Yesterday, I was standing in my daughter's flat and I was listening to the radio with one ear. Not really focused, I did not realise what they were talking about. Then, all of a sudden, I realise that it was a fortune teller on our local radio station. People phoned in and asked him about their work/jobs, if they are going to win money etc.
What a super smart guy. He said to the one woman that he does not see her winning money in the near future (she got a letter in the post stating that she could win, but must pay an ex amount first in order to qualify for the draw). He also said that she must be careful, and that that kind of letters will not secure winnings, and that he was there too (he received some of the letters too). He answered in such a way that it can go both ways.
I said to my daughter that it is a sin to predict and to listen to predictions. It is not me saying that, it is in the Bible. I got so cross that I wanted to phone him and ask him to tell me about my life, being a Christian and how I will grow (I knew this will shut his mouth). I then soon realise that it was the devil working within me, because while I wanted to talk to this guy, telling him it is a sin, I will be doing what the devil wants me to do.
I am not interested in my future. As long as I have God in my life, I am happy. By getting cross with people like this, I will definitely be feeding the devil.
I think that I do understand the saying: "The devil is mighty, but GOD is almighty". The devil wanted me to do this, but God showed me that it is not the right way to stop something like that. I do not have answers as to how or where to start, but I do know that GOD will lead the way.
Yesterday I said I have hope for our country. First, the black guy got up from his chair so that I can sit (it is not their culture), a black woman gave the best service I've had in a long time, and now the shocker: the white people helped, but not with so much enthusiasm as the black lady. Funny that in today's economic situation, they definitely did not feel threatened, or anything. They were confident, but not as good as the one who helped me.
If we start working together, all South Africans', irrespective of the race, we will be a wonderful rainbow nation. At this stage the scale definitely goes to one side.
My other problem with our nation: "Why do we not allow the sun to shine above other people?" You know, our biggest problem is that we are always talking about the others.
If someone you know get a raise, you get jealous, if he gets promoted - the same result. This is not how GOD wants us to act. Children of God will forget and forgive. They will congratulate another person and they will really feel good and happy for that persons' sake. God will put HIS love in you and you will show people that God's light is within you.
Come on South Africans, we are a rainbow nation. One of the friendliest nations in the world. Why is it so difficult for us to get along. We need a mind change. Treat other people as a person, a creation of God, and do not look at him as he/she is from another race. This is the only way to take hands and be the nation we can be.
