Unveiling God's
SPIRITUAL Plan
for South Africa

By DN Hoets

South Africa is unique amongst the nations being the world's largest gold producer (China has recently overtaken South Africa as the world's largest gold producer); it political situation, too, has been unique with apartheid, sanctions - squeezing the gold - and a shaking leading to a peaceful rainbow nation. Instead of a bitter civil war, God brought our nation into a semblance of peace.

The unfolding of the events in the natural gives us a clue to God's plan for our nation as often in the sovereignity of God the spiritual plan and condition is an extension of the unfolding of natural events. We see this in the churches in Revelation.  

James 5: 1-5

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for
your miseries that are coming upon
you!
Your riches are corrupted, and your
garments are moth-eaten.

Your GOLD and silver are corroded, and
their corrosion will be a witness against you
and will eat your flesh like fire. You have
heaped up treasure in the last days.
Indeed the wages of the labourers who
mowed your fields, which you kept back by
fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers
have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
You have lived on the earth in pleasure
and luxury; you have fattened your hearts
as in a day of slaughter.
You have condemned, you have mur-
dered the just; he does not resist you.

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the
coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits
for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting
patiently for it until it receives the early and
LATTER RAIN.

Consider this article concerning Anglo-American Corporation which controlled most of the gold and minerals in South Africa.

O South Africa, the hand of God is upon you again!

By DN Hoets

Watch South Africa! South Africa is a God-given sign to the world in these end-times.

Apartheid decended on South Africa in 1948, the year in which Israel, God's chief sign indicating the start of the end-times, became a nation. James speaks of this in chapter 5. The context is the time of the latter rain. Apartheid ended in 1993-1994. A divine parenthesis in the calendar of God.

Significantly, it was at this time that the end-time move of God began. It has been recognised by many throughout the body of Christ. It started with the Toronto Movement and spread to the Prophetic Movement of today. Although there have been many excesses and a mixture in these movements, especially the Toronto Movement, many recognise it as the beginning of the end-time move of God. And the final thrust of the end-time move of God - the Tsunami of God - is at the doors.

The United States - Laodicea's centre

Recently, another sign was given. I was stunned for more than a week when I first heard of it. I knew that this was it. This was the beginning of the final thrust. The news - judgment had begun in the house of God. Firstly, with Oral Roberts University and the continuing Senate Investigation, God has begun to judge the Prosperity movement. The second judgment is that of the economy - the American meltdown. Both these judgments are on America, but they affect every nation on the earth.

South Africa: State of the Nation

Suddenly South Africa has has power blackouts shutting down the heart of its economy, the mining sector for almost a week. Economic growth forecasts have been scaled down as this power problem will remain for the next 6 years. Again gold and the mining sector- used to bring South Africa to her knees and out of Apartheid - is being used by God. This time it is a clear call to repentance.

I see God's hand strongly on South Africa. In these end-times, He says, "I am sovereign". Haggai confirms this. Man will not be able to stop this just as the US fiscal cuts and measures will not be able to stop the downward slide of the American economy.

South Africa has become very materialistic. Many people came out from under Apartheid seeking to fullfil their own dreams and their own ambitions in life. Many were godly during the dark Apartheid years. However, with the hope to a better life, many become materialistic and forgot their Maker. I believe that God is trying to get the attention of the people of South Africa. Repent. Turn to Me. Seek the true riches of God found in Jesus Christ. Trust in Me. Repent, otherwise you will go through the coming tribulation that is coming upon the whole earth.

Again this economic situation will fuel the coming move of God - the coming Tsunami - in which South Africa, I believe, plays a key role.

Laodicea - the portrait of the end-time church

Remember, often the world influences the church. It should not be so, but often the church backslides. The picture is one of a outwardly wealthy church, inwardly poor, of which the Prosperity Movement is a perfect match. The American Dream has come into the church. Jesus calls those out of Laodicea to Himself (Revelation 3:20). That is why I do not preach a gospel of prosperity, nor a gospel of poverty but the gospel of Jesus Christ.

___________________________________________________________________________

South Africa, let us forsake our own dreams and maybe the American Dream too. Let us repent turning to Jesus Christ seeking His plans and purposes for our lives. However, let us not turn to the Prosperity Movement which is also prevalent in South Africa, but to Jesus Christ in truth. Let us not spurn the mercy of our God - and yes, this judgment shows His mercy, compassion and sovereignity over the affairs of men. A deperate call to us to repent for we do not see the tribulation that lies ahead after the close of the church age - the day of grace.

