Nkosinathi Ngulube's comment on 2014-10-31 20:45:10:

This is how a perfect servant of the King of kings ought to be.He she is summoned anytime, does not complain but still presents himself before God to serve.a servant of God does not resemble a worker who starts a job at 8am to 5pm, but is always available.
