It’s Time Pretoria – prayers for South Africa

Although organisers could not yet give an estimate as to how many people attended the event, there were less than the millions expected.

Thousands of people gathered on Saturday for the It’s Time Pretoria event held at the Rhino Park airfield outside Tshwane.

Well-organised traffic control made it possible for the masses to make the journey without too many delays on the roads.

People from all corners of the country and even as far as Namibia, made the trek to the airfield.

Although organisers could not yet give an estimate as to how many people attended the event, there were less than the millions expected.

Many people walked for several kilometres from the massive parking terrain to the event grounds, where they gather around several screens as well as the main stage set up on the airfield.

Praise and worship songs were sang as they waited for the main event, when popular Christian speaker Angus Buchan would take the stage.

Buchan prayed for South Africans and spoke about droughts, crime and land.

He said people should not leave their country, unless God tells them to.

“This land belongs to God. God gave us this land,” he said.

He said that people should pray for wisdom for the government to manage the issue in line with God’s will.

Buchan touched on other subjects such as corruption and education praying for “equal opportunities for all South Africans”.

He quoted the Bible verse, Mark 14:38, “Watch and pray lest you fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.”

“We need to start walking in the Spirit, we need to start seeing those things which the Lord has shown us. The things that we can only see through faith, and not through carnal eyes,” he said.
