- 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.

Wonderlike inisiatief! Ek dink nie daar is al ooit soveel vir hierdie land gebid as nou nie. Ons hoop op die Here.
United we stand to serve an awesome God!
Dankie God dat ons n lewende God dien. Praise the Lord??????
Of Israel in Numbers 24:9 God says.. I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU.. AND I WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU. this mornings news was a great disappointment. Our govt is slowly turning their backs on Israel…
All glory to God for those taking the initiative to get the body of Christ standing and praying in unity to see His will being done in SA! I trust the Lord that this will ignite the Church in the rest of Africa to do the same. I’m especially excited about God’s love alive in us, that’s becoming so visible in this beautiful Nation! Amen!
Ek is so opgewonde om te sien wat die HERE gaan doen in ons mooi land, en bid dat sy kinders die regte esluite haan neem volgens Sy will.
Ons as Christene get n groot verantwoordelikheid OP ons om te sorg dat ons stem om in n land te woon wat die Christelike geloof uitleef.
Yes amen for a christian goverment.
I believe our God is in control. He will expose the real organisers behind the Alex protest. We serve an awesome God!
Jesus Christ is in control and people need to know that he is Lord over South Africa. We need to colonise SA with heavens culture.we as the church that are called upon to install God’s culture on earth. Deva
God is ons Redder! Hy sal regeer. Dankie dat julle opstaan!
South Africa back to God. I believe, we are a Christian State but not a circular state with about 85% Christians. Dr Sipho Xipu Deputy President of the Christian Political Movement (CPM ).
Let’s b careful of conspiracies amo gst those who call themselves Christians just to get to power then after being put into power get back to their old cruel ways. Real Christians shall pray for The Almighty God to b in charge of the elections and all processes involved thereof. Some Christians are power hungry, that’s very evident in their comments. God’s love for SA will never end if we trust and hv faith in Him, not in people. So true Christians ask God to give u the spirit of discernment, to b able to distinguish between real and unreal talks or issues. Use the God given spirit of discernment b4 being deceived by power hungry individuals.
Hallelujah ? Amen
Mag God se wil geskied
Wonderful initiative. Thank you …. you all shall be in our prayers.
If Christians stood united on key issues in this land – The Lord Our God will bless us with His favour, but it is so sad that we look at things in isolation & vote for political parties that suit our own needs – they tick a few boxes… but do they stand for truth & upholding moral teaching?

A mother’s womb should be a safe haven for an UNBORN BABY instead it has become a Death Chamber. We cannot be followers of Jesus Christ and vote for political parties that are for the killing of innocent lives – Abortion is not the answer.

Where do ALL our Christian communities stand on the topic of ABORTION in this land?
From the moment of conception The Lord Our God has breathed life – a babies heart beats at 18 days old.
At NO time is abortion acceptable.
For unwanted pregnancies – Adoption is a solution.
The streets of this land are red with the blood of our defenceless innocent unborn babies murdered in their mother’s womb – can we see a turn around in this country if we don’t change these demonic laws as ABORTION IS THE MODERN DAY HUMAN SACRIFICE TO SATAN.
A mother’s womb should be a safe haven for an UNBORN BABY instead it has become a Death Chamber. We cannot be followers of Jesus Christ and vote for political parties that are for the killing of innocent lives – Abortion is not the answer.
As Christians we need to stand up for The Gospel of Life – The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jeremiah 1
5 Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.
Matthew 10
30 Even all the hairs of your head are counted.
31 So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Peace be with all of you. ?
Our country shall be saved only by a commitment to God and godly principles as set out in Gods Word the Bible
Kindly post ALL places from where the marches are going to start. We want to spread the news.

How can parties such as as the DA & Cope be part of this if they are pro abortions and gay marriages? You cannot compromise God’s Word…
