Is God saying
something to South Africa through the Rugby World Cup of 2023?
What is the prophetic
meaning of 111?
Is God speaking to us through the RWC2023?
We beat France by 1 point.
We beat England by 1 point.
We won World Cup by 1 point.
That's 111 RIGHT?
FRANCE SCORE WAS 29-28
ENGLAND SCORE WAS 16- 15
NEW ZEALAND SCORE WAS 12-11
THIS ADDS UP TO 111?
THE REFEREE STOOD IN HIS 111th
GAME.
The numeric value of the word
Springbok is 111
This was a message that did
the rounds not to long after the Springboks beat New Zealand in the Rugby World
Cup final of 2023. God speaks in many ways to His children, and it is up to us
to have ears that hear. He never has to speak in the same way to us. When our
hearts are connected to His, we will quickly learn that our God is not silent
after all. He speaks to us all the time in different ways.
Numbers in the Bible also play
a very significant role in the Word and very often contains special prophetic
messages hidden for those hungry enough to listen. Throughout the duration of
the rugby world cup 2023 I had a sense that God is involved, and He is going to
use this world cup for His glory. I even felt a sense that it was God’s plan
for SA to win.
Summary thought.
Just in a general sense I
believe God gave South Africa a clear prophetic message. Many of these games
can be debated on a few decisions that could have gone either way, or the other
team was the better team on the night, but somehow the Boks managed to come out
on top, just! South Africa has been on God’s heart for many years now and He
has released Word over our nation that still has to come to pass. One such Word
is that a very Powerful move of God will start in the south of Africa and then
move north into the rest of the continent and nations; just to put it in short.
The nations will come to South Africa to see what the living God is doing!
But unfortunately, if you look
at our country now, unemployment is as high maybe as it has ever been; crime is
at an all-time high with more murders happening in South Africa in a day than
in a war zone like the Russia/Ukraine war; corruption is the norm from top to
bottom and cripples the economy; Our government took Israel to court and publicly
aligned itself with terrorists and Islam. This list can go on and on and on.
In short, we DO NOT deserve
the mercy and goodness of God in this nation. BUT GOD! God is a great Father
and He is always true to His Word. The message in short, I believe is that God
will come through for South Africa because of Him! No man will take the glory.
The battle might be tight and hard, but when God spoke it, nothing and no one can
stop Him.
Do not lose hope!
Do not back down!
Keep the faith!
Declare God’s Word!
Jesus will be glorified in South
Africa!
What does 111 represent in the Bible?
The word "father,"
usually written in the New Testament as a reference to God the Father, is
recorded 111 times in John's gospel. Interestingly, it is also found 11 times
in the book of Acts. To conclude, this number represents leadership, independence,
spiritual energy, awakening, intuition, and uniqueness.
111 can also be the
combination of numbers.
100 + 11
·
100: Abundant
return
·
11: Inner
conflict, Rebellion, Faithfulness, Occultation, Fertilisation.
·
We will reap what we have sown. So it can be
God saying that we will now face what we have sown in the past; those who have
sown in the flesh and lived entirely for themselves, will reap abundantly in
inner conflict, witchcraft etc. But to those who have been faithful to God, God
will fertilise them so that He can birth a fresh move of God through them.
·
What does this mean for SA? The gap between
life and death will become clearer. The church will grow stronger and more
glorious as the wicked will suffer from their actions in the hope that they too
shall repent.
110 + 1
· 110: It’s
the number of Eldaah, the last son of Midian which means God has called or to
know God. It can also mean a long life.
·
1: Unity,
Beginning, Uniqueness, Single-mindedness, Independence, Evil one.
·
What I got from this is that God is releasing
into His church the “single-mindedness” to only have eyes for Him. All
distractions are to be removed so that we can behold Him. We will also enjoy a
deeper union and fellowship with our Creator and the body of Christ.
·
God is making Himself known to those who want
to truly know Him.
·
This union will result in the church to awake
to her true calling and step into it.
·
There will be shifts in this season with
regards to direction that will reposition God’s people to walk in their divine
calling with great authority.
· There is also an element of healing that I
sense as I type this. Signs and wonders will follow the sons of God walking in
their calling. It will be witnessed more and more as Jesus wants to make Himself
known to the lost.
