By Sitha Maliwa:
Randburg was not the same after what unfolded at Rhema Bible Church. What began as a summit quickly transformed into a spiritual eruption – where worship, conviction, and destiny collided in one unforgettable atmosphere.
The What’s Your Next Summit (Gauteng Edition), hosted by Mmuso Worship, the music ministry of Mmuso Church, was more than an event. It became a defining encounter for a generation standing at the crossroads of identity and purpose. Under the piercing theme “Unlikely Candidate”, the message thundered through the hall: God does not wait for perfection – He calls the willing.
Fear was confronted. Doubt was dismantled. And in its place, something far more powerful rose – bold surrender.
One after another, voices broke in prayer. Tears flowed without hesitation. For many, it was not just inspiration – it was transformation. First-time commitments to faith were made in silence and in sobs, while others rededicated their lives with a fire that refused to be contained. The summit did not entertain – it awakened.
But the night had only begun.
As darkness settled, the atmosphere shifted into something electric. The stage became an altar as Mmuso Worship launched their live album, The Holy One (Live at Heartfelt Arena, December 2025), a project already echoing far beyond its release.
From the very first sound of “Zion”, the room ignited. The song – ready nearing three million streams – felt less like a performance and more like a declaration. Then came “Oluwa”, a vibrant praise anthem rooted in Yoruba expression, shaking the room with unrestrained joy.
The worship deepened as Xoli Mncwango and Yanga Sobetwa stepped forward, delivering a hauntingly beautiful rendition of “You Are The One”. The audience responded as one body – hands lifted, voices breaking, hearts laid bare.
Then came silence… and reverence.
A tender performance of “I Need Thee” unfolded into a flowing medley of timeless worship songs, pulling the room into deep stillness before heaven. It was no longer a concert. It was an encounter.
The weight of legacy then entered the stage as Janine Price and Bishop Benjamin Dube joined in a moment that felt almost eternal. Their rendition of “Ngiyakuthanda” opened a gateway into heritage worship, before Bishop Dube carried the room through a stirring medley of “No Foreign God,” “Jehova Is Your Name,” and “El Shaddai, Adonai.” The atmosphere thickened with reverence -ancient songs meeting a new generation’s hunger.
Mmuso Worship continued to minister with selections from The Holy One, each song reinforcing the message of surrender, identity, and divine trust. And when “Jeso O Ntekane” closed the night, it felt less like an ending and more like a seal – something written into the spirit of everyone present.
Since its release just two months ago, The Holy One has continued to rise, resonating far beyond streams and stages. It has become a living testimony – bridging sound and spirit, worship and encounter.
Ultimately, the summit proved one thing without doubt: this was not just a gathering of believers. It was a generation being summoned. And as the journey continued to Durban on 3 May 2026, the message remained clear -purpose is calling, and heaven is still speaking. – @NewsSA_Online
