Mesele received Christ in 1993 because of his sister’s prayer and influence from his Christian peers. Consequently, Mesele’s father tried to force him to renounce his faith, but God enabled Mesele to stand strong. A powerful moment of Jesus’ work in the life of Mesele’s ministry to his family came when Mesele’s older brother became “demon possessed and lame”. His father tried all possible solutions for his son’s healing, but no solution brought resolution to his son’s possession. This was Mesele’s opportunity to ask his father if he could pray for his brother and his father gave permission. Mesele’s prayers for his brother miraculously healed his brother and subsequently brought conviction on Mesele’s family, including the surrounding community about the power
of Jesus. This specifically resulted in his mother’s conversion to Christianity. This was a big encouragement to Mesele and fueled the fire of his faith to share the gospel of Christ with everyone everywhere! Scripture speaks to Mesele’s encouragement in Malachi 4:2 “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.”
