For heaven's sake who do 'we' vote for?
(For those who want to experience heaven on earth)
Forward:
I have known Abraham for over 40 years now. Abraham is a
man who loves all people. Abraham talks of loving every single
person on the planet. His homelife demographic and his daily
practices display this clearly and plainly for all to see.
Whilst Abraham loves all people, he hates practices that
destroy people’s lives; especially the lives of innocent people.
That is a godly trait that I so respect and admire in Abraham.
Whilst this short book puts it out there, I know Abraham’s heart
is not against anyone but is rather for everyone. I trust all will
read this book with this in mind.
We are about to cast our vote as South Africans. I hear the
appeal of Abraham’s heart in this book – Vote for
righteousness so that all may prosper.
Abraham despises the immense suffering we as a nation are
painfully enduring and accordingly is appealing to each of us to
turn the tide by casting the vote that will alleviate this suffering.
Abraham is truly one who we could refer to as “A father of
many nations.”
2
I say, God bless and be God-led as you read this book. Allow
Scripture and the Holy Spirit to speak to you for He will should
you be open to His talking.
On a personal note – God bless you my dearest friend
Abraham. I commend your love for all people, your love for the
truth, and your loving boldness to share it.
Heaven is applauding you my brother-in-Christ.
James

Introduction:
“My beloved fellow South Africans, we are about to go to the
polls to vote in our 2024 National Elections. We have ‘enjoyed/
endured’ 30 years of democracy and to be true we are not doing
well at all to say the very least.”
It is the definition of insanity to do things the same way and
expect different results. If we want different results, we are
going to have to do some things differently.
What has taken us to the state we find our nation in? – Why, for
what reason, has this been happening?
All our State-Owned Enterprises, SOEs, are bankrupt and rely
on repeated bailouts. These are funded by hardworking tax
payer’s money; by your money.
We are enduring repeated, often daily, loadshedding,
businesses are collapsing at an alarming rate, unemployment
increases hourly, the SAA is bankrupt, our Railways
functionality is deplorable, our Post Office is close to being
non-existent, and petrol and diesel prices have reached
stratospheric levels.
Food prices and inflation are increasing at an alarming rate,
people with IP and finance are disturbingly leaving our shores in
their droves, infrastructure is collapsing, and hate and division
are fanned into flame by some.
The list of deep concerns is most extensive and goes on and
on, to say the least.
In the meantime, those in Government, and many Political
Parties and Leaders, are enjoying the ‘gravy train ride’. These
have multiplied millions upon millions of Rands in their illicit
4
accounts. They earn, or ‘receive’, huge, huge, incomes. They
own extravagant homes and drive a range of expensive cars.
They travel the country and the world at the cost of the
taxpayer and are short of nothing. These live lavish lifestyles.
Their agenda is for themselves. This at the expense of the
innocent and the well-being of the country at large.
Meanwhile, we, our Parents, our Grandparents, our Children,
and our Grandchildren, are suffering!
This book is written to present us with two options. One will
bring change and prosperity to the over 60,000,000 precious
people of our nation. The other will keep our people in
progressive poverty, suffering, and destruction.
Chapters Six and Seven then present us with two groups of
Political Party types – One ‘type’ will give us ‘hell on earth,’
and the other, ‘heaven on earth.’
For who, for which Party ‘type’, will we be voting??
This book conveys God’s view and advice on how to arrive at
the success and blessing God so desires for us as a nation.
Accordingly, this book is Biblically based for our good.
Who will I – Who will you – Who will we vote for?
“Do I, Do you, want ‘hell’ on earth, or ‘heaven’ on earth?”

A book by Abraham of “For Your Good” Ministries.
Founding Scripture:
Romans 1v11
“For I long to be with you that I may impart some good gift
‘for your good.’”
6
Chapter One – The Commanded Blessing
Psalm 133v1-3
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.
The one thing that commands a blessing is Unity. If unity
commands a blessing, then how do we achieve unity?
Unity is achieved by everyone agreeing on, trusting, and doing
God’s Word in any and every situation. The one way to
overcome all forms of destruction is to unite around the wise
counsel of The Word of God – The Bible. We are in unity
when we agree to and unite around The Word – when we
vote according to the counsel of The Word; according to
God.
