Solution only with God

Nobody in his or her right mind can deny that all is not well in the state of South Africa and thus also in the Free State province. Far too much poverty, unemployment, crime, corruption, etc. witness against any such denial. As a matter of fact, the country, the province and also the capital city is at a crisis point.

So far the hosting of the Soccer World Cup in SA has gone off well and people are jubilant about it. The country is getting good accolades from the outside world.

Granted, much to rejoice about, but whom do we thank it for? To whom should the World Cup success be attributed?

As for the Free State Business Bulletin, we know for sure no person or human effort could be credited for the World Cup hosting success so far. The fact is that many Christians have prayed in sincerity and faith to God the Father of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit for a successful and peaceful hosting. This God, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, has mercifully granted the blessed World Cup hosting up to here. To Him all the gratitude and glory.

For all things are from Him, by Him, and for Him. Glory belongs to Him for ever. Amen. - Romans 11:36

With God through Jesus Christ lies the only solution for South Africa on its way henceforward - and also for the Free State as it is now seeking to implement a new economic development strategy.

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. - John 10:9