· Whatever the details in the call, it will resonate
to bring in a great harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God.
Conclusion
In short, I can conclude that
God is working in South Africa. Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear,
let them see and listen to the Spirit of God. Those who walk in the flesh, will
reap in the flesh. God’s church is about to reconcile, heal, unite, forgive,
repent, rise in Power and walk like Jesus have walked.
This is a crucial time for
South Africa. Will we turn to God? The world cup almost became a distant memory
and I have delayed more and more to type this word. Then God reminded me about
His seriousness by letting South African middleweight MMA fighter, Drikus Du
Plessis, win the world title in his division also with one point. God is awake
and faithful to His Word and covenant with South Africa.
The great African awakening
has begun!
What did God say to you?
Please feel free to share with us. These are only a few thoughts on the message
that we felt God is sharing with us for our country. Holy Spirit speaks to all
of us so when you share your piece of the puzzle, we get a clearer picture of
God’s message for us.
Below are some Scriptures we
worked through regarding the number 111. They too contain powerful encouraging
words from our Father. Be blessed!
Scriptures:
Exodus 11:1
11 And the Lord said
to Moses, “I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. Afterward
he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he
will surely drive you out of here altogether.
- · God will free South Africa from the demonic
government and stronholds!
Joshua 1:11
11 “Pass
through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for
yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go
in to possess the land which the Lord your
God is giving you to possess.’”
· The church must prepare and
be ready for when God wants to move.
· How are we preparing for God’s
promises?
· Three days before we move
also speaks about our new creation life in Christ. Jesus was three days in the
grave and then He resurrected. We died with Him on the cross so that we can
also be resurrected with Him in Glory! (Romans6:4)
2 Samuel 11:1
11 It
happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to
battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all
Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But
David remained at Jerusalem.
· We cannot be silent anymore!
We need to engage in battle! Those who do not engage in the battle will fall into
temptation!
1 Kings 11:1
1 But King
Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh:
women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites
· History tells us that
this was the fall of Israel. We cannot have idols in our lives anymore! May God
be our first love again and deliver us from all unrighteousness in Jesus Name!
· May Jesus also deliver us
from all un-Godly ties/covenants/ etc that tries to maintain worldly peace
through compromise. We need to confront all lying demon spirits and know that
true peace can only be found in Christ.
2 Chronicles 1:11
11 Then God
said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches
or wealth or honour or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long
life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My
people over whom I have made you king—
· This was Solomons
greatest victory! The Spirit of Wisdom (Proverbs 8 amongst others) was what helped
Solomon to bring God’s Kingdom/Government into his nation. South Africa, we
will desperately need God’s Wisdom to help us in this nation!
· Wisdom only comes when our
hearts are aligned to the will of God, and not our own agendas, no matter how
good they seem. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom!
Psalm 111
Praise to God for His Faithfulness and Justice
111 Praise the Lord!
I will praise the Lord with my whole
heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the
congregation.
· We need to praise Jesus
corporately as a family.
2 The
works of the Lord are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
· Testify to each other on
what the Lord has done for us.
3 His work is honorable
and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be
remembered;
The Lord is gracious
and full of compassion.
· Set
up altars of testimony to the Lord. Let no one forget, even the generations to
come, on what the Lord has done for us.
5 He has given food to those who fear
Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
6 He has declared to His people the
power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The
works of His hands are verity and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
8 They stand fast forever and ever,
And are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
Holy and awesome is His name.
10 The fear
of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His
commandments.
His praise endures forever.
· There are too many keys
and truths in this chapter to mention here!
· In short, praise the Lord
South Africa! He is worthy!
· Jesus is faithful!
Isaiah 11:1
11 There shall
come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a
Branch shall grow out of his roots.
· I believe we will walk in
greater revelation of the Spirits of God in this time. I mentioned Wisdom just
now. There’s more! Who will seek?
Jeremiah 1:11-12
11 Moreover
the word of the Lord came
to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
12 Then
the Lord said to me, “You
have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”
· God is
waiting for us! We must not wait for Him; we need to prepare the Way for our
King!
· Those
who truly have a personal relationship with Jesus will hear from Him first and
see the times of the seasons in what God is busy establishing in our midst.