This short book will show us how we can attain unity as a
nation and how we can live in the commanded Blessing God
desires for us.
Jeremiah 1v12
“For I am watching over My Word to perform, manifest, bring
it to pass.”
Whenever we put our trust in and do things by the wise
counsel of The Word, we can be assured that God is watching
7
over His Word. God then takes ‘personal responsibility’ to
bring His Word’s outcomes into our lives.
South Africa; let’s unite – Unite around The Word of God and
vote accordingly so that the commanded blessing God has
for us will be enjoyed by all!

Chapter Two – Casting a Light
Hosea 4v6 – (Three different translations below)
“My people are ‘destroyed’ for a lack of knowledge.”
“My people ‘perish’ through a lack of knowledge.”
“My people ‘suffer’ because of a lack of knowledge.”
In this verse, God is explaining that we are destroyed,
perish, and suffer, because of a lack of knowledge. The
knowledge of God’s Way/s causes us to prosper and live a
life of abundance in all and for all. Let’s therefore get God’s
heart on who we are to vote for so that we ‘no longer perish.’
Ephesians 5v11
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful
even to speak of those things which are done by them in
secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made
manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
God loves all people unconditionally and the same. God has
no favourites but desires that all prosper. God, however,
hates, things that cause people to suffer and so He exhorts
us to expose darkness by casting a light on it so that light
can overcome the darkness.
Light/Truth dispels darkness and brings us to a prosperous
place.
For as long as we do not expose darkness, for that long, our
people will be destroyed, perish, and suffer.
9
2 Kings 7v9
9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right.
This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we
wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us.
Now, ‘therefore’, come, let us go and tell...”
God desires that we do not remain silent for punishment/
suffering will be the outcome. The good news of God’s Word,
and the commanded blessing it results in, are all the reasons
we need to ‘not remain silent’ but speak up. We are to speak
the light of God’s Word so that darkness, destruction, and
extreme suffering, can be overcome.
Ephesians 4v26
26 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on
your wrath, 27 nor give place to the devil.
In this Scripture, God is calling for us to be angry! The anger
that God is calling us to is righteous anger or indignation. It is
not one of violence. Righteous indignation is a godly trait. This
anger is an anger that 'takes a stance against' what is wrong. It
is an anger that exposes darkness by shining the light of the
truth on it. This anger ‘talks up.’
We are to be angry at the unrighteous practices of some, for
they are destroying the lives of our people.
We should never be comfortable with the suffering of the
innocent at the hands of the corrupt; never! If we truly love our
people, then it is impossible to remain silent!
In this Scripture God is saying that we are not to let the sun go
down on this anger; IE that these things are to keep us in a
state of perpetual anger. Our anger is only to cease after the
corrupt have been removed! The motive of our anger is to
unseat the corrupt and liberate the suffering.
10
This Scripture then describes that if we cease being angry, we
are sinning. This sin is 'giving place to the devil'. To give
place to the devil is to give him authority to steal, kill, and
destroy! Giving place to ‘the corrupt' gives them authority to
steal, kill, and destroy the lives of the innocent; IE the
60 000 000 people of our country.
John 10v10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, to kill, and to
destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may
have it more abundantly.
It is rather apparent as to who is at work in any situation!!
-
If our well-being is being ‘killed’, stolen from, and
destroyed it is the thief (devil) who is at work through a
government.
-
If we are living in a more than abundant life then it is
God who is at work through a government.
Matthew 7v15-20
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s
clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will
know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from
thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree
cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good
fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know
them.
Again, it is easy to know whether we are dealing with a false
person, or Governing Party – Their fruits display their true
identity and motive. They make bold, boasting promises but
never fulfil them – They are described as ravenous wolves.
11
The fruit, or result, of their governance, clearly tells us who
they truly are and what their real motives are. Wolves think
only of themselves. They ravenously feed off the innocent
and destroy their lives for their selfish gain. Wolves have no
mercy. To feed themselves they destroy others.
12
Chapter Three – It’s Our Choice
Deuteronomy 30v19
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against
you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and
cursing; therefore, choose life, that both you and your
descendants may live.
We get what we choose. We get what we vote for.
In the Scripture above God is clearly explaining that our
choices determine our outcomes.
