What can i say about such a great man! A gallant solder of the cross, a humble man of God, which such a great ministry, a global ministry. He was a brilliant mind, very sharp! God indeed uses what we have for the furtherance of His work.
My first encounter with the ministry of Pastor Nkodima was back in 1990 at nurses home. I will admit, as a very young boy then, i am not sure i understood half the things he was preaching about, but even back then, one could appreciate the depth of what he spoke about.
It has been an absolute honor and humble privilege to be able to stand alongside our precious Pastor Israel Nkodima for more than a decade as his interpreter. It is indeed a vocation that i took very seriously. My simple prayer every time was: "Lord, You have anointed Your servant to preach to us this morning, as i stand here beside him, may You also in some small measure anoint me with same anointing, so that i am in the same channel as him".
It was an honor to have access to him, not only at church, but at home also, or travelling to an outreach meeting somewhere, or fishing. A true measure to me of his humility to me was just how accessible he was to everyone. To be able to laugh with him, share many moments with him, whether in Tanzania, Malawi, Swaziland, Botswana, South Africa, to indeed be able to witness, as our prophet says: 131 Moses had the Word. Now remember, after the Word was made manifest, Moses was Moses again. See? But while that Word was in him to be give out, he was God; well, he wasn’t Moses no more. 64-0614M - The Unveiling Of God
It is a privilege i hold very dear.
He indeed inspired in me the love for a deep study of the Word of God and the Message of THIS HOUR, as Paul says: "yea, the deep things of God". He was a big influence on my spiritual life and for that i will always be grateful.
It is still somewhat surreal to think that Pastor Nkodima is not with us anymore.
It is my sincere prayer that the Lord will comfort his family and the church, as well as all of us. It is left upon us now to hold dear to the Word, in which is Rapturing power, for us to be able to see him one of these days, very soon.
God bless you

“A Life Poured Out for the Gospel”
(2 Timothy 4:7 – “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”)
Today, I thank God for the life of Pastor Israel Nkodima, a man who truly lived for the Gospel. His life was not about fame or comfort, but about Christ the Word.
I was privileged to serve under him as the first Deacon of Thembisa, one of the sister churches he Pastored. He often referred to Thembisa as his backbone. He loved the saints deeply, and wherever he went for outreaches, he always wanted saints from Thembisa to be present and support the work of God
As a young man, I travelled with him across eSwatini, Zimbabwe, Bloemfontein, and throughout the Transvaal — not for leisure, but for the Gospel’s sake.
I’ll never forget the day we went to the eSwatini Queens Royal palace; Out of respect, Pastor removed his shoes and preached barefoot. That moment reflected both his humility and the authority of the message he carried.
He lived a sacrificial life.
There was a time when he was scheduled to preach in Malawi, while his wife was due to go in for surgery. He didn’t cancel or postpone the trip — instead, he entrusted me to take his wife to the hospital for theatre, and he continued to Malawi. Without fail, he always ensured that God's work came first.
Such faith, courage, and dedication are rare today.
Through my encounter with him, I recognised the anointing and the divine calling upon his life.
God entrusted him with a special ministry — the Revelation of the 7th Seal, the Third Pull, the White Stone, and the mysteries of the Pyramid — the promised food in due season.
At some point he gave me the Revelation Series Books by the Prophet, and said:
“Me, you and these books will meet on the other side.” -As he has crossed over, the wheels of those words have started rolling towards their fulfillment
Pastor Nkodima was not just a preacher — he was a soldier of the Cross, a man who placed God above everything, and lived fully for the Gospel he loved.
Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to be spiritually born under such a gallant soldier.
His voice may be silent, but his message still speaks.
Until we meet again on the other side…
Shalom, Pastor. You have fought a good fight.

