Well today is supposed to be reconciliation day.....Instead protests were held around the country for Jacob Zuma...our president nogal to resign.....! So I hear you bleating that a spiritual blog should not be political. Well all radical changes are politically driven one way or another...you don't agree?
Was the start of Jesus life and ministry not politically affected in a way? You may say no, but I beg to differ. Pilot says, "let me worship the king," the wise men take off and Joseph heads for Egypt. The death of John the Baptist too no doubt had an impact on Christ's life, entrenching in Him a defiant spirit to not surrender to the political will of the Jews to rule by force, but to lead His kingdom through a new reality.
Though the separation between church and state needs to be clear, there is no doubt in my mind that the one impacts the other and vice versa. So where should we stand as Christian's....I go back a few weeks and remind you of my call to revival, a call to awaken the church in South Africa to rise up once again and pray that political change in this country would come by peace and not by war.
What will happen if we fail to do this? Tom Ingles once implied that a physical war cannot be fought unless a spiritual was has been lost. It is therefore our responsibility to pray for peace and pray for revival like never before........
Are you with me?
