FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MATRIARCH


A Message from The Matriarch Elnette Veronica Edwards

To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas

Beloved Children of The Mystical Order Ministries,

It is with a heart full of love and maternal warmth that I greet you in this blessed season of Christmas. As we gather to celebrate the birth of our precious Saviour, Jesus Christ, I extend to each of you my sincerest wishes for a joyous, peaceful, and prosperous holiday season. May the light of Christ illuminate your path and fill your hearts with divine contentment.

Christmas is a season that touches the deepest places of our souls, reminding us of God's tender love and His desire to dwell intimately with His children. When the baby Jesus was laid in that manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, heaven's glory was revealed in the most humble circumstances. This beautiful paradox teaches us that Christ does not require grand settings or elaborate preparations—He simply desires a willing heart where He can reign as Lord.

My dear family, as your Matriarch, I lovingly encourage you to make Christ the true center of your life this Christmas and beyond. In our homes, amidst the decorations and festivities, let us ensure that Jesus occupies the place of highest honour. Teach your children about His birth with passion and reverence. Share the Gospel story with those who have not yet experienced the transforming power of His love. Let your celebrations be marked not by excess and materialism, but by gratitude, generosity, and spiritual abundance.

Making Christ the center means allowing His presence to permeate every room of your home and every chamber of your heart. It means beginning each day with prayer and thanksgiving, acknowledging that every good and perfect gift comes from Him. It means treating your family members with the same grace and patience that Christ extends to us. It means being a peacemaker in times of conflict and a source of encouragement to those who are weary.

As women and mothers within our ministry, we carry a special responsibility to nurture faith in our families and communities. Just as Mary treasured and pondered the miraculous events surrounding Jesus' birth, we too must be keepers of the faith, passing down the precious truths of the Gospel to the next generation. Our homes should be sanctuaries where Christ's love is tangibly felt, and His teachings are lived out daily.

This Christmas, I also urge you to extend compassion to those who are struggling. Remember the widows, the orphans, the lonely, and the brokenhearted. Invite someone to share your table. Offer a listening ear to those who need comfort. Give generously to those in need. In doing so, you become the hands and feet of Jesus, demonstrating His love in practical ways.

May your Christmas be filled with divine prosperity—not merely material wealth, but the richness of God's presence, the abundance of His peace, and the overflow of His joy. May you experience renewed faith, strengthened relationships, and a deeper intimacy with the One who was born to save us all.

With Motherly Love and Blessings,

The Matriarch Elnette Veronica Edwards

FROM THE DESK OF THE QUEEN ABBESS

A Message from The Queen Abbess Dr. Patriarch Hackshaw To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas Beloved Members of The Mystical Order Ministries, I greet you with profound joy and spiritual affection as we enter into this sacred season of Christmas. It is my privilege and honour to extend to you my warmest wishes for a law-abiding, peaceful, and joyous holiday season. May the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ bring renewed hope, divine blessing, and transformative grace into every aspect of your lives. Christmas commemorates the most pivotal moment in human history—when the eternal Son of God humbled Himself and entered our world as a helpless infant. This divine condescension reveals the heart of our God: a heart that loves deeply, forgives completely, and desires an intimate relationship with each of His children. The birth of Christ was not merely a religious event; heaven declared that God has not abandoned humanity but has come to dwell a...

THE ETERNAL WALK

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg The journey of faith is not limited to the span of our earthly years—it is a walk that stretches into eternity. For those who belong to the Lord, life is more than a fleeting moment; it is the beginning of an everlasting union with God. Our walk with Him is both present and eternal. From the beginning, God has desired fellowship with man.  “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away”  (Genesis 5:24). Enoch’s life reminds us that walking with God is not bound by earthly limitations but leads to eternal fellowship with Him. Jesus confirms this promise of eternal companionship, declaring:  “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die”  (John 11:25–26). Our walk continues beyond death, for in Christ we have eternal life. Paul describes this journey beautifully:  “For we walk by faith, not by ...

THE POWER OF GRATITUDE

  HH, Patriarch Sir Godfrey Children of the Faith, Gratitude is the key that unlocks the fullness of God’s blessings. A thankful heart turns what we have into enough and more. It recognizes God’s hand in every circumstance and magnifies His goodness beyond measure. Gratitude is not merely a response to blessings received but a lifestyle that colours our perspective and strengthens our faith. In The Mystical Order, let us cultivate a spirit of thanksgiving in every season. When trials come, let gratitude be the lens through which we view them—as tools for growth and deeper reliance on God. When blessings abound, may our hearts overflow in praise and generosity. A thankful heart brings joy and peace, binds us together in humility, and stands as a testimony to the world of God’s faithfulness. Let us give thanks in all things, knowing that this is God’s will for us in Christ Jesus. Today, renew your commitment to gratitude. Let your prayers be filled with thanksgiving and your lips wit...
