Being an excerpt of interview granted by Rev. Omobude, in Sunday Vanguard.

Question:

Often times we pray oh Lord give us David’. Recently, a respected father, in the person of Pastor Adeboye, urged members of his congregations to join political parties and be card carrying members. What is PFN’s position on this?

Answer:

First and foremost, those who pray oh Lord give us David’ should also be ready for a David that will COMMIT ADULTERY with Uriah. I think that we have gone past that.

The position of the PFN is that we are encouraging the Pentecostal to be interested in the politics of their country. THE DAYS ARE GONE WHEN WE SAY WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD, WE ARE GOING TO HEAVEN. And then we spend our time in the prayer room and allow those who don’t know God to play the politics the way they like. I believe that if we want to change this nation, Christians must be willing to be involved in politics. Good people must go into politics. That is the position of the PFN.

Then they'll be able to shape the nation's political complexion to reflect their beliefs, and the persecution of minorities, homosexuals especially, will become rife. Talk about insidious devilish conspirators!

It simply shows the vagueness and contradictory filth packed into the buy-bull.
In one instance, Christian are NOT of this world, just before you get that, they turned around and say, Christians are of this world.

It's stupid_ to still be alive and claim not to be of this world. As far as I know, only dead people are not part of this world. Christians are better off dead so they can't be of this world. I wonder what they are still enjoying in the world anyway.

Christians are hypocrites! THEY CAN'T HELP IT. Imagine living strictly by the codes of the Old Testament? Won't you be a MONSTER? What about following the New Testament to the letter? You'd be a LUNATIC. So, a person who's not honest enough with himself to see his ludicrous beliefs for what they are and ditch his abhorrent faith is left with only one choice; HYPOCRISY.

Read the post again from your own link, and then going by your interpretation of its' message, aren't you quoting him out of context?

I'll assume you really want an answer, so l'll oblige.
The quote from the book of john right there hints that Christians, because of what they stand for are not loved by the world and are viewed as strange because their ways do not comply with that of the world's system especially the politics, corrupt practices and perversion which were the norms of the good old Roman Empire. Remember that after the death of Jesus, Christians for the first few centuries were regarded by all around as strange people who only eat bread and wine as a major ritual together and have sworn never to do so many things regarded as the norm or worship the Roman gods and Caesars. They were persecuted heavily for this and rightly rejected as outcasts and atheists.
However l understand why the quote seem to bear little meaning or relevance today.

You will do well to point out the contradictions.

Read the part in capital letters in your op, then read what follows..He never said we are of this world, that is your own invention. He is admonishing Christians on what they do based on the belief that we are not of this world,you are the one turning this around to impute the opposite of the statement on him.
In other words, he is saying that the conclusion Christians wants to draw from the premise of that quote is false.

What's the meaning of the days are GONE?

OMOBUDE then expatiate by asking Christian to get involved in worldly occupation, by getting into political matters.

Why are you defending the indefensible?
