A Word to South African Believers

You need to understand your responsibility to France and its people

Dear Brother / Sister

As South Africans we have inherited a rich Christian heritage due to the faithful perseverance of especially our French Huguenot ancestors that came to South Africa almost 300 years ago.

Today the country of France displays a severe lack in spiritual life and truth. Most of her inhabitants are non-religious, atheistic and lost. (Less than 0,8% of the French population are born-again Christians. The Muslims make out 7,7% of the population).

France once violently rejected the revival fire of God that came through the Huguenots in the 16^th and 17^th centuries. Due to their unwillingness to embrace the work of God’s Spirit, most of the nations of the world (including the USA, Canada, England, Netherlands, Germany, and South Africa) were blessed by the spiritually rich Huguenot exiles.

We are in a time that God is calling the French back to Him as He desires to see France fulfil her end time kingdom purposes. France is a key nation in the European Union and historically has had a global influence. 

It is time for us as French descendants and those that benefited from their spiritual heritage to invest back into our roots so that Gods salvation can once again invade France and Europe as a whole.

God sent a small group of Huguenots (approx. 300) to the Southern tip of Africa. This group made out one sixth of the European population in the Cape at the end of the 16^th century and has had a profound influence and contribution on South African history. Their impact was felt in spiritual, economical, agricultural, political and scientific spheres. 

We believe God’s purpose with bringing this group of Huguenots to Africa was to save a remnant that could later go back and possess their godly inheritance.

We have a responsibility towards our bloodlines and being French descendants places us in a unique position where we have the positional authority to work and pray for the French people and nation.

The planting of God in France was destroyed and though the root has grown old in the ground, by the Spirit ability of God we are able to bring it back to life.

Job 14:7-9

⁷ “For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease. ⁸ Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground, ⁹ Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.

We believe that the Huguenots are a New Testament picture of the Jews, and that the seed of the Huguenots need to return to France in order to possess their godly inheritance that is rooted in France.

Rom 11:12 (AMP)
"Now if their stumbling (their lapse, their transgression) has so enriched the world [at large]

and if [France’s] failure means such riches for the gentiles. Think what enrichment

and greater advantage will follow their reinstatement!"
