“And so I tell all of you: what you
prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven... And I tell you more: whenever
two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you
by my Father in heaven.” – Matthew 18: 18 - 19
WHEN it comes to the horrors of society – foremost in our mind is South
Africa’s latest official murder rate of 19 000 a year, many of them
farmers – we must act, but with care. We can’t simply wait for heaven to do
something; we are empowered to say “no” on earth and God will respond with a “no”
in heaven. By all means wear black clothes and make your voice heard, but we
must take care not to just spread the anger, the rot that can spark more
violence. God wants us to pray together. Let’s call specific days of prayer and
let criminals who are responsible know that it is because of their sin and that
the spirit of the nation is stirred up. Let’s get together to pull the trigger
of prayer that prompts Almighty God to shoot down their evil.
