GREETINGS FOR THE NEW YEAR

A Message from The Matriarch Elnette Veronica Edwards

To The Mystical Order Ministries: A Blessed and Prosperous 2026 – A Call to Renew Your Faith and Love for the Work of the Lord

My Dearly Beloved Children of The Mystical Order Ministries,

From my desk and from the depths of my heart, I reach out to embrace each of you with motherly affection and spiritual warmth as we welcome the arrival of 2026. It is with great joy and tender care that I extend to you my sincerest wishes for a year abundantly blessed by God’s grace, richly prosperous in all good things, and marked by deeper intimacy with our precious Saviour, Jesus Christ.

As your Matriarch, I have watched with pride as our spiritual family has weathered storms, celebrated victories, and grown in faith throughout the past year. Now, as we stand at the threshold of a new beginning, I lovingly call each of you to a season of profound renewal—a renewal of faith that has grown cold, a rekindling of love that may have dimmed, and a recommitment to the sacred work of the Lord that must always remain our highest priority.

Renewing your faith in 2026 begins with returning to your first love. Do you remember when you first encountered Christ? Do you recall the joy that flooded your soul when you understood that you were forgiven, accepted, and beloved by God? That same freshness, that same passion, that same wonder is available to you today. Faith is not meant to become routine or mechanical. It should burn brightly within us, motivating every decision and illuminating every path we take. This year, I encourage you to fall in love with Jesus all over again. Spend time in His presence. Talk to Him as you would your dearest friend. Allow His Word to become living and active in your daily life.

But renewed faith must also translate into renewed love for the work of the Lord. My dear ones, we are living in urgent times. There are souls to be won, hearts to be healed, and lives to be transformed by the Gospel. The work of the Lord is not reserved for pastors and clergy alone—it is the sacred responsibility of every believer. Whether you serve in the church kitchen, visit the sick, teach children, sing in the choir, or simply offer a kind word to someone in need, you are participating in Kingdom work. Never underestimate the power of your contribution.

I particularly speak to the women and mothers in our ministry. You are the heartbeat of our homes and the spiritual foundations of our families. Your prayers have power. Your faith shapes generations. Your love reflects the very character of God. As you renew your commitment to the Lord’s work, begin in your own household. Nurture faith in your children. Pray fervently for your family. Create an atmosphere of worship and love in your home. From there, your influence will extend into the church and the wider community.

This year, let us also renew our love for one another. The Lord’s work is accomplished most effectively when we labour together in unity, supporting one another, encouraging one another, and bearing one another’s burdens. Let us be a family marked by genuine love, not superficial politeness. Let us celebrate each other’s victories and comfort each other in times of sorrow.

May 2026 bring you divine health, abundant provision, peaceful homes, and overflowing joy. May your faith be strengthened, your love deepened, and your service multiplied. Walk boldly into this new year knowing that you are loved, valued, and called to greatness in God’s Kingdom.

With Motherly Love and Blessings,

The Matriarch Elnette Veronica Edwards
