====================================================
I: Purpose and
Worldviews in Education
1. Purpose of education:
Olanipekun: Education equated to “Human resource
development”
Obiageli “Oby” Ezesekwili:
education is the most important national resource available. Far more important than solid minerals. – Testimony
at Redemption Camp. Reported in CA! Vol 10 No 1
“The main purpose of
education is the integral development of a person. In addition, it is a source of its obvious benefits
for a fuller and better life. Education
can contribute to the betterment of society as a whole. It develops a society in which people are
aware of their rights and duties.
Education is a cultural and learning process. Through this, all people can develop
cognitive abilities, physical abilities and establish values and beliefs. That allows us to act as good citizens.”

2. Clash of Worldviews in Education: Zion versus Greek - Zechariah
9:13
“When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with
Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made
thee as the sword of a mighty man. “
“The sons of Zion versus the sons
of Greece describe the epic battle in this age between two world views. There are world views that continue to inform
policies, values, and philosophies of education all over the world. The sons of Greece like Aristotle, Socrates,
and Plato have shaped the mind of nations.
There is hardly any field of human endeavor where the Greek philosophers
are not being studied and providing fundamental principles that have shaped the
thoughts of many. Greek philosophy, as
embraced today, focuses on the cultivation of the mind with the exclusion of
the heart. Moral education and
instructions are not considered necessary in today’s education curricular.
“The sons of Zion, however, include
biblical philosophers. Examples of which
are Moses, David, Solomon, the Prophets and Paul to name a few. Their works are excluded from studies because
they are confined to religion. Education
from Zion;s perspective goes beyond the cultivation of the intellect to the
development of character, morality, and values.
Communities of the world can agree on values that they need to cultivate
in school or early education and include such in the curriculum. Whatever man sows, that he reaps. If we sow nothing in the area of morality and
values then we get citizens who are intellectually smart but not kind to one
another. Education is incomplete without
deliberate, concerted cultivatin of morality.
The Greco-Roman pattern of education focuses on the cultivation of the
intellect alone but Zion;s educations system is holistic. Zion develops the total man: spirit, soul and
body.” Pg
58 Segun Olanipekun, Nation Building, A Biblical Perspective.
Cf Eden: Fruit of
Knowledge (without wisdom!) versus True knowledge
Underlying bedrock of
Zion: Creationism (completed and good at the beginning); of Babylon/Medes-Persian/Greek/Roman:
Evolutionary (gradual increase forward)
3. Some Features/Fruits:
1. Education in Greek is
Godless. Zion is God-based
See a related
article at <http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/024750.php>
UK school kids to be taught atheism [“Non-religious religions] in religious classes VOL 7 NO 2
2. School
Prayers. Campus Fellowships – officials
3. All encompassing
holistic education: Babylon trains the fit Dan 1:3-5. Zion trains all. Cf David’s mighty men. 3Ds -1
Sam. 22:2; 2Sam 23:8. Israel autistic population). Special Education only in Zion. Deemphasised
in Greek. (Presently, with advances in
Technology, more inclusive education now possible.)
Pix: (Sept 2019): Exiting
David Ben Gurion Airport, at the close of the 4th ALS, I discovered
one of the key reasons Israel is such a great and blessed nation. EQUAL RIGHTS
FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITY LAW
Saw this on social
media recently:
What is Education?
At the end of World War II, this
letter was found in a Nazi concentration camp.
It is addressed to Teachers.
Dear Teachers,
I am a survivor of a
concentration camp. My eyes saw what no
man should witness: Gas chambers built by learned engineers, children poisoned
by educated physicians, infants killed by trained nurses,. Women and babies shot and burnt by High
School and College Graduates. So, I am
suspicious of education. My request is:
Help your students become human. Your
efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled Psychopaths, educated
illiterates. Reading, writing,
arithmetic are important only if they serve towards making our children more
humane.”