God warns that there are two choices to be made in life. The
one choice leads to death and cursing, and the other to life
and blessings. God then encourages us to ‘make the right
choice’ of life and blessings.
God then advises that if we make the right choice then both
we and our descendants will live in God’s desire of blessings
and life for us.
Hosea 8v4
“They set up kings, but not by Me; ‘They’ made princes, but
I did not acknowledge them. From their silver and gold,
they made idols for themselves – That they may be cut off.”
This Scripture describes the following sequence of the
choices we make – Of the people we vote into power:
We set up kings, Presidents, people in office, Political
Parties, but not by Him; IE God does not approve of these
we have voted for, for they are bringing destruction and deep
suffering on the people.
13
We made princes: Presidents and Party assistants, but God
does not acknowledge them for the same reason that they
too are corrupted and destructive.
These use our (that due us) silver and gold (money/wealth)
for themselves; IE they steal it from the people and use it for
their selfish and corrupt gain; thereby impoverishing the
poor.
Proverbs 29v2 (Two different translations below)
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
When the righteous rule, the people prosper;
But when the unrighteous rule, the people suffer.
Again, we see the option of two choices as above:
1.
2.
When we vote for the righteous, we will prosper and
rejoice.
When we vote for the unrighteous, the wicked, we
will suffer and groan.
Proverbs 14v34
“Righteousness exalts a nation!”
Godly, righteous rulers exalt (lift high, lift to prosperity and
success) a nation.
We get what we vote for.
The choice is ours to determine but the outcome is ‘cast in
stone’; righteousness exalts, and unrighteousness results in
corruption and destruction.
14
Chapter Four – Setting up to Make Our Choice
Proverbs 24v3-4
3 Through wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
Aaaah, rooms ‘filled’ with all precious and pleasant riches!!
How do we get that? – By using wisdom and understanding –
By trusting God and His good ways that result in our
abundance!!
Proverbs 9v10
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”.
The word ‘fear’ is best translated as reverence, awe, regard,
and respect for God, and His good ways for us.
We are only in wisdom and understanding when we fear,
reverence, and trust the Lord for His goodness.
The starting point of fear, or reverence, of the Lord, is
described below:
Proverbs 8v13
“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.”
The fear, reverence, respect, and regard of the Lord are
described in the Scripture above. Below is its sequence:
15
−
−
−
−
We are to hate evil – Evil destroys the lives of the
innocent.
We are to hate pride and arrogance – Such persons
regard themselves only.
We are to hate the evil way – Evil ways lead to
destruction.
We are to hate a perverse mouth – A mouth that
promises one thing but delivers another thing. (A mouth
that promises prosperity but delivers poverty) - A forked
tongue.
−
−
A tongue motivated by hate, strife, division, and
bitterness.
[We are to hate the things God hates.]
Why does God HATE these traits – Because they result in the
suffering of many; of the peoples of a nation.
Daniel 12v3
Those who ‘are wise’ shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
−
−
The wise person is the one who trusts a good God to
always bless people who make godly choices.
These people are righteous, and because they love
people, they desire to ‘turn them’ to righteousness (God’s
blessed ways) so that their suffering may stop and
abundance may come upon them.
This is the heart motive of this book.
- To whom, and what, are we listening to?
Most of our mainstream NEWS is controlled and manipulated
NEWS. Most of our NEWS is filled with propaganda and
agendas.
16
Most of our mainstream NEWS is manipulated by the corrupt.
These tell you and I ‘what they want us to hear’, and edit out
what we should be hearing!
Whatever one is fed with is what one comes to believe. If we
are listening to the mainstream NEWS, we should know that
we are being deceived and lied to much all of the time.
End Time biblical prophecy cautions us profoundly of this
taking place! Scripture says that many will fall prey to strong
delusions, and deceit, and will believe the lies. We are
encouragingly cautioned to avoid such for they bring
destruction.
If we are listening to Christian-based NEWS we will get an
opposite view. Lies are being exposed and truth is being
released on these godly platforms.
Christian TV stations such as Faith TV, TBN, and Daystar
share the truth and expose lies. They are the NEWS stations
we should be listening to – They are stations that love people
and desire their success. They cast light on darkness by
exposing them and sharing the light.
- The Bible should always be our first Source of
reference.
