EDO 2016 Governorhip Election: Vote Wisely by Iamdmentor1(m): 4:05pm On Aug 18, 2016
VOTE WISELY IN EDO STATE GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION

Edo State Governorship election is “around the corner” and many persons may have come (and are still coming) to solicit for your votes. The onus is on you to prayerfully and wisely cast your vote.

This election is unlike other elections considering the contemporary issues in Edo State in particular and Nigeria in general.

Christianity (our faith) in recent times has come under serious attack by Islamists who want to spread their religion in our nation by force.
Persecution of Christians has gradually spread from the North East through other parts of the North and the Middle Belt to the South West, and Edo State (the Heartbeat of Nigeria), a strategic state to the nation is now their primary target.

Edo State is a “nodal” (junction) state and possessing it in their calculation is very crucial to these agents/perpetrators of persecution and destruction of lives and properties.

Politically and religiously, possessing Edo State may be the avenue of penetrating the South – South and South – East.

The antecedents of these agents of persecution and destruction in Nigeria cannot be overlooked e.g. a review of the history of Ilorin (Kwara), Jos (Plateau) and Agatu (Benue) may be helpful. Their activities in the North East where Christians have been massacred in hundreds of thousands, churches burnt and people displaced from their homelands are all bare facts.

A review of their history in other parts of the world may be helpful e.g. their activities in Turkey (where the seven churches mentioned in Revelations Chapters 2 and 3 were located, North Africa and the current happenings in the Middle East.

Their strategy is to seize political power, have a foothold through land acquisition where they form a “semi caliphate”, having a government to themselves to the exclusion of the indigenes.

In this election, they have subtly and solidly put their support behind one of the candidates. All the above mentioned facts are playing out already in parts of Edo state. Go to Adesuwa, Eyaen and Ahor communities and see their activities. All they need now is to seize political power to complete their mission. The candidate they support has promised them full cooperation.

Edo people CANNOT afford to sell their votes and consciences for whatever price. This election is more than party affiliation. It is a choice between light and darkness, between Christianity and Islam, between God and demons. Our choice in this election will determine whether we will be able to practice our faith unhindered and over the same to our children.

Let us remember Esau who sold his birthright for one morsel of meal and it became impossible for him to regain it though he sought it carefully with tears (Hebrews 12:16-17).

Everyone should bear in mind that these agents of persecution and destruction do not care about any other religion or race except theirs. They want to conquer you, take over your land, install their Emir and force their faith on you.

While promoting their religion, other races and tribe who do not agree with them must be killed, enslaved or become subservient. That has been their motto and practice throughout the world and throughout history.

Promoting grazing reserves or ceding lands with the promise for development (that will not be actualized) are subtle ways they deceitfully use to have doors opened to them to persecute and carry out enslavement.

Our decision in this election will not only affect us but will affect our succeeding generations. Do we want to make the practice of our faith (Christianity) difficult or impossible for those who will succeed us if the LORD tarries?

Therefore let us remember the words of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16).

Who is that candidate that will stand on the Lord’s side, who will defend the Christian faith, who will not sell Edo State to the Islamists, who will be accessible and available to Christians? VOTE FOR HIM AND MOBILIZE OTHERS TO VOTE FOR HIM.

PLEASE BRETHEREN VOTE WISELY, VOTE WISELY AND VOTE WISELY.

Most importantly, let us pray fervently without ceasing, for the forthcoming Edo State election.

QUESTION
CAN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST COUNT ON YOU TO CONTEND FOR THE FAITH THAT WAS HANDED OVER TO YOU? MAY THE LORD JESUS CHRSIT RIGHTLY STRENGTHEN, UPHOLD AND BLESS YOU.

Edolites pls let be wise in casting our vote for the right candidate which is no other person than Pastor eze Iyamu. from the released depth statistics by DMO, we have all seen why Oshiomhole want Obaseki to become the next governor, Oshiomhole and Obaseki have no plan for Edo State but only fighting for how to pay their N800 billion depth. if LG workers are being owned 15-18months salary and the state is indepted, then if we vote them in again we should be ready to starve for another 48months. vote wisely and dont be decieved. No future with APC and any APC count will be an endorsement to unending suffering.