To impart ability to take information, be instructed, and key in
meaningfully into society, ultimately leaving it better than we met it. Sons of Zion seek to bring heaven to
earth. Education gives the
training. Cf Moses! Read and Write, compose
song for teaching , learned in all the learning of Egypt (Acts 7:22) etc. Luke’s Gospel, Paul’s Epistles, John in the Book
of Revelation: the various gems surrounding the throne… All these demonstrate
learning. The human subjects wouln’t have been able to fulfil these great
ministries without prior sound learning.
II. Education Past,
Present, and Future
I assume we are treating
Formal Education here. (Most of the traditional methods have changed very
little)
1. Education Past: Challenges
at Ideological/Doctrinal Level. Manifested at Physical/Material dimensions
·
How past is past? Moses? Aristotle?... Let’s stick
to Nigeria. First formal school in Nigeria:St Thomas Anglican Nursery and Primary
School, Badagry, 1843.
·
Then clearly it was Zion worldview. Christian missions. But now gradually being supplanted
by Greek thinking. Greek worldview
challenged by Ishmaelite, which can be seen as adulterated Zion. – Boko Haram,
Taliban,..
·
Funding, facilities, motivations, remunerations and
rewards ok.
·
Most people in my generation attended public primary
and secondary schools. University, we
had expatriate teachers, Someone once came from UK to do sabbatical with my
Prof.
·
Thank God for children of Zion having Christian
schools, homeschools, etc. But it is
important that the battle be fought at the Public Schools level. Cf ongoing University strike crisis: 95% of
students (about 2 million) in the public Universities.
2. Education
Present: Challenges now full-blown as Greek worldview
is gaining momentum. Manifested at “Soulish” dimension (morality, etc)
i. War against School Prayers: US, Europe, Nigeria (mainly
Ishmaelites,cf Kwara State)
"Anyone who violates these orders, no kidding, is
going to wish that he or she had died as a child when this court gets through
with it." – that was U.S. District Court Samuel B. Kent of the Southern District of Texas in 1995 ordering students and even ministers not parties to the lawsuit
not to pray in Jesus' name at graduation ceremonies, warning that that federal
marshals would be on hand to take violators to jail for six months on the
grounds of contempt of court.
A dozen students attending Heritage High
School in Vancouver, Wash., were suspended recently for praying at school. The individuals, who met for about two weeks
before 7 a.m., decided to pray in the school cafeteria because of the inclement
weather outside. As a result, they were suspended for ten days. [Vol 10 No 3]
ii. Exam Malpractice: (I’ve been on Exam Malpractice Committee for over
a decade. We see things!). With emphasis on paper qualification more than
skill/value-adding
At
the entrance gate of a university in South Africa the following message was
posted for contemplation:
"Destroying any nation does not require the use of atomic bombs or
the use of long range missiles. It only requires lowering the quality of
education and allowing cheating in the examinations by the students."*
Patients die at the hands of such doctors.
Buildings collapse at the hands of such engineers.
Money is lost at the hands of such economists & accountants.
Humanity dies at the hands of such religious scholars.
Justice is lost at the hands of such judges...
"The collapse of education is the collapse of the nation."
Unfortunately today, teachers, administrators, even parents now
actively take part in Exam malpractices!
iii. Sabotage by Greeks! Unjustified mandates in Schools: (government-supervised
education; vaccination!). All working to
actualize the World Core Curriculum of the future (now here!)
Homeschooling movement: under immense pressure. US,
Germany. Canada(vol 9 No 5). (CA!
intervention in Norwegian situation Jan. 2016) [VOL 11 NO 4]
·
At a radio programme, few weeks ago, pondering the
question how do we prepare for the next pandemic: it was clear to me that the 3
major steps were: education, education, and education. Cf a vaccine that has no
sterilizing immunity, and does not prevent transmission, with considerable
adverse effect in the short term, and long-term not known for a disease which
is not fatal and can be treated…..government is indemnified, etc
Cf Lockdown of schools for several months in US and elsewhere. (Adverse
effect of schools lockdown – UNESCO)
Refs: Case
Against Mandatory Vaccination in Nigeria (www.NigerianCovidResponseAlliance.org);
Letter to Liberals (RFK: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/letter-to-liberals-ebook-20220802.pdf)
·
Here in Nigeria: OAU, Must teach large classes
virtually, even when orientation, social and religious activities are allowed
physically. UI no hostel accommodation
for unvaccinated. It is very clear that some people somewhere want to destroy
our education system!
