Remember, when you pray, God listens. When you pray, storms are stilled. When you pray, doors open. When you pray, relationships are restored. When you pray, hope is rekindled. When you pray, answers come. Don't lose faith in what you're praying for. God is faithful. His answers will come at just the right time.
Heavenly Father, We ask for Your favor, peace, and protection today. Bless our work, strengthen our hearts, and guide our steps. May Your Spirit fill us with joy and Your wisdom lead us to make righteous choices. Protect our families and keep us under Your care. Amen.
Get ready for breakthroughs.
Get ready for promotion.
Get ready for restoration.
You may have had that problem for a long time, but this week can be the week it turns around. Suddenly, things can change!
God wants His glory to be seen on you. He wants you to stand out in the crowd. He wants you to be so blessed that everyone around you sees His goodness on you. So keep standing, keep believing, keep hoping, and keep declaring His Word because blessings and favor are coming your way.
God is saying to you today: I am not done with you yet. Your latter days shall be better than your former. Where you are now is only the beginning. Don't let your present circumstances discourage you, because where you started will not be where you finish. The good things you've experienced are only a small glimpse into what is to come. Get ready for your latter days, keep moving forward it will only get better. And though you started with little, you will end with much.
Everything is going to happen for you all of a sudden. All the disappointments, the challenges, the struggles, the ups and downs will finally make sense. You will be thankful that you didn't give up. Great blessings are coming your way. Believe it. Trust God and be ready to receive it.
No one will read this:
But when one goes through the list of โrace lawsโ the IRR talks aboutโฆ you actually get shocked. I went in expecting hardcore stuff like โNo whites allowed in Universityโ or โNo whites allowed in Hospitalsโ etcโฆ but noo.
Itโs the Gambling Act, South African Weather Service Act, Boxing Act, Tourism Act, Broadcasting Act, National Sport and Recreation Act, National Health Laboratory Service Act, Civil Aviation Act, Electronic Communications Act, etc. listed. Here is the website: https://t.co/zOOrPXnLZsโฆ
And theyโre listedโฆ not because they segregate anyone, but simply because they mention the words transformation or redress, some coz they require some racial/sex/disability or even sector-specific representation such as โrequired Faith based leader,โ youth representation, community or stakeholder groups, and even professional or sectoral expertise on regulatory boards where some of those groups historically or recently werenโt part of those structures.
My personal opinion: โ ๏ธ Yes it is concerning that there are no clear end goalsโฆ no cut-off timelinesโฆ no measurable targets. South Africa hasnโt had a purely merit based system for over 100 years. I donโt think transformation pressures should be a permanent feature of society.
There has to be parts of our system where we declare victory and let other systems take over now. And where these pressures donโt always succeed, alternative tools need to be explored. Keeping something say for example BEE forever, even when it isnโt achieving the intended goals, becomes very hard to defend.
We need the best of each community competing with the best of other communitiesโฆthatโs the only way to get the ultimate best of our communities running our society.