Note: Recently, South Africans have sharply shifted their investments from interest-bearing shares (financials, retail) to rand-hedge shares (mining, energy) as the rand weakened. In other words, South Africa is moving at the heartbeat of the US as the US economy is stronger than the South African economy - as strange as this may sound! Is South Africa heading into a recession too? If the US sneezes, we who are in South Africa will now catch a cold.

BREAKING SATAN'S HOLD OVER AFRICA

By DN Hoets

Central African Deliverance Ministries - Rwanda, Africa - has recently invited me as the guest to minister - bring the prophetic word - at a international pastors and government leaders convention (Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, Sudan, Malawi, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia) and a 3 day gospel crusade in Gitarama Stadium next year (March 16th -24th 2008) in Central Africa. Funding is needed for the event. Please email me or Rev Ruhorimbere Denis (Rwanda) if you feel led to be partners in this by contributing financially or in prayer.

Death has come to Africa from Rwanda. Racism and an attack on a largely Christian group (as in Sudan) led to a genocide in 1994. This occured as South Africa in 1994 was breaking free from the grip of racism and moving into a non-racial democracy. Only two international reporters were in Rwanda at the time. The focus was on South Africa.

After 800 000 - 1 million people were killed in Rwanda, the conflict spread to their neighbour, the DRC, and we have seen many nations of Africa involved in the Congo wars which are also known as the world war of Africa. Four and half million people have died in these wars. Poverty and destruction has gripped most of Africa.

Marxist/Communist Zimbabwe has also been plagued with the fruits of Marxist rule and a violation of the basic God-given human rights - the right to life, liberty and the ownership of property. Poverty, instability and death are the fruits.

Rwanda has been on the road of recovery since 1994 and is similar to South Africa in its recovery from apartheid.

However, although good government and the upholding of the God-given human rights is essential for Africa, this is only the law. It is not the gospel. It is the setting of bounds and the church has a important role in this regard to bring godly counsel to heads of state to rule nations in a godly manner. Africa has hopefully learned from its mistakes - learning the hard way - and will seek to lead with good governance in the years ahead, providing peace, safety and prosperity for all peoples in Africa and allowing the final harvest to have its fullness in the years ahead.

When one comes to know Jesus Christ, His manifest presence changes our hearts from hearts of stone to hearts of flesh; hearts sensitive to Him and others. The deeper we move into Him, the more sensitive we become. Life becomes more and more precious. We uphold the first human right - the right to life - by the sensitivity which comes to us as we spend our lives lost in His love and Presence. Similary, the other human rights are fulfilled as we walk in His Presence. The law and government policies which should be based on principles from the Word of God are only for sinners. It is a school teacher pointing us to the gospel. The restoration in Rwanda and South Africa points the way to the need of the coming move of God.

Africa needs God! Africa needs the final tsunami of God's Spirit to reach deeply into the continent, even in the place that brought death to Africa - Rwanda. South Africa also needs revival! Just has Elisha put salt at the source bringing healing to the waters, so, too, the season has come to do so in Africa. Christianity in Africa has been said to be a mile wide but only an inch deep. This needs to change. We need depth.

Is this God's time for Africa?

GOD’S PLAN FOR SOUTH AFRICA (extract)

18 January 2007

Brother Andrew, in his book, “ Battle for Africa ” , says in his chapter, “One Nation Could Save All of Africa ” :
“I believe that God has a special interest in the survival of the South African nation… I believe in a concept, which might be called ‘regional evangelism’. God has given certain countries the primary responsibility for the evangelising of the region of the world which they occupy… a responsibility that emerges as history progresses. To whom much is given, much is expected… I believe that the evangelisation of Eastern Europe is the special responsibility of Western Europe . The United States is responsible for Central and South America . The burden of reaching Asia falls to Australia and New Zealand . And the continent of Africa is the special spiritual responsibility of South Africa .
“Why? Because South Africa has the tools to reach the entire continent. It has the money, technology, a large number of committed Christians, the freedom and relative political stability. It has everything needed to evangelise the continent of Africa , to equip black Africans in other countries to participate in the process, and to get the job done all the way from the Cape of Good Hope to the Sahara Desert . And I further believe that God will intervene in the course of history to preserve South Africa , if her people will accept her responsibility to evangelise the rest of the continent .”
As Loren Cunningham, founder of the international Youth With a Mission, said when he visited South Africa , “God will save your country if you send your young people to the ends of the earth with the Gospel.”
At the centre of the great Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria is an altar with a Bible recalling the message of the 1820 Settlers to the departing Voortrekkers: That God has placed us at the foot of Africa to spread the light of the Gospel of Christ throughout Africa .
South Africans have a great calling, a great responsibility and are still in the midst of a great conflict. As Lenin said, “Whoever controls the tip of Africa controls the world. We want it for world Communism.
