I greet you all in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ. Hon Chief Justice and hon Chairperson of the NCOP, this morning we have come to be seated here with many decisions that have to be made. Truly the shift has come over our nation South Africa, and today we want to stand and give the Lord the greatest honour and the greatest praise.
There was a young man in the word of God by the name of Nehemiah, and he was a cup bearer to the king. He was that man that took a stand when he saw that Jerusalem's gates have been broken down, the walls have been destroyed, the gates have been burnt and then he
began to go and he inspected them because his heart was so sad. This is the situation that we have faced that this nation, their gates have been burnt and that the walls are all broken down, but there are Nehemiahs that God called in this nation, and has said those that have sworn an oath before not only man, but also before God, you have a responsibility by the living God. It is not just men that have called you, God has appointed you and you all have the responsibility not only from the earth, but also towards heaven.
He is the King and you will have to answer with every decision.
The bible says, "It is not by might and it is not by the powers of man and it is not by the wisdom of man. Only God gives the wisdom." He is the one; there is no other one. His name is Jesus: He is the King of kings; and He is the Lord of lords.
The word of God says Nehemiah went down and he said, "And then I said to them, I see the distress that we are in. Jerusalem laeth in waste." South Africa needs to be rebuilt again! God has called this time and for this time they are not only have the transition, but we are stepping into a new era and a new dawn!
And he says come and let us built. You will no longer be a reproach. Let us arise! How many years since we are arising! We are rising from the ashes and we are going to put our hands to the plough and we are not looking back! Amen!
Father, today, we want to say thank you. Thank you that you have handpicked men and women. Men that you have sworn to come to the fore. So, today Father I thank you that they were created according to the image of God in heaven! Yes, our people need direction. If there is no knowledge, our people perish.
So, today in the name of Jesus I thank you as the King of kings and you are the Lord of lords over South Africa and there is no one. You will make a new miracle. I thank you Lord that those you have called, are called by your name. So, you have created them. Give them the wisdom and the strategy to live.
Oh Father, let your glory reign over them. I thank you that you permeate their hearts to know that they should fall on their knees and call upon to you for that wisdom. It does not come from the council of men, but it comes from the King of kings and his name is Jesus! Amen and Amen!
Thank you very much, for all the prayers and the words of inspiration. There is one announcement. I am told there is going to be a group photo that will be taken after this sitting on the steps of the NCOP. As you walk from here, the steps I am sure are on your left. So, we are requested to assemble there to have a group photo. Please proceed there as soon as we adjourn the sitting.
At this point, I now declare that this sitting is adjourned. Thank you very much.