Thank you for being a good shepherd.
Today, I know God because you sacrificed your life for the Word of God.
In my entire life, I have never met a man like you.
You loved us all — each one of us was special to you.
You could feel our pain when we were broken, and you preached to comfort and encourage us.
I know you are now with Brother Branham and all the saints of the ages.
Soon, we will be with you again.
Shalom, sister Celebration

You played not just a Pastor role in my life, but also a father and a friend. You asked that I sit behind you when you preach, accompany you when you travel to go and preach and opened doors to me that you wouldn't do.
You never got tired of availing yourself during the darkest time of life. Never complained even when we called you in awkward early hours of the morning.
I was used to getting Saturday mornings phone calls from you asking me when am I coming to see you. A times, I'd try to make up excuses and but you'd catch me out.
I remember we planned what we were going to do when you return back to church. We discussed the suit you are gonna wear, the song Item that Quila and I will sing to usher you....... I believe God was planning your ushering in the 6th dimension.
At the hospital, you kept asking me and Quila when are we going home.....every few minutes you kept asking that question. This was after you were singing Izulu ikhaya lami and even so on our way to hospital.
God gave you a special gift. Your shoes are too big for just anyone just to fill.

*My Memory of Pastor Israel Nkodima: Reflections from Gaborone, Botswana*
Greetings to Pastor Nkodima’s Family, and Mamelodi Tabernacle in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
We received with heavy hearts and grief the news of the passing away of Pastor Israel Nkodima. If it were by our will, this notable Teacher of the the Life giving Message should have continued in the Land of the Living. However, God’s Will is even Mightier than collective Human Will.
On account of his contribution to our Spiritual Development in Botswana, I felt it was important to ‘Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour’, Romans 13:7. I hereby render my reflections of Pastor Nkodima as a way of honouring him.
Our memories are flooded with vivid unforgettable images and moments we encountered with here on earth. Between 2005 and 2008, Pastor Nkodima and his entourage frequently visited us in Botswana. It was an act of love and sacrifice on his part, his family and his assembly. May God reward you all for such gallant effort. During these Missionary Trips he frequently ministered in Molepolole, Gaborone, and Metsimotlhabe. Sometimes it was normal local assembly services, at times it was Special Combined Meetings, and once in a while it was a Convention.
In April 2006 he ordained me Pastor of Metsimotlhabe Tabernacle, Greater Gaborone Area. A year later he ordained Pastors of Molepolole and Gabane respectively. Indeed Pastor Nkodima got involved in Botswana at our critical stage of Spiritual Development, a defining moment in our history. With sound teaching, courage and shear determination he propelled the aforementioned three places to a state of Complete Order. He believed we could amount to something noteworthy for God’s Glory. What an inspiring faith and confidence. His last visit to Botswana was in 2009 and it was tremendous.
We cannot forget the sermons he preached here in Botswana like ‘The End of the Seventh Seal’, ‘Make me a Sanctuary’, ‘Beyond the Curtain of Time’, to mention but a few.
It was always a blessing to see his remarkable Teaching Ministry move the audience from their comfort zone into deeper zones of the ‘Revealed Word of the Day’. He taught the Seventh Angel’s Message distinctly to make sense to it. Much like Ezra the Teacher and Scribe of Zerubbabel’s Restoration days. It was always easy to note that this notable teacher was not just an avid reader or dedicated student of Malachi 4 but he had the Revelation of the Contents of Elijah’s Message. So profound was the impact of his teaching that he always left us a notch higher and yet craving for more. After attending his preaching service, one would feel like reading the Message and Bible more, praying more, seeking a closer walk with God and believing God for things thought impossible. What an enviable impact.
We shall forever be grateful for his contribution to our Spiritual Growth during a critical stage of Spiritual Journey. We shall surely miss this Amazing Member of the Five Fold Ministry whose teaching gift could make pictures with Words. A Teaching Ministry which made the Present Day Truth tangible and tactile through unforgettable pictorial mental illustrations. Furthermore, whether it was a Convention in Botswana or a Convention in Mosel Bay or a Convention in Mamelodi, a wedding in Thembisa, Pastor Nkodima’s delivery of the Gospel was always captivating and stirring. He taught the depth of Message with simplicity, for he was a simple man, easy to approach and interact with. He bore the offense of the cross with simplicity, with a smile and noticeable calmness.
May God comfort the Nkodima Family and the Mamelodi Tabernacle during this passing Phase of grief. May God bless you, see you through and keep you.