Genesis 1v3
“And then God said.”
John 1v1
“In the beginning was The Word.”
In the Bible, there is a thing called – “The Law of First
Reference.” This law means that we are to refer to God firstly,
and foremostly, on all matters. God always has the counsel
that is for our good.
17
When we make decisions by the counsel of God’s Word
there is only ONE outcome – Blessings, Success, Joy,
Benefit, Gain, Prosperity for all.
Imagine the joy, success, and prosperity we as mankind
would be enjoying if we went to The Word in the beginning of
every area of our lives; of our nation!!
Let’s look at The Word for it too is a redresser of things. We
are never without hope for The Word is a restorer of broken,
even destroyed, things.
- Wise Counsel regarding Political Parties
Look at the Party Manifestos/Policies of all the Political
Parties and vote for the one whose Manifesto, and
Practices, are most closely aligned to Scripture.
This should be our ‘ONLY’ voting criteria when casting our
vote. Nothing else should influence our vote – We are voting
for God and that settles our vote – We cast our vote
according to Biblical Values, according to what represents
The Kingdom of Heaven.
We are ultimately voting for one of ‘two persons’ – God and/
or the devil. The One brings prosperity and blessings. The
other brings cursing, corruption, destruction, consequences,
and immense suffering.
It’s that clear-cut and straightforward!!
Below is a link to Political Party Manifestos/Policies. When
looking at these it becomes easy for those who desire
prosperity as to who we should be voting for. Most of the
Parties on the list are ungodly Parties. Their Manifestos are
unbiblical, they have policies that cannot work, policies that
have ‘always’ failed. They fail for The Word tells us that they
always bring failure.
18
Many of our current Parties are making ‘empty promises’.
Firstly, what they promise cannot be delivered and/or is
unsustainable.
Secondly, you will note that their promises do not line up with
their practices; IE they do not deliver on most all of their
promises. Check policy/manifesto, yet be sure to check
practices for we know things by their fruit.
Do not be deceived by the ‘vote rush’; IE the great ‘promises’,
the giving out of T-shirts and hampers, the walking through
the districts, the ‘warm’ smiles, the before-the-vote visits to
airports to welcome sportsmen, the deceit, and lies, etc, these
all happen ‘only’ a couple of months before the vote. Where
are these Parties for the remainder of the 4-year term of
office?
19
Chapter Five - The Root of ‘ALL’ Evil
1 Timothy 6v10
"The love of money is the root of 'all' evil."
Follow the money; find the evil.
This Scripture says that the root of ‘ALL’ Evil is the love of
money!
Money, in and of itself, is not Evil – It is the love of money that
is Evil.
You can discern rather quickly when evil is abounding –
Money will always be involved.
When money is involved, you will always find corruption and
destruction; always!
When money is the motivator therein lies the root of ‘ALL’ Evil.
This evil results in the suffering and groaning of the people.
This evil results in spiralling unemployment, hopelessness,
and alarming consequences.
20
Chapter Six
For hell’s sake who do 'we' vote for?
(For those who want to experience hell on earth)
For those of us who want to experience ‘HELL ON EARTH’
these are the traits of the Parties we should be voting for –
These will bring about ‘HELL ON EARTH’ for us!!
Proverbs 6v16-19
16 “These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, the 'seventh' is an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord/division among brethren.”
These are the seven destructive things that God Hates:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
A proud look.
A lying tongue.
Hands that shed innocent blood.
A heart that devises wicked plans.
Feet that are swift in running to evil.
A false witness who speaks lies.
One who sows discord – Is divisive and creates anarchy.
The above is the ‘wicked bouquet’ that always destroys the
innocent – we should hate these seven things as well for the
same reason – They destroy lives.
21
Isaiah 5v20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
This Scripture describes the status of our nation:
The Evil are lauded as good.
The Good are frowned upon and called Evil.
Proverbs 6v12-14
12 “A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13 He winks with his eyes,
He shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
14 Perversity is in his heart,
He devises evil continually,
He sows discord.”
The product/fruit of a worthless, and wicked man:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
He walks with a perverse mouth.
He winks his eyes.
He shuffles his feet.
He points with his fingers.
Perversity is in his heart.
He devises evil continually.
He sows discord; is divisive.
