The Nations Are His Focus

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him (Acts 10:38).

Some things happen by God’s choice. When they do, they’re often no human ways of explaining them. Only through the Scriptures do we discover the reason He does such things. In 2 Chronicles 9, for example, the Queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame and came to Jerusalem to see for herself.

When she arrived, she was stunned! She asked every question she could think of and was left amazed at Solomon’s wisdom, his responses, and the many things she saw. This prompted her to extol God’s divine love for His people: “Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice” (2 Chronicles 9:8).

God made Solomon the king of Israel because He loved Israel. He chose a man that He loved (2 Samuel 12:24), and made him the king of a people He loved. So, Israel was His focus.

It brings to mind something the Lord told me years ago; He said the number one thing He wanted me to do was to take healing to the nations. The nations were His focus—the rendezvous of broken humanity—the sick, the weak, and all those who had become incapacitated due to sickness and disease. He loved them. His focus was on them to bring them healing and health.

And thanks be unto God that He created the platforms and opportunities for us to reach them through the Healing Streams Live Healing Services. Previous editions have seen billions of participants from nations receive healing from chronic ailments in real-time, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for bringing healing, strength, and vigor to the sick and causing them to walk in the finished works of Christ. You’ve made me a light in a dark world, and my light shines ever so brightly. I walk in your glory and perfection, manifesting your righteousness and exercising the dominion of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Sechaba Pali Back on The Scene

Following a hiatus from the music scene due to alleged mistreatment by his record label, South African gospel artist Sechaba Pali is making a comeback to the scene.

In a heartwarming show of support, Gospel music legends Dr. Rebecca Malope and Sipho Makhabane accompanied him on stage as he made his first public appearance of the year, at the Love Show concert held at the Mmabatho Convention Center.

In a video shared on her social media pages, Dr. Rebecca Malope expressed her joy at Sechaba’s return, saying, “The theme of the show was to show love, and that’s what exactly me and @smakhabs did for our beloved son @sechaba_pali. It’s great to have you back. I know your fans missed you. We are proud of you. Welcome back Sechaba. You will always have our support.”

Sechaba had previously spoken out about the difficulties he faced with his record label, which had a negative impact on his mental health and music career. In an interview with SABC, he shared, “…My music career was supposed to be a calling, how does it end up destroying me…They killed me, they destroyed me.”

The news of Sechaba’s return to the music industry was met with excitement from his fans. Many took to the comment section to express their delight at hearing his voice again after such a long hiatus. Truly if God has blessed you with something no person or anything can take it away from you, no matter the matter it’s yours even in trouble it’s still with you because it’s your God-given gift.

The show of support from Dr. Rebecca Malope and Sipho Makhabane demonstrated the power of unity among artists, even during difficult times. It is a testament to the importance of supporting fellow artists in their struggles, as they navigate the often-challenging music industry.

The Legendary African Gospel Queen

Dr. Rebecca Malope, famously known as “The African Queen of Gospel,” has been in the music industry for over three decades, and her music has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, making her one of the best-selling gospel artists of all time. She has released 36 albums to date, most of which have reached multi-platinum status.

Born in Lekazi near Neslpruit in Mpumalanga on the 30th of June 1968, Malope’s early years were marked by an illness that confined her to a wheelchair. However, she overcame this challenge and went on to sing hymns in her local church with her sisters. She later joined a gospel group as a teenager, which eventually led her to Johannesburg, where she was discovered by producer Sizwe Zakho.

Malope began her musical career in 1984, and in 1987, she won the Shell Road to Fame competition in the Female Vocalist category with her gospel song “Shine On,” which was dedicated to political unrest during apartheid in South Africa. Her career struggled to take off at first as she was given a recording contract that excluded gospel music, but with the help of Zakho, Malope’s debut album, Sthembele Kuwe, included one gospel song that became more popular than the pop songs on the album.

In 1992, Malope released her first full gospel album, Rebecca Sings Gospel, which was widely acclaimed and sold over one million copies. She has continued to release gospel albums and has won several awards, including the Coca-Cola Full Blast Music Show Best Established Local Artist award and Best Contemporary Gospel Album at the first South African Music Awards.

Malope has hosted her own syndicated television show, It’s Gospel Time, and was a judge on the Clash of Choirs South Africa show in 2013. She has also received an honorary doctorate from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and University of California. President Cyril Ramaphosa has awarded Rebecca Malope, a renowned South African gospel singer, with the Order of Ikhamanga for her contribution to South African music. The award is the highest honor granted for achievements in the arts, culture, literature, music, journalism, and sports in South Africa. Malope is married to businessman Themba Tshabalala.
