South
African Universities Set To Introduce B.Sc In Witchcraft
Wonders shall never cease! News
making rounds has it that the South African Minister of Higher Education
and Training, Blade Nzimande has announced plans to have witchcraft included in
the curriculum from 2018, giving students who wish to get an education
on witchcraft the chance to do so in the country’s universities.
The minister made this known while addressing representatives from
student unions around the country, adding that the introduction of the course
is aimed at learning skills which are peculiar to people who practice
witchcraft. Announcing the bizarre move, he urged future university
entrees to consider taking Witchcraft as a course.
Hear him:
“There is a lot we can learn from witchcraft,
like how they fly in that winnowing basket. Imagine if we learn that skill. It
will eradicate traffic jams and everyone will just get in their basket and fly.
It also means we will not be importing fuel anymore.”
Mr. Blade was said to have invited renowned witches to make an
appointment with his office so they can have their skills tested and those
outstanding would then be hired as lecturers. He further extended the
invitation to witches from outside South Africa with a promise of giving them
permanent residents permits.
He said:
“I spoke to Gibs (Minister of Home
affairs Malusi Gigaba) and he agreed to issue witches from outside South Africa
with permanent residence permits. I heard Malawi and Zimbabwe have an
impressive collection of witches. We are hoping they will heed the call.”
Sequel to the announcement, the student representatives who packed the
auditorium were disappointed having gone there with the expectation that
the Minister would announce a 0% fee increase for the coming year.
Expressing their anger, they booed and threw bottles at him.
Submission of applications into the department by interested students is
said to be closing at midnight on September 30 and there is presently a
job opening for 109 witches.
To those who regularly read the Bible and follow end time
events this is not new news at all. Isiah 15:23 says, “…. rebellion is as the
sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou
hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.”
The book of Deuteronomy at chapter 18:10 and chapter 22:18 reads “There shall
not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass
through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an
enchanter, or a witch.” “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” If witchcraft
is an abomination to the Lord what gives anyone the desire to learn that which
angers God. What level of rebellion and pig-headedness is such a behaviour? No wonder
why Revelation 15:22 equates witches to dogs. The verse reads, “For without are
dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
In Galatians 5, witchcraft and hatred are listed among the
works of the flesh to which Paul stresses, “of the which I tell you before, as
I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.” the wise man once remarked, “Righteousness exalts
a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34.
Witchcraft seeks support and leadership from dark spiritual
forces and not from God. Forms of witchcraft are evident in white or black
magic, sorcery, other forms of magic horoscopes, astrology, tarot cards, séances,
psychics, palm reading, spiritism, fortune telling, necromancy (communicating
with the dead), yoga, New Age meditation, the force, Chinese Zodiacs, chants,
spells, the Rosary, and such artefacts and behaviours which rely heavily on dark
or familiar spirits.
Any spirit that is not the Holy Spirit must never be
followed or believed. The Devil is an evil spirit and any spirit under his
command must never be entertained. We must only worship God in spirit and in
truth (John 4:24). Jesus said that His Words are life. John 6:63, “It is the
spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
The Devil works inside the mind of the wicked, to lead them
to do horrible things (Ephesians 2:2). The Devil can't make anyone do anything,
but he influences people if they are susceptible and willing. This is the
woeful danger of making witchcraft look innocent and fun to young people. It
teaches children to invoke Satan's power. Statements like, “There is a lot we
can learn from witchcraft” are thus very dangerous and have the capacity to planch
an entire nation in to disaster.
Witchcraft involves the manipulation of the demonic host,
through chanting, incantations and the casting of spells. It may encompass
communication with dark demonic spirits impersonating. As discarnate spirit
entities, these demons possess knowledge regarding the activities of humans and
may have a limited ability to foretell the future.
My advice to the modern church is, “Prove all things; hold
fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thes 5:21-22
