Pastor Ruth Nicolas

Help me! Just read the Australian Prime Ministers fantastic speech. My Word, South Africa is also supposed to be a Christian Nation. Wouldn’t it be great if Zuma had the same tenacity and got off of all the internal nit picking and said eternal good stuff about South Africa. Such as:- South Africa is a country built on Christian Principals and we are a land of Divine opportunity. we have 8oo,ooo children to adopt and love and feed. We have so many HIV survivors to feed correctly and to make medicine available to. We are a nation that has prayer in our schools and God hears us and answers our prayers. This is our moment of Divine advertising. Let us show the world God is for us and his favour is upon us. We are blessed financially by God, we forgive as God has forgiven us. God is glorifying His Name through South Africa. We are proud to be a Nation that goes to Church and that honours God and Biblical Principals. Come and see the Lord is Good and so are we!

Please help me. What’s my problem? So glad you asked.
A lady came to me for my help. My problem is really her’s. She is a young, married, Indian lady. She could not have children and, in really miraculous circumstances, a darling, baby boy was left on her doorstep. Her and her husband were so happy and immediately adopted the little boy. Here’s the problem: The little boy is now 8 years old. The couple have since had their own child, a little girl. Now the problem, the mother begins to accuse the little boy of all sorts of sexual type misbehavior. He was apparently found touching her baby girl’s privates and the mother responded very badly - screaming and eventually coming to the conclusion that the little boy and girl needed to be separated from each other. She and the baby move into a relative’s home. The father of the little boy is for the child and thinks this is all rubbish. The mother wants the little boy out of the house, she is not happy with him.
The father moves out of the house to go and visit his mother, he is very dependent on his mother. The little boy is left with his mother who invites all the nieces and nephews to her house to keep her company.
The mother throws a party for all the teenage cousins and her boyfriend. Although the family is Christian, she has drugs and alcohol at the party, and inappropriate sexual behavior takes place. The mother actually has sex, she told the cousins why she and her boyfriend were going into the bedroom.
A number of the cousins, as soon as they reach home, start to cry and tell the story, the same story.
The mother denies everything and blames the 8 year old for lying to everyone. She says she asked God to forgive her, but at the same time denies anything happened.
The little 8 year old has a troubled look and has no way to clear or help himself. The father has forgiven his wife and still wants to keep the boy. The cousins are sticking to their story.The family is happy to move forward and leave it all behind them. My problem, what about a little, unwanted boy living in a house where he is the scapegoat, a bunch of cousins who seemingly have no voice or whose opinions are ignored, and also will this marriage last and what is this all about, who lives like this.Is this perhaps culture?

The other day, we had a quiet moment, sitting relaxing in the lounge, enjoying some peace and quiet, while sipping tea. I looked up to see through a glass door the cutest little puppy, happily wagging its tail and looking at me through the glass. “How cute” I said and at that moment the awful realization hit: our own black monster of a dog was within striking range this tiny little thing, and its future looked less than hopeful at that moment and the moment was seriously turning ugly.

This is a message Pastor Ruth preached a while back which I happened to have recorded. Anyway, it is one of my favourites and is absolutely anointed and powerful! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
