Our Time to Rise: A Call to the Unbroken.

We have long been shamed. Told to endure, to remain silent, to be “tolerant.” We have been taught that cooperation and weakness are the same, that forbearance is a virtue even when it threatens our kin, our community, or our heritage.

We have been taught that the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers”, call us to silence. That waiting, doing nothing, is virtuous.

But look around you. Look at the world being left to us. Destructive forces and corrosive ideologies advance, while we are held back by a propagandized doctrine of passivity. While we are lectured into accepting a counterfeit version of love, one imposed through the distortions of left-wing ideology, we keep our attention fixed on historical guilt, even as we realise that those who do harm have embraced a morality built on weakness.

While we wait, it moves forward, thriving in the spaces left void by our silence. While bound by a false sense of virtue, violence rises, corruption spreads, and threats against our kin, our heritage, and our way of life multiply. Each moment of hesitation strengthens those who wish to see our nation diminished and our culture erased.

Yes, God commands us to be peacemakers. He calls us to live in peace where peace is possible. But He also strengthens the hands of His servants for the work of justice. He does not ask us to stand idle while wrongdoing prevails.

Our first duty is not to the world. It is not to the sway of global powers, nor to the judgment of distant nations. Our first duty is to our own people, to our family, to the nation we inherit, and to the culture that shaped us.

We have been taught that patience and submission are virtues. But what of the virtues of courage and loyalty? What of the virtues that compel us to stand, even in fear?

The passive sleeper, the one who merely sits and waits, is a disgrace. Ronald Reagan captured this truth perfectly when he said: “Everyone wants peace. But peace at what cost?”

Every generation has its moment to choose, a time to rise or fall. Reagan’s generation faced its moment, and the world watched to see who would have the courage to stand. Now it is our moment. It is our turn to decide: will we answer the call of courage and responsibility, or refuse to cast away the shackles of fear and apathy?

While we wait and endure, we have empowered those who seek the fall of the Western world. We have allowed others, driven by agendas that do not serve our people, to thrive, while the Afrikaner falls, plunged into poverty, abuse, and politically fuelled attacks. The data is clear: farm attacks, assaults, economic marginalization, and abandoned communities tell the story.

Even within the church, irony and betrayal are plain to see. Large sums (R250,000 to be exact) are sent abroad, while our own people suffer in silence or perish. Faithful, God-fearing men and women are condemned as “non-Christians” or “false believers” simply for defending the values that preserve Western culture, faith, heritage, and our way of life. It is a tragedy that even the house of faith fractures, over principles that should unite us.

Since 1994, land reform and political deceit have been imposed upon us. Empty promises of equality and just redistribution are laid bare as deceit, a promise never meant to be kept. Violence, bombings, and political assassinations have reshaped our landscape, often driven by those in power, leaving chaos in their wake.

We are taught to bear the sins of our fathers, to carry the guilt of the past. But what of the sins of those living in the present? What of the corruption, the lies, the destructive agendas not of our making, fuelled by our own leaders and the politics that continue to govern us? We are told to forgive, yet forgiveness without memory, without just reckoning, is nothing more than betrayal of ourselves and our people.

When the Maritz Rebellion erupted in 1914, Afrikaners did not retreat into silent submission. With faith and prayer, they strengthened their bond with God as they entered the field of moral steadfastness.

It was a time when our people were God-fearing and strong. Fear did not paralyze them but gave them purpose. They understood that true strength does not lay in oppression, but in the kind of prayer and faith that guided their actions.

We long for peace. But peace without virtue and courage is an illusion. Peace and freedom that is not defended and seized with courage, is nothing more than empty hope, powerless against the tide of decay.

It is time to rise unashamed and unbroken. Not recklessly permissive or naïve, but steadfast, strong, and unwavering.

The unbowed never yield. They lift their heads, acknowledge their calling, and rise. God does not call to fear. He calls to courage. He does not call spectators. He calls servants of justice.

We must understand Matthew 5:9 in its full context. Being a peacemaker does not mean being a slave to the world. It means fostering peace within your community, but never at the expense of your kin and community.

Peace cannot survive where evil is ignored. it means being ready to stand for those who cannot defend themselves. To have peace means putting your own house in order before attempting to change the world.

Our culture, our history, our people all await our awakening. We wait for the day when the crushing weight of indifference and moral decay is finally confronted, when we can no longer seek the world’s permission to act. This is the moment we have prayed for, the moment when the world stands witness to the truth of our struggle.

We can no longer wait for others to pave the way. We can no longer trust that passivity will protect us. We must rise and acknowledge that freedom is not given. it is earned through courage, loyalty, and moral clarity. We must shed the shame of silence and passivity like old clothes and replace it with the armour of resolve and faith.

Our calling is not a call to prejudice and hate. It is a call to action. It is a call to protection, to prayer, to the building of a people willing to defend their own path. It is a call to a system that recognizes us and strengthens our hard-fought for freedom. This action means prioritizing education, community, and family. It means standing against corruption, injustice, and the destruction of our culture. It means serving our God, our people and protecting our heritage, even when the world tries to stop us.

God’s call to us is clear: be courageous. Be peacemakers. Be the protectors of your people. Be the voice of truth in a world full of falsehood. The time for silence has passed. The time for shamed cowardice is over. The time for unashamed action is now.

Will you answer the call? Will you fill your heart with courage and protect your people and culture from the forces that seek to undermine it? Will you uphold justice and righteousness to safeguard your nation and heritage?

Time waits for no one. The battle against apathy, cowardice, and attacks on your people has already begun. You can no longer stand by as a spectator to our attempted destruction. There is no more waiting. You can no longer close your eyes to the calling of your nation.

This is your time. Our time. The time of the unbroken.