·
In DC
US, no vaccination no classes. And no alternatives (virtual class)
provided! (August 2022)
· For instance in Canada, the Quebec Ministry of Education has bluntly told unlicensed Christian evangelical schools that they must teach Darwin's theory of evolution and sex education or fold up their operations.[Vol 10 No 1]
iv. Greek Curricula being crafted and imposed:
·
Sex Education Curriculum now ready – says Council vol 5 no 1
·
Eckankar
for schools in Nigeria VOL 7 NO 6
·
McAthur pumps over 5 billion naira into selling Sexuality Education in
Nigeria. (Vol 9
No 1). From
the MacAthur foundation alone, over five billion naira has been given to
various NGOs in less than 3 years, to see to the task of ramming the odious
pill of Sexuality Education down the throats of Nigerians, by all means
All these from
just one of several donors alone! For instance Action Health Incorporated, in 2004 got a separate $1,100,000 from
the Ford Foundation “to strengthen the documentation, training, public education
and field and constituency-building programs of the Africa Regional Sexuality
Resource Center” (www.fordfound.org/elibrary/documents/520/029.cfm).
v. Immorality:
·
Bill Funds 20 New Elementary
School Health Clinics Offering Condoms and Birth Control for Students
http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/may/07052307.html VOL 10 NO 3
·
University of Cincinnati
organizes “sexploration”
Details at www.onenewsnow.com/Education/Default.aspx?id=412040 VOL 12 NO 2
·
Thank God for response to the outcries on
sexual harassment. At least some tertiary institutions in Nigeria are waking up
to confront the evil.
vi. Cultism, Violence, Drugs
·
AMORC vs UI.
Secret cults (MtZion’s Abbatoir!) Cultism – opon
imo with incantations for hypnotizing ladies!
·
School Violence (US, Japan….)
·
Cultism and Drugs (CETCON… check website. Hopefully this November also)
·
Cult Renaissance on Campuses [VOL. 5 NO 2]. Lecturer Gunned down at
UNIBEN: (Punch Feb 1, pg 9)
vii. Evolution theory
(especially at tertiary education level)
·
Lies in high scientific places [Vol 9 No 1].(www.iht.com/articles/2005/12/23/news/clone.php)
3. Education Future: Knowledge Explosion. Misinformation,
Disinformation, Propaganda, Gas lighting. Mandates. (Future is already rolling
in!): Ultimate manifestation. Being manifested at Spiritual dimension
i. US Public Schools: Propaganda and Persecution
- In the US, there is a 70-to-80 percent likelihood that a [Christian] child
will abandon the church and their faith in a public school career! Facing this sober statistics, President of
the Southern Baptist Convention, Frank Page, is calling on Southern Baptist
churches to expand into K-12 education, making it available for families
whether they can pay a private tuition or not.
Christians need Exodus from 'Pharoah's system' he warned.
ii. Alice Bailey, Robert Muller + Djwahl Khul (a demon!). UN-sanctionedWorld
Core Curiculum. Full expression of the
fruits of the World Core Curriculum

·
Here a sampler of the New Educational Curriculum for the New World (from
SA):
For instance on the subject called Life Orientation, Nursery 1 pupils are to be able to identify
symbols relating to AT LEAST three religions other than their own.
·
By Primary 3/4 they are
supposed to be able to describe the worship practices, value systems, as well
as festivals, RITUALS and customs of AT LEAST 3 religions, OTHER THAN
THEIRS.
·
By Primary 6 your children are
expected to be able to “describe how nature can be a source of spiritual health
and MUST be able to sing canons from AT LEAST three
different cultures/religions” e.g chant mantras or Odu Ifa etc.
·
By the end of JSS 3, pupils are
to be introduced to ‘holistic and traditional healing.’. They will taught “life cycles” (based on acceptance of
reincarnation as a fact) and made to “understand how similar belief systems
are”. Having thus been taught that all
religions are one, Christianity is highlighted as the uncompromising selfish
one that refuses to accommodate the others.
