Following the upsurge of rising religious deceit from Black pseudo pastors and religious leaders in South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa’s government has now taken a decisive step to stop the rot:
A similar situation forced the Rwandan government to shut down more than 6000 churches.
However, South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa has warned that government will have an interface with churches and religious leaders to stop them from taking advantage of South Africans.
The president has weighed in after a video clip went viral this week showing Pastor Alph Lukau praying over a man dressed in a white suit in coffin.
While Lukau prayed, the man sat up in the coffin while some onlookers gasped.
Ramaphosa says that South Africans need to work together to get rid of bogus religious leaders.
“Those who are doing things that are completely shocking, of trying to hoodwink the whole nation and saying that someone has been raised from the dead, it is actually bringing the name of the Lord, of God and of churches into disrepute.”
Similarly, elsewhere Rwanda, following the huge scam and swindle of innocent People and the spread of so-called churches in the country, forcing members to do unimaginable things for redemption, the Rwanda government led by Paul Kagame has reportedly closed down worship centres to stop the continuing deceit and fraud.
The Blacks of South Africa have a million problems confronting them, and miracle-working “pastors” should not be high on the list, but apparently it is. Witch doctors still have enormous influence over Black Africans, and in order to lure Blacks into following a “Christian” pastor, they need to incorporate a little voodoo into its rituals. How does this harm them in any serious way?
The communist ANC party has taken advantage of poor, ignorant Blacks in South Africa far more than their colorful “pastors” have. Recently, a high-profile Black pastor was attacked for suggesting that the ANC keeps control of Blacks by continuously blaming Apartheid, which ended 25 years ago, for all their current problems, leaving them hopeless. But Blacks are just as likely to give up blaming Whites for their problems as they are successfully raising the dead.

Most of you will not be aware of this fact under apartheid South Africa it was illegal to advertise a faith healing miracle unless you could prior prove the assertion. The South African Bureau of standards prohibited it. Needless to say sill Pentecostals did not obey the governing authority. They seem to have reaped what they sowed. Dr Des Stump the late was the leading figure in getting this non biblical shame to cease. He was called an anti Christ for his religious stance and position. He won for a while. Sadly this has morphed into Christian Witchcraft. Lets read the scripture again.. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. And so these gift passed away as stated in 1 Corinthians 13.

There are many Christian saints who raised the dead among them St Padraic. These saints acted in despite of kings, chiefs, hostile tribes etc. No mere ‘thou shalt not’ from a sitting potentate is going to prevent Christian from raising the dead if he is called upon to do – let’s just say by the Higher Authority. Staging coffin ceremonies with people pretending to be dead is not going to cut it. Maybe in Africa. If Ramaphosa had an ounce of brains (he doesn’t) he would expose this stupidity. Have an on the spot Doc to check out the dear departed / newly raised brothuh or sistuh. Get a timeline from the relatives, death certificate. The real Church actually looks into miracle workers and miracles because people follow miracles (en masse) and most of this stuff is fake. And the real ones are quickly suppressed and poo-pooed by the right set of enemies.

Sadly, there are fake White Christian pastors who have also performed all kinds of fake healings and theatrics, but they’ve never attracted the attention of a sitting U.S. President as a matter of national concern.

Yeah, I thought it quite strange that black ‘christian voodoo’ has become a point of political interest. The immediate reasoning that comes to mind is media misdirection. There must be something more sinister afoot that the beast does not want the masses to know about…yet.

Ramaphosa is as dumb as rocks and just as corrupt and greedy as any African leader, and he knows that he can’t go after the witch doctors or healers because he’ll alienate voters, so he’ll just pretend this is a big issue and pretend to “do something” about it.
