COMPLETE RESTORATION OF POLICE SERVICE THROUGH PRAYER

By Crime Watch | 2024-08-24

The National Commissioner of Police – Vusie Manoma Masango believes in the complete restoration of the Royal Eswatini Police Service as a law enforcement agency through heavenly intervention.

Masango revealed this during a thanksgiving prayer service for a successful Police Day celebration held at the Police Academy last week Wednesday. He stressed the importance of giving thanks to the Almighty God for a perfect Police Day, quoting the scripture from Luke 17, whereby the only leper who went back to Christ was completely restored.

“We are praying for the complete restoration of the police organisation,” he said.
The police chief stated that the thanksgiving service a completion of a sequence of prayer services was that preceded the Police Day celebrations.

He recognised and appreciated the legacy and vision of the then acting national commissioner for seeking divine intervention for a successful Police Day. He expressed sincere gratitude to all the men of the clergy who were responsible for sharing the Word of God during the services.

The national commissioner noted that the policing mandate demands that officers be guided by the Almighty God and not rely on human intelligence in the performance of duty. He said divine intervention is important because police cannot successfully combat crime on their own accord.

He said police officers need to individually and collectively seek the Lord’s intervention and guidance in the execution of the policing mandate.

Masango noted that praying throughout the year could be the key to ensuring that peace and tranquility prevails in the country. He therefore tasked regional commissioners and chaplains to ensure that prayers services and revivals to be attended by the police executive are rolled out to all the regions and held throughout the year.

He emphasised that this should be done in consonance and collaboration with local authorities and church dominations.

The national commissioner further applauded the hard work and determination of all officers who were involved in the preparations, making and execution of the historic Police Day. He revealed that Their Majesties were overly impressed by the various parade displays including the drill, children platoon, motorbikes, karate and other special performances.

Speaking as a guest pastor, Apostle Hertform Xaba of the Christ Cares Kingdom Ambassadors, noted that this year’s Police Day commemoration was particularly a cut above the rest.

During his sermon which was anchored on Psalms, Xaba emphasized the importance of those in authority to remain humble before the Lord in order to receive divine protection. He further urged all officers to continue executing their noble mandate with love and dedication.
