Historical BackgroundIn the year of Our Lord, 2011, Mbulelo Bikwani received the word of the Lord to start Isiseko Family Institute. Supported by his wife Nombulelo Bikwani they both birthed this institute. At a retreat held over a week-end at Wortelgat, near Stanford, in June 2011, the idea of a family institute was received and endorsed by all who participated in that retreat. Historians will record that "the rest is history". Not us. In the spirit of Joel, we shall tell it to our sons and daughters and let our sons and daughters tell their sons and daughters, and their sons and daughters the next generation. Statistical evidence overwhelmingly indicates that the family in our society is under tremendous pressure and attack by the evil one. Yet we know like we know that the family is an institution created by God. Family and morality are the very fibre of order for society. When family order disintegrates, then social order also disintegrates. We can lose all as David did in 1 Samuel 30:8, when the Lord gave him confirmation that he should, "pursue, overtake and recover all". We, as believers, have a mandate, the authority to pursue the enemy, overtake and recover all he has stolen from us as individuals, families and as communities.