A Tribute to My Pastor, Shepherd, and Father in the Faith — Pastor Israel Nkodima There are voices in this world that do more than speak — they awaken the soul. Pastor Nkodima’s voice was one of them. Through him, God reminded me who I truly am. I was far away, a lost black sheep wandering in silence, but his message reached me — gentle, steady, and filled with truth. He reminded me that God and man are one — that the breath of God still lives within His children, no matter how far they’ve gone. Through his life and ministry, he didn’t just preach the Word — he became a living example of it. In his presence, I saw humility wrapped in strength, correction clothed in love, and revelation carried with grace. He made the mysteries of God feel personal and real, not distant or unreachable. He stood as a bridge between heaven and earth, showing us that to know God is to know ourselves — that redemption is not a distant hope, but a present reality. Because of his teaching, I found my way back — not only to the church, but to the God who had never stopped calling me. Today, I carry his words in my heart: “God and man are one.” That truth reshaped my life. It restored my identity, healed my faith, and even blessed my marriage — the very moment he officiated, I knew the hands that joined us carried the weight of divine love. Though he has gone to rest, his voice will never fade. It lives in every heart he touched, in every life he helped restore, and in the Word he lived so faithfully. I thank God for giving me a pastor like him — a man through whom I met myself again, and through whom I met God. Rest well, Pastor Nkodima. Your work is finished, but your message lives forever.

Our previous pastor, our captain, our shepherd:
You taught us to not fear death and underworld. You taught us the whole package of the Word without any compromise. Your teachings have given us the dynamics that will propel us into rapture. You served God and the Bride faithfully, You made God happy; and we'll meet you soon someday. 1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Our sincere condolences to the family and I dedicate these songs to you:
Sefela sa Sione 161, Tlong Re Yeng.
Third Exodus - We salute you a soldier of the cross.
Horace Thompson - I'll see you in the rapture.
Mamelodi Assembly Choir - in the land of fadeless day.
The Gaithers-I won't have to cross Jordan alone.

"He would preach with one leg aching".
It is true, You always fought to feed our theophanies. Thank You for serving the Bride in such a special way! You fought a good fight, ran Your race, kept the faith and You owe us nothing! Rest well my Dear One.
My heart bleeds to the fact that I'll never see You again on this side of eternity, but the promise of seeing You again soon in the Rapture speaks sweet peace to my soul. You were so precious to me, very precious...
I'll keep Your word in my heart till the end! I pray for a heart like Yours until God can say, I served Him well in my generation under Your leadership. I will always love You and I'll miss You immensely.
Please!, wait for me by the Eastern Gate, I'll meet You there!

I am sending spiritual hugs to my precious brother, Parson Israel Nkodima, who's now beyond the veil of time. On earth, you were a humble man of the Lord, a gallant soldier, teacher, daddy, doctor, and shepherd – a true blessing to many. Your life testified that God's word remains true. I recall your powerful sermons: The Mysticism, The Supernatural, The Rapture, Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed, Who is this Melchizedek, The Revelation of the Seven Seals, The Underworld, The battle of Armageddon; The New Commission; Gog and Magog, The River Euphrates, and The White Stone interpretation. Your teachings will forever impact our lives. Your legacy lives on through the lives you've touched. We who remain seek the continuation of this ministry, reaching out to the hearts of the black sheep in Africa (2 Kings 2:11 and Joshua 1:2). As we eagerly await the Rapture, may your labour in the Lord be rewarded. AMEN🙏🏿🤍

Our precious Pastoor, what a privilege it is to have been acquainted with such character, humility, leadership and love. You had an ability to make everyone who encountered you to have their own personalised special moment with you.
Today, we are the fruits of the ministry God gave you and nothing can take that away from us! You were a man who recognised who he is and all you wanted was for us to recognise who we are too.
You truly understood your mandate as our Pastor and gave us everything we require in this current time. We love you Pastor Israel Nkodima.

Condolences to the Nkodima family, the church in the globe and friends... We have lost our father in the Lord, someone who taught us faith and love...we are greatly saddened of his passing
November 7, 2025
With thanksgiving and praises to the Lord Jesus Christ, I know Pastor Israel was ready and willing to go beyond the river which he has crossed as a gallant soldier the Prophet said I do not wanna be a coward when I have to cross.
Glory to The Lord Jesus Christ, it shows and proves to us how this message is real, real, real and The Eternal Truth.
From the first time I hear your voice Pastor Israel, I knew this is pure Word, a minister of the Seven seals which I didn’t know and couldn’t understand but while listening to you more and more and getting back to the tapes I got the revealed Word.
How I desired to meet you on this side ! Just to shake your hand, my eternal brother…I will see you soon with Brother Branham because we can not stay longer in this pest house.
Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ !

