Welcome to this very special prayer service today.
I did say yesterday that I was going to say something about what's going on in South Africa. I want to save you from trouble cos sometimes men don't understand what's pushing them and how easily they could go over the cliff.
Satan doesn't love peace. He is not one to give peace. He doesn't want you to have peace or prosperity; You have to know that.
In Rev 6, the Bible opens for us these 4 horsemen in the last days and the judgement that will come on this world. .The first one is riding on a white hors.e
REV 6: 1-
Killings followed the one that was given power to take peace from the earth and what followed were killings.
Several years ago under Pres. Shehu Shagari in Nigeria, the people came to the conclusion that their young people weren't getting good jobs. They had sudden economic problems after they had been prosperous for a few years. and they decided that some other Africans who had come to Nigeria during the years of economic prosperity (they had fled their countries during economic hardship), they concluded the reason they were having difficulties was because of these immigrants in their country especially Ghanaians.
They insisted that all Ghanaians must leave their country. And the President announced same.
The trouble with such things is when those in the streets decide they have the power to execute Judgement because the others are illegals. What a sight it was back in those years! Did things change? NO!
They were definitely not enough to cause a dent in the economy but they were the scape goats. They were sent home in pain.
When such things happen, you can't distinguish in the street between the one who is legally there and the one that is not legally there.
Such decisions should not be left to those who are angry. Leave it to the government .
If you want to protest, protest to the government. You cannot take the law into your hands and tell them to leave. That's as illegal as their illegal migration.
Imagine that they resist in self defence; one little spark can lead to terrible devastation.
If you are not happy with the immigrants in your country, protest to the government. They allow protests. It's not appropriate for you to give an ultimatum to them.
That's assuming that you are only upset with those who came in illegally. The trouble doesn't end there.
Xenophobia comes from two Greek words.
Xenos: A stranger/ foreigner
Phobos: Fear.
The fear that you will fail because of strangers taking over your economy, the fear that they are harmful, that their crimes are worse than your crimes.
And that fear doesn't make you run away from them but attack them.
That's why you can be accused of Xenophobia/ Afrophobia.
You are walking a dangerous path.
i'd like to remind you that the case with Ghana was a very easy one because it was not too long ago but it was bad.
Imagine of that goes on throughout Africa.
But it can get worse and get to Genocide. Ask yourself what happened to Rwanda in the early 1990s. These where people that lived together with the same culture.
Their colonial masters helped make some differences between them telling them that the tootsies, Cattle herders, were more important than the Hutus, the farmers.
The colonial masters had a divide and rule method of government. The Germans and Belgians. They projected the tootsies but after the independence the Hutus took over and marginalized the tootsies.
The day came when their Hutu president was killed in a plane crash with the Buridnaian president and they blamed the tootsies for it. They started killing them. Before long more than 800,000 people had been killed. It spiralled down very quickly.
Yugoslavia: The largest country in the world split into 7 different countries. Remember the Boston wars.
Dark History.
it happens very easily that's why I'm warning you.
Those telling you that on the 30th of June they are going to drive out the illegals, it is illegal. Every God fearing person should refuse to follow those foolish instructions.
It's improper.
A MOB CANNOT CREATE PEACE.
Let the government do its job.
You put the government in place. They are your representatives. Don't destroy your own country while you are thinking you are trying to save it from these immigrants.
John F Kennedy said in his inaugural speech: "Those who foolishly want to claim power by riding the tiger will find themselves inside."
A mob is difficult to control.
A mob is as bad as fire.
There are 3 terrible forces in the world that are difficult to control. Flood, fire and a human Mob.
They get out of control. Any of these three can destroy a whole city and country. And they always start from a point: Always Unintended.
Jungle Justice is not Okay.
Even when you catch a thief, don't start injuring him. Take him to the law.
That's what you do in a lawful society.
You in SA prove yourself to be educated, Distinguished and excellent
(Documentary: The weaponization of Xenophobia)
We talk a lot about Hitlers Holocaust.
They started out by blaming the Jews for their economic word. Those who were left were in trouble and it led to the Holocaust.
The government has power to protect all people in their country. Even criminals have to be protected and brought to justice.
There are no Good immigrants and Bad immigrants. They are just people
People night act badly but then that's why you have the laws.
SA, you must reverse the plan to molest, manhandle or mistreat anyone on the 30th June. All wise and understanding people should not join such rampage.
I pray for you that God will give you wisdom to act wisely in these challenging times and not to accept foolish solutions for real problems.
Understdn that the peace you have enjoyed so far can increase. You can have more peace or you can destroy it.
To the Christians in SA, Pray for the peace of SA. Don't get involved in these Satanic activities.
It's Satan that leads people to attack others and destroy their lives. Let God guide your heart. There is a right way to deal with a problem and there is a wrong way. I pray you do it the right way and make South Africa even greater.
And to the other Africans countries, there is no reason to retaliate. There can be a discussion. Don't make Africa a terrible place. Make it a place of peace when you can
God's plan for this second half of the year is to have peace in all the nations of the world
May June 30 be a day of peace not a day of war.
God does give peace.
There are forces of evil that take away peace (Rev 6:4). But God can and wants to give peace and prosperity.
It's very important that you recognize your role in the scheme of things.
Walk in line with God's plans.
(Prayer for the nations, for South Africa and other African Countries)
