INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG


When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint. After getting out all he may need, the artist starts picking out the colours and brushes he wants to use...then; he begins! Now, somewhere during the process of this painting he comes to the point where he decides to use a very fine brush to put in the some detail on the painting, but for some reason that brush just does not want to work...and having to finish the painting, the artist chooses another brush which even though it is not as fine (able) as the previous brush becomes a skilful wand in the hands of the artist, not due to the capabilities of the brush...no, due to the willingness!

Mat 22:14 for many are called, but few are chosen...

I believe this scripture does not refer to God having favourites and therefore does not want to choose some, but rather because some are consistently refusing God's grace and love to shape and mold their hearts.

Do you realize just how much God loves you...? He created the universe with words, yet He took the time to mold, shape and create you...this has to make you wonder; who is this God that thought of me before the foundation of the earth and if He thought of me, that must mean that I am worth so much in His hands...?


BELIEVING...BELIEVER or UNBELIEVING BELIEVER?

For the last couple of weeks I have had numerous conversations with fellow believers asking me whether I think ACO African Covenant will be able to take the next election and Govern this nation? 

My answer was, still is and will be:

YES I BELIEVE! 

and the response that I would get when I ask; "why do you ask" is shocking...as many people respond by saying "I do think that they will take over Nationally and Provincially eventually but not now as the obstacles (corruption etc.) are just too much and the current government has just too much supporters". 

For me this is very unsettling as I can not understand how we can say that we believe yet our belief is circumstantial...this to me is not belief as true belief is not based on facts but on the WORD of GOD as our assurance can only be found in God and His Word.

Hebrews 11:1
The Triumphs of Faith

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed) and the evidence of things not seen (the conviction of their reality - faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses).

God has given a WORD that "It is Time", South Africa is standing before the "promised land" (the South Africa which He has promised and we have all hoped and trusted the Lord for) but He is putting before us life & death and His Spirit unctions us to CHOOSE LIFE as He is ready to move His hand on our behalf! 

The Lord has even gone so far as to anoint the next president Dr. Convy Baloyi and he confirmed this before numerous people who bare witness to this both in spirit and in truth (heart and mind).


Yet, when the testimony of this is shared and the VISION of HOPE and SALVATION proclaimed there are still some "believers" who seems to have an evil report that gives "more power" to the "giants" in the land than the Word of God.

When the Israelites stood before Canaan the first time, 12 spies were sent in to scout the land and out of the 12...2 came back giving Glory to God by giving a good report whereas 10 came back and fell short from the Glory of God by giving an evil report.

2 BELIEVERS (Joshua and Caleb) did not come back in ignorance, not recognizing that there were in fact giants in the land of Canaan but they also did not not give the giants any power by placing emphasis on their size or strength. They chose to rather emphasize the prosperity that God has promised and the Ability of God to bring His WORD into fulfillment by enabling them to defeat the giants as long as they kept their faith in Him and not in themselves. 

Whereas the other 10 spies came back in unbelief, as they placed their focus on the giants more than on the Promises/Word and Ability of God hence creating a platform which the enemy handicapped them into not entering into the land which God has promised. 

South Africa, my question to you is: 

Are you one of the 10 

UN-believing "believers"?

OR 

are you one of the 2 

BELIEVING BELIEVERS?


Do not let your unbelief create an opportunity for a self-proclaimed prophecy to take place but rather submit and adhere to the WORD or GOD.

One thing is SURE and that is...GOD WILL ESTABLISH a Righteous Government in South Africa and He wants to do it NOW but our unbelief or belief in Him is what will cause Him to either withhold or move His hand on our behalf...NOW!

Do you want to be the Caleb and Joshua generation that entered into the promised land through their faith in God and His ability to establish and sustain it or do you want to be part of the generation that perished in the wilderness because of their unbelief?

God has heard our prayers and He has anointed the next leader that He wants to appoint, his name is Dr. Convy Baloyi (President of ACO African Covenant) and he carries the VISION of God for South Africa in his heart which is to establish a God-Fearing Government by building a UNITED, RESPECTED, ORDERLY and PROSPEROUS Republic of South Africa.

South Africa you can choose to listen and adhere to the Word of God and the following will be your future and inheritance:


Or you can choose to make the following scripture your history 

Hebrews 13:12 - 18
The Peril of Unbelief

Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart (which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart) that turns away from the living God but continually encourage one another every day, as long as it is called "Today" (and there is an opportunity). So that none of you will be hardened (into settled rebellion) by the deceitfulness of sin (its cleverness, delusive glamour and sophistication), for we (believer) have become partakers of Christ (sharing in all that the Messiah has for us). If only we hold firm our newborn confidence (which originally led us to Him) until the end, while it is said... 

"TODAY (while there is still opportunity) 
IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME (in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah)."

For who were they who heard and yet provoked Him (with rebellious acts)? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned whose dead bodies were scattered in the desert? And to whom did He swear (an oath) that they would not enter His rest but to those who disobeyed (those who would not listen to His word)?

I trust that everyone reading this post has been led by God to see and hear what His will is for the nation of South Africa in the coming season, I pray that you will hear and perceive the word of God and that you will vote ACO African Covenant

Please read our manifesto called THE COVENANT on ACO's website for more info on what ACO stand for.