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

We celebrate the life of Pastor Israel Nkodima, a man of stature and a preacher who inspired, motivated, and uplifted people wherever he went. He was a cherished treasure to our family in the church, and his impactful and powerful sermons will be dearly remembered. His beautiful heart, wonderful soul, and joyous spirit left an indelible mark on us.
Pastor Nkodima was a beacon of hope to our community, shedding light into the darkness wherever he went. Witnessing him lead a life of integrity and respect gave us hope for humanity, reminding us that we too can strive for greatness. He was an angel gifted to us by the heavens, and we are truly blessed to have lived under his teachings and guidance.
As it is written in Isaiah 41:10, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." May these words bring comfort and peace to all who mourn his passing.🤍

Memory Lane: In Loving Tribute to Pastor Israel Nkodima
The Emmanuel and Celina Kaunda Family in Malawi is deeply touched by the passing of our beloved pastor and friend, Pastor Israel Nkodima.
He fondly called us his friends — an honour we will always cherish. During our visits to his home, he shared heartfelt testimonies with us and faithfully prayed for our needs. We were also privileged to host him in our home in Lilongwe for a few days during Pastor Kuchingale’s son’s wedding in December 2022, when Pastor Kuchingale had many family visitors to attend to. Little did we know that would be Pastor Nkodima’s last physical visit to Malawi.
Our daughter, Ruth, and son-in-law, McJones, had the privilege of seeing him for the last time during their honeymoon visit to South Africa on 8th June 2025. For my wife and me, our final moment with him was through a WhatsApp video call kindly arranged by his daughter, Dodo, at Pastor Kuchingale’s house during the wedding of Pastor Kuchingale’s daughter on 3rd August 2025.
When he saw us on that call, his face brightened with joy, and he said words we will never forget:
“This year, I am coming to Malawi, and I will come to your house.”
Oh, Pastor! Though you have not physically made it back to Malawi, you are here with us in spirit. You remain present in our home through the lasting impact of the Word of God you so faithfully preached. The Message of our Prophet-Messenger, William Marion Branham, which you proclaimed with such conviction, continues to draw us closer to Christ — and one day, it will unite us with you eternally.
Rest in peace, dear Pastor and friend.
Your life and ministry remain a living testimony in our hearts.

We were saddened to hear about the passing of Ps Nkodima. He was such an energetic man of God, who lived selflessly for the Lord. May he rest in power and rise in glory.

Today, I celebrate the life of a true servant of God — a shepherd whose faith, wisdom, and compassion touched countless lives, including mine. Pastor, your words were a source of strength, your prayers a shield in times of trial, and your love for God an inspiration to all who knew you.
Your teaching was distinctive and of positive effect. You ran your race with grace, and your legacy of faith will continue to light our paths.
Rest In Eternal Peace..🙏
Condolences to the Family and Church at large

A Psalm of Life
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
What The Heart Of The Young Man Said To The Psalmist.
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,— act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
May God comfort the Nkodima family and Saints of Mamelodi Tabernacle, Rest in eternal peace Pastor you maybe gone in the flesh but you will never be forgotten Mfundisi.

In Loving Memory of Pastor Israel Nkodima
Pastor Israel Nkodima —
a faithful servant of God, a father in the faith,
and a man whose life has been a true reflection of divine grace and humility.
He journeyed through 81 years of grace,
and for 55 of those years, he stood steadfastly behind the pulpit,
preaching the Word of God with conviction, love, and unwavering faith.
Through every sermon, every prayer, and every act of kindness,
he sowed seeds of hope in the hearts of many.
He taught us to love, to serve, and to trust God in all things.
Today, we salute this gentle warrior of faith —
a shepherd who cared deeply for the flock of God,
a man who finished his race with joy, and who kept the faith until the very end.
We will miss him dearly — and indeed, we already do.
But even as we mourn, we rejoice in knowing that his rest is peaceful,
and his crown is sure.
May the God of all comfort strengthen his family and every one of us
as we gather to bid farewell to this precious servant of the Lord.
Rest in eternal peace, Pastor Nkodima.
Your work on earth is done, but your legacy will live forever in our hearts.
> “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your Lord.”
— Matthew 25:21

1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (KJV) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Rest in peace Pr Nkodima. Until that resurrection Morning. You shall greatly be missed but we know you are better off there than you were here.

