Where is the Ark?

Bishop Mmusi raises a profound question: Where is the Ark of God among us? Drawing from 1 Samuel 4:12-18, he asks us to consider where the Holy Spirit is, where the fear of God is in our churches today, and who is truly guiding us.
As we witness gossip spreading, even from the mouths of believers, or hear a child of God speaking against their pastors or fellow members, it’s clear that we must examine ourselves. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit; we are the church. Yet, by our actions, what kind of temple have we become?
When Eli, the priest, heard that God’s presence had departed from Israel, the weight of this loss caused him to collapse and die. In light of this, Bishop Mmusi urges us to reflect deeply: Are we aware of the presence of God in our lives and churches, and do we live in a way that honors and preserves it?