(I see ‘RED’ in all of these verses!!)
Psalm 14v1-6
“The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
22
2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of
men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity ‘no knowledge’,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call on the Lord?
5 There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.
6 You shame the counsel of the poor,
But the Lord is his refuge.”
God describes a fool as one who says there is no God –
One who dishonours God. We have a Party Leader/
Dictator, who openly mocks and blasphemes God. He says
He/we are Jesus and mocks those who are Christians. This
is a demonic manifestation.
This Party is the most dangerous of all the Parties in our
nation!!
What are the fruits, and practices, of this one that God calls
a fool?
−
They say there is no God – They undermine God/
Jesus and Christians.
−
−
−
−
They are corrupt.
They do abominable things.
They do no good.
They have turned aside.
Their practice affects the rest that are on board with them/
him; in their Party.
−
They ‘together’ have become corrupt.
23
−
There is ‘no one’ who does good – No, not one – The rot
has set in!
−
−
−
‘They’ eat up the people as they eat bread.
‘They’ do not call on the Lord.
God is with the righteous – Not the unrighteous. (God
has been removed by these God calls fools).
‘These together’ shame the counsel of the poor – The
poor suffer ‘because’ of them!!
−
Matthew 24v11-12
11
Then many false prophets will rise and deceive
many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of
many will grow cold.
−
−
Many, sadly, most prophets, those proclaiming matters,
are false; ungodly!
They ‘deceive many’ – They say things they either do not
intend to fulfil or do not have the capacity to fulfil.
These bring about lawlessness for it advantages them.
(They create anarchy and are divisive).
They do not function in love; IE they are selfish and not
selfless. They are for themselves at the expense of the
multitudes. They cause others to suffer so that they are
enabled to gain unethically.
−

John 8v44
44 You are of your father the devil and the desires of your
father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning
and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his
own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
This Scripture describes that liars are under the influence of
‘their father’ the devil. These are fulfilling the desires of the
devil. These have ‘no’ truth in them. Whenever these speak,
they lie.
24
Ephesians 6v12
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenly places.
The two verses above describe the nature and person of the
devil – He is a liar and the truth is not in him – He is the
father (source) of ALL lies!
As God works through people of truth the devil works
through people who lie – These people are under the devil’s
sway and ‘cannot’ but lie. Lying has become their very nature
– These liars open the door for the devil’s invasion.
Leave the devil to perpetrate his lies through those who have
yielded to him and only one thing can be the outcome. The
devil comes only to, steal, kill, and destroy!! – John 10v10.
People who are controlled by the devil and represent his lies
ultimately develop a hard, calloused, and impenitent heart.
They have almost always gone so far that there is no hope
for change within them!
These can only be ‘dealt’ with by judgement:
Romans 2v5
“But in accordance with your hard and impenitent heart, you
are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and
revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who “will
render to each one according to his deeds.”
Those who are evil and are causing the suffering of
multiplied millions will be judged by God one day – That is
not a position one wants to find oneself in!!
Hebrews 10v31
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.
25
Whilst God loves all people, He will judge and punish
those who have caused the suffering of multiplied millions
one day!!
Whilst these are ‘still’ on the earth we have to vote them
out of office; or suffer the growing consequences they
bring!!
−
Divisive Leaders and Political Parties.
Mark 3v25
“And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot
stand; it will fall”.
A politician who speaks hate and division is leading a
nation to fall. This Scripture says that we cannot stand if
division is in place. (Only unity commands a blessing –
Division commands a curse!)
Titus 3v10-11
10 Warn a divisive person once and then warn them a sec-
ond time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You
may be sure that such a person is ‘warped’ and ‘sinful’;
they are ‘self-condemned.’
This Scripture makes it clear that a divisive person must
be removed; we are to have nothing to do with them.
Should we leave these in place, destruction will be the
only outcome!
Verse 11 says – We can be sure that such a person is
warped and sinful; they are self-condemned!
Their condemnation will come on all if voted into power.
Proverbs 22v10
“Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife
and reproach will cease.”
26
A scoffer brings about contention and strife wherever he goes;
whenever he speaks whenever he addresses a crowd in a
stadium, whenever he speaks in parliament. He is referred to
as one who is a reproach. God advises that we are to cast
such a one out!
