Prophecy for South Africa

Photo credit: freefoto.com Creative Commons 3.0 license
As I read the news reports of the devastating fires sweeping across Table Mountain and parts of South Africa's capital city, I feel for those whose homes have been destroyed. I watch as the emergency services battle to control and contain the raging inferno. As the winds change direction, so the fire is blown in new directions. As the heat remains high, the fire burns on.

Without belittling or undermining the suffering that this fire has brought, I do believe that as I think and pray about it - God has a prophetic word for South Africa:

South Africa, the heat of crime and corruption is intensifying. The heat of greed and the oppression of the poor is rising. O Church in South Africa arise! As the heat of the things of this world that displease God increase you need to shine your light like never before. Stand up for truth. Stand up for righteousness. Stand up for the orphan, the widow and the poor. You need to be a light burning brightly upon a hill. As the heat increases your light on the hill will burst into flame! It will not only be seen from afar, but its effects will be felt far off. O Church of Christ arise! Shake off your slumber. As you burn brightly, government will be affected. Minds and hearts will melt. Unsolvable problems will be solved. As the wind of God's spirit moves and changes, so too will the direction of the passion of The Church. Keep connected to the Holy Spirit. Keep seeking so you can follow where He is going. Open your hearts, open your arms and allow God's spirit to blow in and through you. Some may try to contain this move of the Spirit but it is a raging fire that can not be contained! The fire of a powerful and wild God. O Church in South Africa, now is the time! Now is the time to stand for truth. Now is the time to raise your voice and cry out for your nation. As the fire of God sweeps across your land it will not bring destruction and death, but will bring new life. As the protea blooms after a fire, so will the nation of South Africa!

I do not presume to be a prophet, so please check this word. Weight it. Test it. Any feedback or comments can be made below and are very welcome.
