The purpose of creating this thread is not to discriminate any religion. as a matter of fact, going to church often and observing all the doctrines and rules of your church alone does not qualifies a man into what am about to say please.
In the time of old, we've heard accounts of kings who were filled with the spirit of God and ruled excellently during their time. Joseph was next to the overall king in a strange land. the land of Egypt became more productive, fruitful because of him.
Daniel was preferred above the president and princes because he has the spirit of excellent. he was a man of prayer and a well knowledgeable person.
King David was referred to as a man after God's heart. he moved God into action because of his repented heart. he easily acknowledge his faults and turn to God each time he goes wrong. he was the king who rules with great power and kindness. people served him with their lives. they jeopardized their lives for him.
Coming down to our generation, christians don't want to do politics. we said its a dirty game, but this is the same game the unrighteous played and get into power. as soon as they gain entrance into power, they become powerful ruling the affairs of the country, states with all forms of diabolic means, evil enchantment and rituals. they invite and invoke Satan into power to rule. whether you like it or not, the decision they make, in one way or the other affect everybody. when they give order, we are meant to obey. that for sure.
Now why are Christians( holy ghost filled) not going into politics? the bible said they that knows the lord their God shall be great, strong and do exploit.
where are the king David of our time? or is politics one of those things a child of God can't do without getting soiled? the bible said all things are possible. cant prayers does that magic? cant a man of sound mind, holy ghost filled stand up and get up with God's lead and rule us with God's spirit, power, kindness. eradicating all forms of ungodly act in our government? or we are just too powerless to get up there?
what is your view on this please?

We are, most of us timidly too timid, cowards. Because of lack of knowledge and fear. We have to be determined and take our destiny into our hands, nothing much will change really until the religious people, I am not talking about the ritual religious observer, but the very so committed Christian

Thank u sir.

To be honest, doing politics in Nigeria is not a small thing . you need to get mind and completely summiting to God's leadership is not easy as well, because most times, God does his things slowly.

Thanks @dainy.

Does it mean a christian can not do politics in the right way in Nigeria and win? pls come and share your opinion

I don't think it's necessarily about a Christian participating in politics and wining. It is about participating as a Christian. Christians should flood the political arena but guided by the life of Christ. They should continue to do so not minding, failing, etc until without our knowledge Nigeria's political arena would be ablaze with the fire of the Holy Spirit which would drive away and dispel all forces of darkness. Either by driving them away or converting them.

Christians should anticipate to fall/ fail but have firm faith in GOD's steadfastness. They say that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of Christianity. So also our trying and failing would change Nigeria's political arena. It's time to conquer this fear of failure. After-all, the most important thing to every Christian is Glorifying GOD, advancing HIS Kingdom and making Heaven

@tranglatar. nice one sir.

@tranglatar. nice one sir.

Thanks. But it annoys when Christians tow the line of the servant given one talent in the parable of the talents. Passive Christianity is not good enough. We should try and if we fail our successors would stand on the "mountain" of our failures to excel.

There is a commandment against telling lies. The word "politician" has become synonymous with the word "liar."

Yes politicians lies a lot, but a christian (i mean a true christian) can do without lies even in politics.

what did being afraid of the environmental risk and pressures earn the servant with one talent that went and hid it?
Christians should "ascertain their standing with GOD" (repent, purge and have life sanctified), then pray to the Holy Spirit to illumine their mind on what GOD has given them and where best to use it to HIS glory and not just on their own make an ignorant fearful and selfish decision.
For every Christian GOD has given the talent to be active in the political arena but is not, many Christians and non-Christians are suffering for that act of omission

so right sir