Hebrews 12v14-15
“14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which
no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall
short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing
up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled”.
A person filled with bitterness (the fruit of unforgiveness, pride,
hurt, hate; a poisoned or contaminated heart; a revengeful
heart) defiles many. Defiled means to poison others; IE to
cause others to suffer from the same venomous poison you
have in your wicked heart.
Proverbs 13v10
10 “Only by pride cometh contention”.
This Scripture says there is ‘ONE’ reason for contention –
Pride. Pride is self-seeking at the cost of others. Pride has a
power-mongering heart attached to it. It says it is for others
when it is for the use of others to the benefit of self. Leaders in
pride are Dictators with Marxist agendas.
Galatians 5v19-21
19
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which
are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry,
sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath,
selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,
drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you
beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
27
The above regrettably describes a vast number of our
Political Parties and their Leaders! These will not inherit the
Kingdom of God; IE they will not get the outcome that God
desires which is a prosperous life for all.
Galatians 6v8a
8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap
corruption.
Sowing to the flesh means to function in a way contrary to
God. Such Party Leaders bring about corruption – Have we
heard the word corruption and seen its practices cause the
suffering of multiplied millions in our nation??
1 John 2v18
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard
that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists
have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
In our day and age, in our nation, we have many who are
anti-Christ; IE anti the good outcomes Jesus desires for us.
These have agendas that are wicked and destructive.
On looking at the Manifestos/Policies of many of our Political
Parties I have named four below that will give us/are giving
us the outcomes that the above chapter describes will be
ours – Destruction, Poverty, Hardship, and Suffering!!
Accordingly, if we want ‘HELL ON EARTH’ we are to vote
for these. What, and who we vote for will give us a decided/
guaranteed outcome.
I have graded these Parties according to their Manifesto/
Policies, and Practices. I have graded them against
godliness/biblical alignment. The lower the percentage the
further these Parties are from being godly Parties, from
having godly values and practices. The further they are from
God the closer they are to the devil.
28
Hosea 8v4
“They set up kings, but not by Me; They made princes, but I
did not acknowledge them. From their silver and gold, they
made idols for themselves – That they may be cut off.”
EFF 2% Their Leader openly scorns and mocks God!!
He is racist, filled with hate, venom, anarchy,
murder, destruction, and division!!
Their Leader is a Dictator and a Marxist.
His Party Members ‘fear him.’
Scripture clearly defines such a one as a fool!
The EFF is by far the Party whose Policies are
furthest removed from Biblical Wisdom and
Counsel.
Their Policies never have and never will work!
This is failure waiting to happen!!
The EFF will totally sink this nation within two
years!!
They are a danger to the 60 000 000 people of
our precious nation!!
ANC 19% What a tragic and forgettable story!!
MK 25% Graded according to the past practices of their
Leader/s.
DA
35% Best of a bad bunch.
Vote for these Parties and we are voting ‘against
God’ and for the devil and his destructive agendas.
29
Chapter Seven
For heaven's sake who do 'we' vote for?
(For those who want to experience heaven on earth)
For those of us who want to experience ‘HEAVEN ON
EARTH’ these are the traits of the Parties we should be
voting for – These will bring about ‘HEAVEN ON EARTH’ for
us!!
Daniel 11v32b
“… the people who know their God shall be strong and carry
out great exploits/shall do mighty deeds”.
Political Parties and Leaders who know their God are those
who will do mighty and wonderful exploits/deeds.
Such Parties and Leaders will bring prosperity to the nation.
These are Parties, and Leaders, who are for the people and
not for themselves.
These are selfless and not selfish Leaders.
These Leaders have ‘your’ interest at heart.
These are ‘God ordained’ Leaders and Parties.
These are humble and not prideful Leaders.
These are Parties and Leaders we can place much trust in.
Psalm 78v72
So, David led them ‘according to’ the integrity of his heart,
and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
30
Aaaah, to have a Leader who has integrity of heart!!
Aaaah, to have a Leader of godly skilful hands!
Only a godly Leader, and/or Party has such potential!!

What Government are we to submit to?