Typing this feels so final…
Final in the sense that I won’t be seeing you again in this life.
I remember how, whenever I was leaving for varsity or returning home for the holidays, I would stop by your office on Sunday to let you know. You would always wish me well with such warmth and sincerity.
Your presence was magnetic, gentle, yet powerful and carried a sense of God’s peace. Just being near you made one feel the presence of God.
I will always treasure our last meal together during your final months. It will forever remain close to my heart.
You were, and still are, deeply loved, my Pastor.
This is not “goodbye,” but rather “until we meet again.”

Onward Christian Soldier. I Salute you GENERAL Pastor Nkodima, I remember you in 2006 in Kenton on Sea when your ministry made a BLAST in Eastern Cape. How God condescended into man from Eternity. My heart's burning as if it was yesterday.
November 6, 2025
Oh Mkulu, I have so many fond memories of you! I vividly remember how many times I spent in the upperoom as we’d call it. You were really one of a kind..a father to many and truly genuine to the core. You taught me the foundations of faith and the fear of the Lord which I carried with me till this day, you continued to ask about us even after we left.
You're resting now, finally beholding what you’ve been preaching about for yours on end! Till we meet again Mkhulu.
Condolences to the family and the whole church at large.

Je garde de toi le souvenir d'un fils de Dieu adopté, très cher Révérend Israël Nkodima.
J'ai fait une expérience mémorable avec toi lors de ton visite en République Démocratique du Congo en 2011, où je faisais office d'interprète à vos côtés, et nous avons effectué un voyage missionnaire dans le Kongo Central.
La profondeur de l'inspiration qui vous a habité a eu une influence particulière et surdimensionnée dans ma vie, et je vous ai toujours appelé l'Apôtre du Septième Sceau.
Mon cœur en lambeaux est paradoxalement rempli d'espoir de te retrouver un de ces quatre matins aux pieds du Seigneur.
Que ton âme repose en paix, cher patriarche, et puisse ton souvenir demeurer à jamais.
Nous t'aimons, Pasteur Israël Nkodima ❤️.

We are here today with heavy hearts, but full of hope, to celebrate the life and ministry of our beloved pastor and brother Israel Nkodima. We feel the pain of separation, but we know that this is not the pain of a definitive loss. It is the pain of longing, for he achieved the promise he always preached. He was not only faithful to Christ but also to us as brothers in Christ. As Saint Paul says in
2 Timothy 4:7-8:
7 - I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 - Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever, I met Pastor Israel Nkodima through my father and pastor Pedro Charles de Dondo, who in turn has already left for glory. And he was a man who helped the Tabernacle of Dondo and the Ministry, such as purchasing beams and a roof to cover the Tabernacle and other matters in the ministry. I say in the name of my father and brothers, may God console the tabernacle and the family of Pastor Nkodima, may His soul rest in eternal peace. You have certainly already won your battle

Shalom,
I thank God that l I came to know Pastor I. Mkodima through Pastor Dixon Kandoje in 2011. Then in 2012 there was a convention in Lilongwe stadium where he Dedicated me to the service in the message preached by The Prophet William Marrion Branham. Later in 2021 I dreamt him running in a highway where he arrived and there was a cloud of Angels, and Pastor Isearl telling me in great inspiration that this is the resting place. That is the most spiritual moment ihad with him. I know and 0without any contradiction or conserves he is resting and sheltered in the Arms of God of God.
Amen

My Pastor, My Elder, My Absolute. I believe we’re Gods favoured to be ordained to be part of your ministry. Pastoring us from Theophany to Theophany is nothing else but Predestination. We love and appreciate you, your presence will always be felt in our lives. We are because you are. I personally wouldn’t have been amounted to anything if you didn’t bring me close and raised me like your son. Our lives are a testimony because of your teachings, love and guidance. You’ve lived a full life and we believe this is Gods will, but this is by far the biggest loss/ pain I’ve ever endured. You’ve prepared us and the only way to honour you is to live the word and manifest what you’ve imparted in us. In 2017 you’ve uttered very special words I hold dear to my heart and each day that Promise vindicates itself in my life. You sir have lived a full life, purpose fulfilled and Godliness simplified in plain view. The mighty God unveiled before us.

