Vileness is Exalted

I write this regarding the racist utterance of a political party's councillor in our South African parliament, about the minority 'white' Afrikaners, in our country.

____________________________

Willie Aucamp, the DA’s national spokesperson, said:
“The councillor’s statement, expressing a desire to ‘m*er a boer’ and his utterance that he ‘wants the blood of an Afrikaner’, is a blatant display of hate speech and racism that has no place in our democratic society.

“The EFF is a party of hatred and chaos. They are the ‘breakers’ that seek to sow division and incite violence, undermining the values of unity and respect that our nation is built upon.”

See the few seconds clip in this video where the councillor is spewing his vileness in parliament. That's all their party brings to the table, hatred and racism against the minority in this country. (The Democratic Alliance also brought criminal charges against the racist councillor.) I hope and pray that justice shall prevail. Pray with us please, whoever reads here.🙏🕊️

Vileness is Exalted

Psalms 12:1-8 NIV

[1] Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race. 

[2] Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts

[3] May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue— 

[4] those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?” 

[5] “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord. “I will protect them from those who malign them.” 

[6] And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. 

[7] You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked, 

[8] who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.


Psalm 94:15
NIV

Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,🙌🏻😇 and all the upright in heart will follow it.

Giving to God

Let us give our best when we help the poor, the needy. Jesus said if we've done it unto the least of his brethren, we've done it unto Him. Wouldn't we want to give the best food and drink and clothes to Jesus? Let us do likewise to the poor and needy.

Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

~•Amos 8:4-6

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
~•2 Samuel 24:24

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
~•Matthew 25:40

Paul's Hardships

Just look at all the hardships Paul went through.  Doesn't seem like he lived his best life then.  It does look like he had LOTS of hardships though!  Just like Jesus said about his followers.

They were poor!  They owned nothing!  Read there in 2 Corinthians 6, Paul's own words!

Look what the late David Wilkerson had to say about the prosperity gospel:
"Satan's gospel is 'gain is godliness'.  In this day and age of success and prosperity preaching, do you wanna hear what the gospel says???  Are you interested???  Here it is from the words of our Master Himself...."
    "BLESSED ARE YOU POOR, For yours is the kingdom of God.
    Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled.
    Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.
    Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake."
    Here's what the gospel says about people in these modern times in the church who's seeking after material things...from the lips of Jesus Himself!...
    "BUT WOE TO YOU WHO ARE RICH, For you have received your consolation.
    Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger.
    Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.
    Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets!!"
    "The gospel of gain despises poverty.  It rejects and despises the poor.
    Listen to what James said..."But you have despised the poor"!!
    "For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool,"
    "This is a gospel of partiality to the prosperous and successful and it's an indictment against the poor to whom Jesus ministered.  It exalts prosperity and success.  James said are you not partial?  Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be RICH IN FAITH and heirs of the kingdom?..."
    "And for you preachers of the gospel who try to tell me that He became poor that we can become rich in houses and lands, you don't know your Bible!  There it is, it says "has not God chosen the poor RICH IN FAITH"!!
    HOW BLIND IS THE CHURCH TODAY!  HOW BLIND!  Is this the gospel for a dying world?!..."gain is godliness, faith is for prosperity, poor people lack faith, Christ became poor so that we could become rich in material goods"?  "He came to give us abundant life"...Is abundant life supposed to be worldly goods?!  NO!...that's ETERNAL LIFE!"

    ~David Wilkerson

AMEN!

Jesus said that in this world we will have tribulation, but to take heart because He has overcome the world. Jesus said a servant is not greater than his master. He said if they persecuted Him they will persecute us. Jesus said take up your cross and follow Him.