The curriculum puts it as “Understand that it was not only politics that
vilified Africa but also ‘imported’ religion”.
·
On Social Sciences,
nursery grade pupils are to be taught to
identify private parts of their body (an old idea from the humanist
camp). By Primary 6, Children are to
understand their rights such as the
freedom to choose their own religion or sexual preferences from age 13, as well
as accept evolution as a “fact”
·
Everything happens over a span
of years during which many other “excellent” programmes will be taught. The
little poison ingested here and there along the years however will guarantee
that any child who is so indoctrinated will reject the value system of his/her
old-fashioned superstitious parents!
iii. Artificial Inteligience (AI), Technology can rob students of critical
thinking.
·
Anthony Levandowski, founder of what is called the AI (Artificial Intelligience) Church describes a new god referred
to as “Whatever”, which the AI community believes is going to emerge at some
point when the internet-of-things has become operational (see GLOBAL GOVERNANCE RIDES IN ON CORONAVIRUS BACK)./ With Google, and possibly Google Plus with AI, what education is really
required? (e.g. with calculators and
computers, relevance of arithmetic skills?)
·
Robot Teacher debuts in
Japanese Schools www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,508184,00.html.
Fox
news sees Saya as representing “Japan’s determination to put a robot in every
home by 2015.” At Church Arise!
however, we see in Saya the impatience of New World Order buffs to turn teachers
and educationists to robots – teaching their new curricula of evolution theory
and new sexuality, etc. Bringing in
robot-teachers will certainly hasten the process – no questions, no
conscience! VOL 12 NO 2
iv. Mandates! (Physiologically facilitated by
prior mass vaccinations, Digital Passports, Green Cards, etc)
·
Parents who
opted to take their children off government-supervised
schooling have been jailed in Germany (Vol 10 No 1). Even those who keep them in public school with
the hope of having them excused from certain corrupting classes, such as
comprehensive sex-education, are also being jailed. VOL 14 NO 1
·
mandatory government-supervised
education for all kids, new sexuality with emphasis on advocating for
homosexuality, abortion and contraceptives; or on another note, global
citizenship, “interconnectedness” of all living in the world with the “ancient
ascended masters” and all that stuff, you know what the game is all about.
·
In Quebec, Canada, students are
now required to attend a mandatory class where they are specifically taught
that all religions are equally true. The
course, requiring about two hours per week is also mandatory in private schools.
(see details at http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=29813)
VOL. 5 NO. 4.
v. Education as “tool for Global Peace” VOL 4 NO 6
·
“Education for All for Learning
to Live together” - that was the theme of an International Conference on
education held in Geneva, Switzerland under the auspices of UNESCO between Sept
5 and 8. Over 600 delegates from all around
the world were in attendance at the Conference presided over by Nigeria’s
education minister, Prof Babalola Borishade.
Christianity (Zion) teaches us to live, as far
as it depends on us in peace with our neighbours. But we must keep ourselves
holy. Summary of conditions for heaven! (Heb. 12:14). New World Order (Greek) teaches we all dilute
our convictions and find a new meeting point where the individual identities
are lost. In State (UN) and in Religion. (UR).
III.
CONCLUSIONS/ACTION POINTS:
Teachers need to be
careful not to be tools in the hands of nefarious people for evil agenda.
1.Take heed to yourself. Don’t be corrupted (1 Tim 3: ), Must learn to challenge dogmas. Ask questions. Train yourselves to build up confidence. Prepare
yourself. Prepare your students
purposively for the exciting future ahead! Great privilege!
2. Win others to Zion. Let them
know (1 Chr. 12:32; Mat. 28:18-20)
Leadership Development (ALS): Identify/Raise; Develop/Train;
Equip/Protect/Defend; Network/Empower
3. Hence a gathering like this. But
NATECO must go beyond an annual engagement. There must be ongoing [daily, eg. Via
social media] engagement -. Invitation
to partner/network with CLAY, ALS.