I’m deeply thankful to have had you as my pastor and for taking care of our souls. It has been a true blessing to be under your shepherding — guiding us with wisdom, love, and unwavering devotion to the Bride of Christ.
You faithfully nourished us with manna from heaven, always delivering the Word in due season, the Word from beyond time. Through your teachings, we were spiritually fed, strengthened, and prepared for the coming of the Lord.
As the day of the Lord draws near, we hold fast to the hope of meeting again in the rapture. Until then, we will carry thr message forward. And when you see the saints in the sixth dimension, tell them: we are coming.
Thank you for preparing us for this glorious day. The messages you preached — divinely inspired and heaven-sent — will continue to live in our hearts and guide our walk with Christ. Amen

You've surely fought a good fight of FAITH, and have gallantly finished your course!
I had never anticipated nor envisioned this day dawning on us!
Nevertheless, it seems like you've been preparing us for such a time like this..
Homegoing songs have constantly been your theme, especially over the recent years.. "Ho lokile - Ho lokile" "Ke Moeti ke le Tseleng".. "Even So, Come Lord Jesus".. and many more..
Surely, we shall learn to say "ALL IS WELL" - with this comfort and assurance in hearts, that you are in a Place of Perfect Rest; and we shall soon be reunited with you, never to part again!
Like Paul of old, your life fully portrayed "For me to live is CHRIST; but to die is GAIN"
You have fully committed and dedicated your entire life, to diligently and faithfully serve the LORD.
We are truly blessed to be a part of the MINISTRY God has ORDAINED and entrusted you with; and to witness all that the LORD was pleased to MANIFEST through you - For edifying and perfecting His Bride worldwide.
May the Lord grant us His grace and mercy -help us faithfully keep pressing on, and live up to the WORD Standard you've courageously and unreservedly preached, against the odds!
THANK YOU for faithfully and sacrificially being the Bishop and Shepherd of our souls;
THANK YOU for graciously caring and loving us unconditionally - as the Flock of your pasture, and jewels of your Crown.
You've surely expressed nothing but Christ-like love!
No amount of words can wholly describe and honour the manner of Man you are.
UNTIL THEN.. Rest in your Theophany our precious, beloved Pastor.

Day onez then, Day onez today, Day onez forever.
A true living embodiment of Jesus Christ. Jesus (the man, the tabernacle, “he seemed ordinary…”) and Christ (the Anointing, Theophany, Logos, The fullness of the WORD, Creative Attribute, Gene of God) because as it was then so it is today. No one could display what it means to be a shepherd in this day apart from thee sir.
What a teaching ministry, just like Jesus Christ. Never withholding but wholeheartedly preaching and teaching unto us The Word and as you asked us, “where else do you hear of such, where else can you find such preaching?”, that wasn’t asked boastfully or arrogantly but asked truthfully and with Godly fear.
Not only do we understand the cry of Peter but now realise that to do the works of God is to believe thee for you’re sent from God and that is to do the works of God, John 6:28-29. Not only that but as Mary received from the Angel, the prophet’s mother testifying that the pillar of fire hovered above his head as a baby so did your mother harken unto the prophet’s theophany which told her to birth you into this world for a divine purpose.
A true teacher like yourself taught us that a teacher shouldn’t withhold and fear that the student will become greater than the teacher but rather the student to know its position just as a sheep knows its position as it receives from its shepherd.
We even feel like the disciples as they asked Jesus why did He speak in parables unto the multitude but to them He revealed the mysteries in the evening time just like God and Adam communed in the cool of the evening (Glory be to God).
Your great work in the country and especially in the jungles of Africa is as significant and even greater than the work of The Lord Jesus Christ in Samaria because you’ve manifested John 14:12. Samaria being grossly undesirable, just like the jungles of Africa, your ministry came for the predestinated seed just like the Samaritan women and that truly makes you a labourer of the plenteous harvest.
You’ve shown us the truth of worship. As worship began in heaven despite the great battle and two thirds of heaven being cast out with lucifer, God working through you means you’ve taken us from the third bible (actual written book) to the second bible which is the pyramid (especially last year with the Whitestone Interpretation) and left us at the original/ first bible which is the Zodiac for us (back part of God) to complete true worship in heaven. As The First Bible was one of the last sermons you preached we now know that the seventh man from Adam to the seventh man from Paul, both were responsible for the Pyramid - As Enoch measured it so did Malachi 4 - Rev 21:16.
The Zodiac - The First Bible - The original bible - our original existence because we are headed there hence Job 38:7
We are that City and its Light. For its light is likened to the stars in the zodiac - it’s The Word in us - Glory of the Bride shining bright as He does.
Thank you Sir, can’t wait for your book to come out, the Lord willing. “On the other side Jordan, In the sweet fields of Eden, Where the tree of life is blooming, This is rest for me.” ❤️🫂

