A reminder for
today
These things I have
spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
Julius Malema is the leader of a political party called the
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) here in South Africa. Now the name of their
party is already a contradiction to what they say and stand for. Malema and his
followers are the people that sings “Kill the boer, kill the farmer”. Boer means
farmer and is a word that is commonly used for white Afrikaans speaking South Africans.
In an interview Malema said that there will not be any whites killed for now
and he also stated that he can not say what will happen in the future. He then
calmly states that their will be a revolution and that this is the highest form
of anarchy. Just a few days ago or previous president Zuma and his followers
shouted one bullet, one settler.
This is the country we live in. It is probably the capital of
contradiction and racism in the world. In one instance they shout kill the
whites and the next moment they need your help. How much more must we (tax
payers) give and how much more must we listen to the ridiculous lies that they
come up with. Jesus said in Matthew 5: But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and
on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye
more than others? do not even the
publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect.
This is one of the hardest things to do. When they tell lies,
hate you, steal from you, kill you, torture you, oppress you and turn every situation
in a racial one and blame their incompetency’s on you as if you are responsible
for their choices and lies. Yet, Jesus made it clear and this is what we must
do. We must love our enemies and do good to them. How can we be forgiven if we
do not forgive? We must love so that the world can see that we are children of
God. So, even if they hate us, persecute us, murder us or even torture us we must
remain humble and listen to our Father, because He will deal with our enemies. So,
I will continue to pray for our government and Malema, because I know who my
God is, and I know that He will save His people (all Christians). Therefore, I know
that in the world ye (you and me no
matter our race or gender) shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I (Jesus)
have overcome the world.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
