HH, Patriarch Sir Godfrey
Beloved members of The Mystical Order Ministries,
Grace, mercy, and peace be with you always. As your Patriarch, I greet you in the wonderful name of our Lord and Saviour, who came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Service, my beloved, is at the very heart of our calling. Every position, every title, every blessing we hold is given not for self-exaltation but for the building up of God’s kingdom through love and humility.
In a world that often glorifies power, position, and recognition, the Church must stand as a living testimony of a different way. The greatest among us must become the servant of all. True greatness is not found in commanding others but in washing their feet, lifting burdens, and ministering with compassion. Service that flows from love is not a duty—it is an act of worship. When we serve in love, we mirror the heart of Christ Himself.
Humility is the soil in which love can take root. Without humility, service becomes performance; with humility, it becomes grace. The one who serves with a humble heart looks not for praise from men but the approval of God. The Lord delights in those who lower themselves for the sake of others. Each act of kindness, each word of encouragement, each unseen labour performed in quiet faithfulness is written in heaven’s record.
Members of The Mystical Order, let us therefore renew our commitment to serve one another with genuine love. Whether you are a Bishop, Sister, or Deacon, never forget that your highest honour is found in service. When you visit the sick, comfort the weary, feed the hungry, or pray for the fallen, you reveal Christ to the world. The love you sow in humility will return to you in divine favour and undying peace.
Do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season you shall reap if you faint not. Let every task—whether great or small—be done as unto the Lord. Even when gratitude is absent and recognition unseen, God sees and rewards faithfulness in His perfect time.
My prayer today is that your service may be rooted in love that never fails, guided by humility that never seeks its own, and strengthened by a spirit that never tires of doing good. May this Order continue to be known not only for its faith and structure but for its tender-hearted service to all.
With blessings and love,
The Patriarch
