alternatively, they can gather in a public park or roadside and pass on the message on a poster. This way all Christians are encouraged to let their voices be heard and lift up the name of Jesus Christ. South Africa will then know that Christians exist, exercise their freedom to practice their faith and work together, united in Christ. Away from division – unity in Christ is our strength.

Wonderful opportunity to remind SA that Christ should be given His rightful exalted place of honour in our country. As He ascended He will return. It is high time that we as Christians turn away from our wicked ways and in our daily living obey Christ, His Word, as we uplift Him as Lord of our lives. Then we will shine the light of Christ on those around us, drawing them to Him.
