Open letter from our church to the Nation

Brian S.F. Losper of the Khomasdal Baptist Church writes:Twenty six years ago two hands transferred a Nation from oppression to liberation. The one hand gave and the other hand received.A New Nation was born.The system of apartheid made place for the ideology of secularism.What was Apartheid? Apartheid was a political and social system of racial segregation enforced by a minority group on a majority group of people. What is Secularism? Secularism is a norm that involves two basic schemes. The first is the separation of the state from religious institutions. Second is that people of different religions and beliefs are equal before the law.Thus, the hand of apartheid gave to the hand of secularism. On the surface there was the exchange of powers between two political religious entities. But, something else also happened.A shift between two spiritual forces took place. The one gave over to the other and the church was momentarily left paralyzed.The church was a major player during the liberation struggle, but on that night she was unable to discern the spiritual dynamics that shifted the atmosphere, and could not seize the moment.BEFORE AND AFTER 1990The spiritual shift that took place left a vacuum and while the church was celebrating with the New Born Nation, that vacuum was filled and the spiritual domain over this country was now occupied by demonic forces of evil. The divine prophetic blue print of the New Born Nation was intercepted and a change in the spiritual landscape was introduced. The church was left with no other option than to attend to humanitarian development instead of expanding the Kingdom of God.That demonic evil forces infiltrated our homes, schools, churches, businesses and other governmental institutions. That gave birth to the undermentioned charges that the accuser lodge against the Nation. We cannot deny it: many and good happened to this Nation, but it is the negative done by again the minority that is dragging the majority of this Nation down to the brink of social suicide. What are we doing as a Nation under distress?We complain, we cry, we blame, we fight back, we pray, but nothing changed. Is God hearing us, what is God doing?God is hearing us, and He is continually working to change our situation. All He wants is that the Nation must set aside time and come to Him in obedience and with a heart filled with remorse.But that is not all: we also need to repent, because the accuser has lodge various charges against us.THE CHARGES1. Namibia has been ranked as the Nation with the third highest alcohol consumption per capita in Africa.2. Namibia has been ranked first in Africa in terms of the consumption of beer.3. Namibia is ranked first in the world in terms of the number of road deaths per 100 000 residents.4. Namibia is not a drug producing country, but is used as transit route and has become an offset market.5. Crime and so-called “passion” killings continue to skyrocket in Namibia.6. Greed, favouritism and corruption continue to fuel poverty and GBV.7. Teenage pregnancy has become a norm. 8. AIDS remains the leading cause of death among adults in Namibia and the sixth leading cause of death among children under the age of five, exposing our sinful sexual relationships. About 214 956 Namibians are living with HIV, of which an estimated 17 000 are youths between the ages of 10 and 19. 9. Men have become increasingly irresponsible in their relationship with their families, causing us to become a fatherless nation.10. Evident of the decay of society is the fact that the Apostasy (Laodicea) Church is growing daily within the walls of the Nation.OUR REQUESTSRequests for consideration to our Government:1. We request Government to speed up regulations that will prohibit various outlets to sell alcohol and beer within the boundaries of our neighbourhoods.2. We request Government to ban the advertisement and display of alcohol and alcohol related products through printed and electronic media.3. We request Government to prohibit companies to run competitions related to alcoholic and beer products.4. We request Government to put regulations in place that will reduce the production of beer and import of alcohol and alcohol related products with 50%.
