Just days before her prayer session, which was scheduled to take place on 17 May 2025, Gogo Skhotheni has decided to postpone it.

Gogo Skhotheni moves her prayer session

Former sangoma Gogo Skhotheni said she received an overwhelming number of people who signed up for her programme. Upon announcing the session, Skhotheni said she received close to 400 sign-ups from people.

Due to the growing number of people, Skhotheni has revealed that she would like to embark on a prayer and fasting journey to gain more spiritual clarity.

"I would like to postpone the prayer session on the 17th. I did not expect for to be so many. As it stands, there are 389 people. For me, that is a big number. I would like the holy spirit to lead us in the right direction. I was not ready for that number. Please allow me to dwell deep in prayer and fasting before I can pray for so many people."

Gogo Skhotheni says she wants to be strong

The postponement has allowed more time for people to sign up for the session. Skhotheni is hopeful that by the time she is ready, more than 500 people will join the seven-hour prayer session.

"There are still people we have not answered. I can see that we will be sitting at 500 people at the end," she revealed.

Skhotheni further said: "Please wait for me to be spiritually fit and strong, and then we will have the session. I am sorry for those who are disappointed, as there were people who came from far. Please forgive me, this is not something we should take lightly."

Briefly News got some insights on the power of prayer and fasting from Pastor Gwala, a youth pastor at The Voice Of The Kingdom Ministries.

"Fasting is necessary for Christians to get closer to God. It instils discipline because during the period, we also pray," Gwala said. He emphasised the importance of being very clear about your Goals and the things you want out of fasting.

"At our church, we encourage fasting at the beginning of the year as a way to get clear guidance from the Holy Spirit on the year ahead. Our routine is simple; we break the fast at 12 pm, and it begins at 6 pm on the same day. During the fast, only liquids can be consumed."
