- Some members of a team that have been involved in consultations relating to 10 points of Christian consensus. They are, from the left, Dr Ruben Richards, Dr Arno van Niekerk, Errol Naidoo and Advocate Alan Nelson.
A great awakening of God’s people is taking place in South Africa, say a team of Christian leaders who have been working together on a strategy to “peacefully storm the elections to usher in a righteous government”.
At the heart of their campaign are 10 “Christian Consensus” statements which they say represent what Christians want for SA and which have been endorsed by about two million believers over just a few months, and shared with political party leaders as the proposed basis of cooperation.
Several high-profile events aimed at raising awareness of the initiative and mobilising Christian voters, are lined up between now and Election Day, starting with a gathering of senior Christian leaders in Pretoria on Saturday to sign a declaration to officially make SA a Kingdom nation, says Dr Arno van Niekerk, one of the team members.

The righteous government election initiative is backed by a major prayer movement co-ordinated by Bible teacher Dr Arthur Frost, who told Gateway News that Christians responding to a campaign to pray blessings over towns and cities of SA have covered thousands of locations. An interactive map and table tracking progress in this campaign will be posted on the website www.greatawakeningsa.co.za, he said.
He said there were “thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people”, praying for the Christian leaders’ declaration-signing event in Pretoria on Saturday. He said a call has been made for intercessors to gather at the venue at Doxa Deo Church in Brooklyn from 11.30am to pray for the event which starts at 1pm.
The election initiative began in late January when 200 Christian leaders were asked to list the top 10 values they would want to see implemented if a Christian government was elected. Most of the leaders identified the same values, which became the Christian Consensus that was shared with SA Christians and with political party leaders in meetings at Parliament and at Galagher Estate.

Every political party was invited to meet with the righteous government initiative team, provided that they were in agreement with the Christian Consensus points, said Van Niekerk, emphasising that the campaign was not about political parties but about uniting and activating the Church across every line of division.
“We have prayed at the It’s Time and other events and we have sought the Lord’s face and seen that He wants his people to put their faith into practical action,” he said, referring to Isaiah 59:14 – 16 which speaks about a lack of justice and righteousness because there was no one to intervene.
“From my meetings with political leaders, I can tell you SA is ready for change. These leaders are listening to the voice of God’s people expressed by the Christian Consensus and they are responding with commitments.”
Party leaders who have met with the righteous government initiative team members include Dr Kenneth Meshoe (ACDP), Mmusi Maimane (DA), Mosiuoa Lekota (Cope), Dr Pieter Groenewald (FF), King Bryce Mthimkhulu (ARU), and a representative of IFP standing in for Mangosuthu Buthelezi. Dr Convy Baloyi (ACO) had hoped to attend one of the meetings but was unable to because of an urgent matter.
Van Niekerk said that in the event of an election victory, these parties were committed to putting a righteous president into office, appointing leaders who were accountable to voters, healing the nation and building a prosperous South Africa.
The election focus was just the beginning of the initiative, with the goal of electing a righteous government. Thereafter the focus would be on Christians taking hands to make South Africa a righteous nation, he said.
Referring to the events planned in the run-up to the election, he said: “We need to change the whole atmosphere in the nation with an awareness of God’s presence, destiny and purposes so that drastic change comes on and after Election Day.”
The event schedule is:
Saturday April 6: Christian leaders unite at Doxa Deo Church, Brooklyn, Pretoria at 1pm to sign a declaration to officially make SA a Kingdom nation. Among the leaders invited are Angus Buchan and Advocate Thuli Madonsela. All are welcome to attend.
Saturday April 20: A prayer meeting in Johannesburg at a venue to be confirmed, where political party leaders and other leaders will intercede for SA. The public event over the Easter weekend will not be a political gathering but strictly a prayer meeting.
Saturday April 27 (Freedom Day): Christians will be asked to wear white and take to the streets for #JesusMarches all over SA — big or small. The Christian awakening team are calling it “True Freedom Day” as they aim to bring a massive shift in the nation. A mass meeting will take place at Mount Zion, Germiston. Everyone is welcome.

Election Day: Christians are asked to wear white at the polls. “Seeing each other in the rows to vote, we’ll pray together. A new nation is birthed (Isaiah 66:8),” say the initiative team.

Why was ACO not present????
I believe Dr Baloyi met separately with a member of the initiative team.
I was at that meeting, but was disappointed about the ignorant inclusion of Crossing Lion Gate Group from Jimmy Wright as unrighteousness reign in all their activities. A group due for closing down.
I was there at the meeting, Trust in God for the elections to approve your own mandates, after the election we will see what is the plan of God. Voters will be educated by a Covenant mandate, not by preliminary agreements with unrighteous people.
Thank you all for driving this initiative and keeping it going We are excited to be a part of this New South Africa. We believe this us truly a God-thing. And it will not fair. Glory to God
Our GOD is an awesome GOD!