Romans 13v1-7
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For
there is no authority except from God, and the authorities
2
that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists
the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who
3
resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not
a terror to good works, ‘but’ to evil. Do you want to be
unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will
4
have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to
you ‘for’ good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does
not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an
avenger to execute wrath on him ‘who’ practices
5
evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of
6
wrath but also for conscience’ sake. For because of this
you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending
continually to this very thing.
We are ‘only’ to submit to a Political Party and/or Leader
who is there for the good and against that which is evil.
This Party, or Leader, is authorised by God to execute wrath
on those who practice evil; those who are corrupt and
bringing about devastation.
Romans 13:1-7 explained further: -
A Government has been authorized by God ‘for’ the praise
of well-doers ‘and’ the punishment of evil-doers.
31
Government is to be a minister of God to the people for good.
It is important to understand that it is the concept of
Government that has been established by God, and ‘not’
every kind of Government or leader!!
Government has a God-ordained purpose but not every
Government and every leader is from God. God does not
raise ungodly Governments or ungodly leaders. God
desires that Governments are to be a tool for good and not
evil.
We are then exhorted to pay taxes for this very same reason –
That the Government would use these taxes for good and that
they would use them to punish the evildoers.
Taxes are not given for the corrupt to indulge themselves in.
Taxes are given to protect and promote the good.
Taxes are not given to be channelled into the bank accounts of
the corrupt, but to be used for good; for the well-being of the
people.
Taxes are not given to promote and feed “State Capture,
off-shore bank accounts, and the like.”
1 Peter 2v13-14 shares much the same principle: -
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's
sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Or unto Governors, as unto them that are sent by Him ‘for’
the punishment of evildoers, and ‘for’ the praise of them
that do well.
We regrettably have a government that is doing the exact
opposite in our nation; the good are being punished and the
evildoers are being pardoned/praised/promoted! The good are
suffering and the evildoers are prospering.
32
We have been praising/promoting the evil and punishing/
demoting the good in our nation for at least 17 years now;
since 2007 – Remember Polokwane?

Forgive so that Prosperity can be ours
Genesis 41v50-52
50 And to Joseph were born two sons… 51 Joseph called the
name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me
forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” 52 And the name
of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to
be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
We note a two-step process to Joseph's remarkable
success and prosperity in these verses: -
1) Step One - Joseph ‘forgot all' the toil and hardship of
his past, IE the meaning of his first son Manasseh's
name – Joseph forgave all of those who caused him
extreme suffering and did him wrong. This was his first
necessary step to success.
2) Step Two - God ‘then’ caused Joseph to be fruitful in
the very land of his persecution, IE the meaning of his
second son Ephraim's name. Forgiveness then led to
Joseph’s prosperity and success.
−
God causes and ensures fruitfulness in the lives and
nation of those who forgive and forget their bad past.
Forgiveness precedes fruitfulness. We must forgive, even
in the most difficult, challenging, and hurtful situations, if we
are ever going to be fruitful. Unforgiveness keeps us in a
prison of failure and bondage that we cannot escape.
33
Philippians 3v13b-14a
“…but this ‘one’ thing I do, ‘forgetting’ those things which are
behind and reaching ‘forward’ to those things which are
ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus".
Paul, the great apostle, describes the same principle that
resulted in his success in this portion of scripture. First, he
needed to forget the things behind him 'before' he could
reach forward to those successful things ahead of, and for,
him.
Paul did some hateful things and had many evil things done
to him. He had to learn to both forgive himself and to forgive
others. Paul knew that he could not go forward until he forgot
all of his past firstly. He could not have success until he
forgave both himself and those who did him great wrong.
The first step to going forward is to forgive and forget the
past.
Hebrews 11v15
15 And truly ‘if’ they had called to mind that country from
which they had come out, they ‘would have’ had opportunity
‘to’ return.
We cannot take the opportunity to go backwards. We have to
leave certain things behind us so that we can move into
prosperity.
We cannot go forward looking backwards – It is a biblical
impossibility.
34
Jesus Himself forgave mankind of ALL their sins. He then
chose to forget ALL of mankind’s sins. On this basis only
could God ‘move forward’ with mankind. Forgiving and
forgetting always precede prosperity – Without forgiving
and choosing to forget prosperity never comes!
Every successful Leader in Scripture had to have had the
same heart as expressed above.
