The latest xenophobic attacks in my country (South Africa)
just revealed the loveless generation that does not fear God. We supposed to be
one thankful country filled with hospitality and humanity to our African
brothers; for our forefathers were once foreigners in some of their lands, and
also helped us to overcome the apartheid segregation system. We suppose to give
love to our neighboring countries nationals without conditions. What will
happen if we find ourselves in difficult conditions where we have to rely on
our neighbors to lift us up? This is the situation where my people are
spitting and relieving themselves on the very same well our forefathers drew
water to drink when our wells were dry.
Now my country needs to remember not only their day of
tribulations but to return to God and observe His harmonic ways. He said He
will remind us that we fed Him when hungry, gave Him water to drink when
thirsty, invited Him when He was a stranger and clothed Him when naked and
visited Him when naked(Matthew 25:35). This is the revelation of hospitality
because to us it was said “offer hospitality without grumbling” (1 Peter 4:9),
this is the revelation of “do not mistreat strangers or oppress strangers, for
you were foreigners in Egypt (Exodus 22:21.
Now if we as South Africans forget that we were once
foreigners in other countries and are today mistreating their inhabitants, then
we are lost and very wicked before God. It is time we change our ways and stop
these attacks and be the true corner stone united and harmonious Africa with
Love. We need to stop this alien behavior and function in love and remember
God as our creator and listen to His word. Our leaders also need to play a good
role by educating the citizen the real Ubuntu is; and spread the message of
where we come from as a country and who played a good role. People need to be
reminded these things every day. Spiritual leaders also need to take part in
teaching the revelation of “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31 and
encourage the saints to pray for love to fall on people.
Let us stop xenophobia beautiful people. Blood shedding is ridiculously
wicked and we do not need our country to be stained with innocent blood. Let’s show
the whole world that we can bring peace in this land. God bless the World and
let love reign.