Glory to God for a Life of Christ Jesus lived in flesh through His servant, Pastor Israel Nkodima. Dedza Church in Malawi was blessed with his presence and unadulterated Message of the Hour.
I will meet you, Pastor Israel Nkodima, in the rapture. Rest in peace in your theophany, which you bypassed,
You have fought a good fight of faith and faithfully finished the course. God be praised for your promotion to Glory. You are young again. I admire.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST, OUR LIVING GOD, BE GLORIFIED AND HONOURED! Till we meet again at Jesus' Feet! AMEN!
Heartfelt condolences to his wife, family and all Mamelodi saints. Your Pastor is not dead but he is alive. He has only changed dimensions from earth to Glory, from time to Eternity, from mortal to immortality, and from his corruptible body into his theophany. Very soon his corruptible body will put on incorruption and we all will meet him, and together with him we will meet the Lord JJesus Christ n the sky in our glorified bodies for the Marriage Supper. Be comforted with these words. The Church in Dedza and I are with you in this hard time. God bless you all.

Pastor, your dedication knew no boundaries. You never had the luxury of being 'off duty' or punching out at 5 o'clock. Your days were filled with the needs of others, often at the cost of your own. We can only imagine the sleepless nights spent on your knees, praying fervently for the church, we don't know the oppositions you faced, and the precious moments you missed with your family to minister to the church. Though we couldn't carry your burden, we prayed for you, and those prayers were filled with gratitude for your selfless service.
Thank you for everything you've done for us Ancient one. May your precious soul rest in eternal peace. I will miss you dearly.

A Tribute to My Precious Pastor
In every season of life, through every joy and trial, you've stood as a shepherd to our souls. Your unwavering faith, gentle spirit, and powerful preaching have shaped not just a congregation, but a community of believers who walk boldly in the light of Christ.
The banner of Christ, held up high with humility and courage.
You’ve poured out your life in service, never seeking applause, only God’s approval.
Your prayers have lifted burdens, your counsel has brought clarity, and your presence has brought peace.
You preached with conviction, taught with wisdom, and lived with integrity.
You’ve taught us that grace is not just a doctrine - it’s a way of life.
You’ve reminded us that the church is not a building, but a body.
“And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” — Jeremiah 3:15
You’ve built more than sermons - you’ve built lives.
You’ve planted seeds of faith that will bloom for generations.
Your legacy is written in the hearts of those you’ve led, loved, and lifted.
A General of the 7th Seal!
We Salute YOU ✝️

The composition “UnguMalusi Wami” is a piece that came to me when I realised who you really are and what you are to me. “You’re the ancient ruler of the day and night”
The rapturing faith is in us as you’ve prepared us for the Rapture Without Death.
You have migrated to prepare for us, we can’t wait to meet you again in the sky.
We love you Pastor Israel Nkodima

"Blessed be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love"
What a man ...what a life!!! what a Mkhulu we had !!!!
Pastor Israel Nkodima,Your impact in my life will forever be etched in my heart.I met you when i was 17 and parted ways when i was 32 but i can boldly declare that our father-daughter relationship was like that of David and Jonathan..our souls were knit together...a bond that transcended time and distance.You often taught that "when you know a brother by revelation, you'll never separate from him," and that's exactly what I experienced with you. Though we weren't physically together, our spiritual connection remained strong. God reflected His favor upon my life through your mentorship and prayers. Your impact on me is a testament to the power of spiritual fatherhood .Your passing left a void..but your legacy lives on.In your presence I knew eternity, now in your absence I feel it more.
Till we meet again Mkhulu
....in Beulah land

My deepest condolences to the Nkodima family and church. We all heart broken, we lose but Heaven gains, may God comfort us all with His everlasting Love.