Where two or three agree, it will be done. Thank you Lord you are bringing the true church together.
The Word declares that God’s ears are attentive to the prayers of the righteous….We, as believers, need to remember aswell that Jesus is praying for us(the true church) to be overcomers and to walk in Victory daily, not allowing a spirit of fear to emerge or to be entertained….our Faith needs to swell with this incredible knowledge of truth, that if God is for us who can stand against us….I personally salute those upfront, taking on the status quo and pray earnestly that the mighty spirit and the divine power of God, will break whatever is standing before us believers, and also to see and experience God’s supernatural spirit working powerfully to convict more and more sinners to repentance…. I pray that these spokesperson for Christ, would be fully submitted to the Holy Spirits leading, which is all the wisdom they truly need, in the communications with the present powers that be….. We pray for strength of heart and mind and a unity of love amongst these brothers… we backing you in pray all the way…. We desire nothing less than a Godly government fully submitted to the Word and Spirit of Almighty God.
I praise and thank our Lord for this incredible initiative and the Great Awakening of the Church! Thank you to all the leaders who are working so tirelessly to bring about positive change in our beautiful country. It is truly appreciated.
GOD is truely at work…PRAISE HIS NAME!
Praise God for His mercy.Isaiah 60vrs1

It’ll be good if áll biblical christian leaders of áll churches could stand together with this initiative, signing together the document in question in évery supburb in évery town.
Although áll church leaders can stand together in this, why is only sóme places like Pretoria in question where people can get together to pray? It’ll be good if áll leaders can come together at their different locations.
Thank you Lord for Your blessing on our whole country! Amen!
Great to be part of this. Thank you Lord.
In the Name of Jesus we have the victory!
Amen!!!
The Word says; “Put your trust in Me,and I will get the job, done”.Thankyou Jesus!
Exciting news, I bless the Lord. Jesus is faithful
In 1981 pastors from different denominations came out of there churches believe god for reviewel we prayed for what is taking place now in south Africa and in the world the out poring has begun no Government or political party will be able. To stop what is happening in our country
Vader aan U alleen kom toe die Lof,Eer en Dank. Dankie dat U oor nie doof is nie,en U arm nie te kort is on te help nie. Dankie vir oorwinning reeds betaal. Halleluja Prys die Here Amen
For many years our eyes were fixated on what the enemy was doing instead of fixing our eyes on God as the Author and Finisher of our faith. In 2014 I had a vision of people moving from North to the middle of South Africa carrying piles of wood. The same came from the East and West to the gathering where there was a a type of bonfire already going up. The people whom were already there were praying and singing songs of praise & worship so the fire kept brightening up the night sky while the embers were floating upwards and b3ing blown to places starting more smaller fires where the embers rested.As the people came close to fire they loaded the wood onto the fire they were carrying increasing the power of the fire. More embers rose upwards and were carried by the wind to other places. It is happening. Our God is by His Spirit awakening our nation in a revival of committing hearts to seek righteousness. For this is His Kingdom, righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit. Hence the name which flowed out of the vision. Fire Igniters SA.
“It takes one Holy Spirit inspired man/woman of God to ignite a fire and set a nation on fire for God.” Our people are with you all and we shalp not cease to thank Our Heavenly Father God for all of the leaders now involved who have declared;” South Africa and all her towns, cities, farms.
smallholdings, rural areas belong to God. Fire Power Prayer Warriors.
Thank you for sharing that. May we all purposely go out and trust the Holy Spirit to start fires and cause our Nation to be on Fire for Christ.
There is supernatural power in prayer. This is our only hope for the future against
the evil forces. Amen
Praise the Lord! Thankful that He is moving in SA! Only concerned about the Constitutions of some of these “Christian” parties! Please choose life..what about the abortion policy? It’s MURDER! Aco Covenant is according to the Law of the Lord acceptable!
May the Name Of God be Gloryfied.
Let’s us keep praying for God’s intervention.
PRAISE GOD OUR ABBA FATHER
We serve an awesome God. With Him ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
If we want Godly change Christian must stand together now in Jesus Name
We thank God for this great awakening of the church. May God continue to bless you brothers for this great awakening. Is. 60:1 “Arise and shine for your light has come” Christians are now arising to fulfill their mandate of bringing Christ, the Light to reign in our dear South Africa. We believe that South Africa will now be a God fearing Kingdom Nation!
Amen and Thanks for Coming in Agreement. LOVE Zech 8:23 Yooohoooo!Amen!