−
David forgave Saul and refused the opportunity to take
revenge.
−
Joshua honoured Moses and displayed a remarkable
heart of continual forgiveness despite being in the desert
for 40 years.
John 3v16
“For God so loved the world that He GAVE…”
A heart of love gives its very best in the worst of all situations
– God gave His very, very best to undeserving people to set
them free. God gave us Jesus!!!
For God sooooooo loved that He GAVE – Love always
considers the best for others.
Love has one motive in mind – How can I be a blessing to
others? – How can I give my best in the worst situations? –
How can I be used for the benefit and gain of others? – How
can I serve others?
Matthew 20v28
“Jesus came to serve, and not to be served.”
35
This is one of the most humbling Scriptures in all of the Bible
to me!! Jesus came to serve; IE He existed expressly for my/
your benefit, advantage, and gain!! Jesus did not come for His
benefit, advantage, and gain. Jesus did not do what He did for
Himself but for you and I. Jesus was not in it ‘for Himself.’
Jesus was in it for ‘you and I.’
Romans 1v11
“For I long to be with you that I may impart some good
gift ‘For Your Good’.
(This is the founding Scripture of our Ministry – “For YOUR
Good Ministries”. We, as is the case with Jesus, and Paul the
Apostle, exist for your good. The entire motive of this book is
for your good; for the good of our nation – It is for this reason
alone that I write this book.
Proverbs 14v34
“Righteousness exalts a nation!”
Amos 5v24
“But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Galatians 5v22
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and
self-control.
Look for these fruits in the one you vote for!!
Galatians 6v8b
8 For He who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit
reap everlasting life.
36
A Leader, or Party, with these traits will cause us to reap
‘everlasting life!!’
Please look up the Manifestos/Policies and practices of the
below Parties. You will find that these in varying degrees
are of the most biblically aligned Parties for us to consider.
(There are other Christian Parties to consider – Check out
their Manifestos/Policies and consider these as options too).
We need to vote for a Party whose Manifesto/Policies and
Practices are the closest to the Bible!!
Here is a list of four Parties that have a substantial Biblical
alignment in their Manifestos/Policies, and Practices.
ACDP
A great godly Party with a wonderfully godly
Leader!!!
Action SA A great option to consider – Believe they have
learned the hard way not to get into ungodly
coalitions – Very fond of their Leader!!
OHM
A new Party with exceptional Policies! A great
option to consider!!
FF/VF
A great option to consider!!
Mogeong What a godly man; what a man of integrity; a
Mogeong
man with a heart for God and people!! – Pray he
comes forward as a candidate; or heads up and
leads a godly coalition!!
37
Chapter Eight - New Beginnings
So, our beloved South Africa; we go to the Polls soon. What’s
it going to be; HEAVEN OR HELL?!?
It’s up to us – We will get one of the two!!
2 Corinthians 6v14-16a
14 “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And
what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord
has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an
unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God
with idols?”
We cannot be yoked with the unrighteous, with Belial (the
devil), and expect anything other than corruption, destruction,
poverty, pain, and suffering!
It is said that our nation is 80% Christian. Imagine if every
Christian voted on one basis, and one basis only – Is the
Party or Leader godly; are they Christian? Do they have a
heart for the people? Do they exist expressly for the benefit,
advantage, and gain of the people!? Are they people of
integrity? Are they honest? Do their Manifestos/Policies align
with the Bible?
Hosea 8v4
“They set up kings, but not by Me; They made princes, but I
did not acknowledge them. From their silver and gold, they
made idols for themselves – That they may be cut off.”
Let’s go cast our vote South Africa = HEAVEN OR HELL ON
EARTH will be its result!!
38
Love you deeply South Africa. Praying we will vote for
righteousness so that our nation can be exalted; so that the
deplorable suffering may end!!!
Vote before God, for God, and the benefit of our precious
people!!
Amos 5v24
“But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Daniel 11v32b
“The people who know their God shall be strong and carry
out great exploits/shall do mighty deeds”.
Proverbs 29v2 (Two different translations below)
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
When the righteous rule, the people prosper;
But when the unrighteous rule, the people suffer.
Proverbs 14v34
“Righteousness exalts a nation!”
South Africa – Let’s exalt you!! Let’s have you as a world
leader!!
