A Light Shines Through The Dark Clouds!
A ray of light appears to be breaking through the dark clouds of the persistent bad news about rampant state corrup on, the mismanagement of state resources and the alarming moral decline in society.
An increasing number of poli cal par es and grassroots movements with a clear and uncompromising Biblical stance is making itself known on the South African poli cal landscape.
Several poli cal par es were formed over the past few years with a strong Chris an ethos - presumably, in response to the alarming breakdown of morality in South Africa. These par es acknowledge the na ons woes are a direct consequence of its rejec on of God and His Word.
My research indicates, many of the Chris an based poli cal par es could not afford the more than R600,000 to register for the General Elec ons. However, those that will appear on the ballot on 8 May like the African Chris an Democra c Party (ACDP), African Covenant Party (ACO), ECOForum, Chris an Poli cal Movement (CPM), and the Freedom Front Plus (FF+) will provide values voters a choice.
In addi on, the "New Na on" High Court case currently seeking an urgent amendment to the Electoral Act to provide individuals the right to stand as cadidates in the General Elec ons - could poten ally postpone this Elec ons. The W/Cape High Court will deliver its judgment on 17 April.
Many prominent and competent Chris an leaders have indicated their desire to represent their cons tuencies in Parliament but are not prepared to be controlled or manipulated by poli cal party bosses. These leaders will however stand as candidates if they can do so independently. Significantly, the Cons tu on makes provision for this but not the Electoral Act.
Grassroots ini a ves like the “New Na on Movement” among others were birthed to give voice to the groundswell of ordinary ci zens calling for South Africa to “turn to God.” The response to prayer mee ngs and Bible-based gatherings have increased drama cally over the past decade.
More than 500 Chris an leaders from across the country gathered in Pretoria on 6 April to pray and sign a unity Declara on to inten onally make South Africa a Kingdom Na on. Ini ated by Dr Arno Van Niekerk and Dr Arthur Frost, its mission is to unite South Africans in Christ.
Chris an ci zens are urged to pray for the na on in villages, towns and ci es across the country. The na onwide prayer ini a ves will culminate in “Jesus Marches” across the country on 27 April (Freedom Day) ending in a mass mee ng at Mount Zion in Germiston in Gauteng.

I have received informa on about several other prayer ini a ves leading up to the General Elec ons on 8 May. Many are fas ng and interceding for a peaceful Elec ons and a miracle in South Africa.
The growing recogni on that South Africa must turn to God in this me of uncertainty and turmoil is encouraging. Please join the growing movement for Godly change in South Africa by Praying, Par cipa ng and Vo ng your Values on 8 May 2019.
