Our Struggle – Part 1

This generation too has its own struggle that it is facing. Our struggle is different from that of the previous generation; they fought the enemy that was visible to them. They took to the street and charged someone with responsibility. The white apartheid government was responsible for the oppression of people with colour. Today who is responsible for homophobic attacks, who is responsible for children trafficking, who’s responsible for fathers and relatives raping and killing the innocents children, for the hijacking, burglary, xenophobia, the list is endless. The truth is there is no physical instution, at least I don’t know of any, where then can we take our mandate of grievances?

The atheist will say we are shifting responsibility if we say the is a spiritual institution that is corrupting our society, they will say we are wrong to blame it all on satan. But our statement is that there is a spiritual realm above our strength that we don’t have power over. In fact Christianity teaches of two spiritual kingdoms that are in charge, the other is the kingdom of darkness that is oppressing This Generation, the other is the kingdom of light that frees.

We cannot shift the blame, correct, because this two kingdoms obliges no one to submit, it is left to our own discretion to choose where we submit ourselves. This Generation should make its own choices, most youth have unconsciously have submerged to the Kingdom of Darkness, this is clear by their deeds .but we refuse to all be victims but we are to deliver our fellow brothers and sisters. We can only show them that there is a kingdom that saves, that frees and promise fruitful gains, it up to them to come under the rule of our kingdom.

We believe we are the creation of the Most high. He gave us this life as a gift, and a gift should bring happiness and that’s how we intend to live this life; with the utmost joy. This other force in the world has no power over He who is in us. It’s through Him that we manage to smile in the mist of sorrow and pain.

Now we stand with our brothers and sisters in Northern Cape who are taking to the streets to say one death of a human being because of his sexual orientation is one too many, to say no one have the right to take the life of another human. To say it’s inhumane to voice your opinion in such an evil manner. Thapelo Makutle we may not know him in person but from what we have read he lived his short life with pride and happiness. May his soul sleep in peace. Now lets hope the planned match will raise awareness about homophobic attacks and will change the mind set of the people of that province, if it can just change one individual ,then will be one step closer to our victory.