Mark 1:11
11 Then a
voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased.”
· Are we secure in our
identity as sons of God?
Luke 11:1
11 Now it
came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one
of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
· Holy Spirit is teaching
us to pray and intercede like Jesus in this season for our nation and His
people.
· Do we have a teachable
spirit in order for Holy Spirit to teach us?
John 1:11
11 He came
to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
· This is so deep and
scary! Lord, please deliver us from the religious spirits!
· Lord, may we not be offended
by you when you pour out Your Spirit in our midst!
· May we truly know Jesus and
not only know about Him. Big difference!
· Sanctify our hearts to be
open to You Jesus.
Romans 1:11
11 For I
long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you
may be established—
· Discipleship and
impartation are vital in this season.
· Disciples of Jesus, not organizations!
· If God is focusing on
the foundational truths in His Word in this time (Hebrews 6:1-2), does it not
mean He wants to build something?
· How solid is the
foundation of the church in South Africa?
Ephesians 1:11
11 In Him
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the
purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
· God is
faithful to His covenant with us. What is that covenant? (Hebrews 8:7 – 13).
- · What
is the Spiritual inheritance God has for South Africa? Do we even know!? Have
we prayed into it?
- · Inheritance
is a gift, not a reward…
- · Are we
truly positioned in Christ? Not theologically, but in reality?
- · God’s
will or man’s will for South Africa? We as the church must decide.
- · Have
we consulted with and obeyed the council in Heaven regarding God’s will for us?
- · All
these are for those who seek more and are willing to pray into these keys.
Seek, and you WILL find…
2 Thessalonians 1:11
11 Therefore
we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling,
and fulfil all the good pleasure of His goodness and the
work of faith with power,
· We need to surrender to
Jesus and present ourselves as living sacrifices before Him. The fire baptism
is necessary to purify and cleanse us.
· We need to walk in Godly
character at all times!
· Can God enjoy the fruit
of the church in South Africa (Fruits of the Spirit), or are we rotten (fruits
of the flesh)?
Hebrews 11:1
11 Now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen.
- · Do we
believe God’s Word above the news and realities of our circumstances?
- · Walk
by faith, not by sight!
2 Peter 1:11
11 for so
an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
· God will open doors for
us in this season in order to move, even when we have come to a dead end!
3 John 11
11 Beloved, do
not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of
God, but he who does evil has not seen God.
· Walk in the Spirit, and
do not engage in warfare in the flesh.
Revelation 1:11
11 saying,
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you
see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are
in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to
Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
· God is speaking to His church
in this time with prophetic messages.
· Be careful of the false
messengers! Test every message with the Word of God and Holy Spirit.
· He is unveiling us in
this time so that we can behold Him. In other words, He is removing all the
lies that we believe about who Jesus truly is.
· There are many images and
opinions on who Jesus is or was. But there is only one Christ. He is not just a
man or prophet or so. He is not a baby in a merger anymore. He is not on the
cross nor is He in the grave. Jesus is God Almighty and we will know Him as the
resurrected King of kings and Lord of Lords.
Revelation 11:1
11 Then I
was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood,
saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who
worship there.
· God is judging His church
in this time. This is a good judgement as it delivers us from everything that
is not us in Him, to put it briefly. Repentance!
· We are the temple of God as
He abides in us. Our lives will be measured. John 15 says we will be cut!
Either pruned as a reward of having fruit, or for all the areas in our lives
where we live in the flesh and need a fresh fire baptism. He will remove our transgressions
and iniquities from us.
· The altar I believe
speaks about our works. Are we Kingdom of God builders or are we hiding our
talents and responsibilities? Are we building God’s Kingdom or our own?
· “Those who worship there”
for me speaks on the body of Christ. Are we united and engaged as being part of
one body, or are we doing our own thing? This is more a corporate judgment.
Worship is way more than the slow songs on a Sunday! Worship is sacrifice and a
lifestyle. Everything we do is worship to something or someone. I pray it is
only Jesus! Do all things unto the Lord.
· "Those who worship there”
can also indicate towards our impact in our communities or places of influence.
Are we an ambassador for Jesus in every area of our lives?
