The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E. A Adeboye has urged the children of God not to abandon politics in the hands of dishonest politicians . Reading from the church's daily devotional guide, "Open Heavens" of today Tuesday, 23rd June, 2015, titled "LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE" , he said Christians would have no moral obligation to complain of misgovernance if they continually refuse to "shine in the political scenes of their country.

Any child of God who desires not to be
overwhelmed by the darkness of this
world needs to compulsorily shine as the
light. The Bible says in John 1:5:
'And the light shineth in darkness; and
the darkness comprehended it not.'
Why is it that the darkness does not
overcome the light? Simply put, it's
because the light shines. When the light
refuses to shine, it gives room for
darkness to reign. This is the reason why
it is dangerous for children of God to
abandon politics in the hands of the
children of disobedience . These
children of disobedience will continue
to vote for politicians who are their
spiritual kinsmen. Christians have no
moral justification to complain of bad
governance, if they refuse to shine as
light in the political scenes of their
country. The reason darkness did not
overcome Jesus Christ was that, as the
light of the world, he shone throughout
his earthly ministry. In John 9:5 He
declared that :
' As long as I am in the world, I am the
light of the world.'
He also defined us as the light of the
world in Mathew 5:14.
From today's memory verse, we
understand that to shine in this world of
darkness requires wisdom. It therefore
follows that it is foolish to light your
spiritual candle of salvation and hide it
under the table. Of course, it's only a
matter of time before the light goes out.
One of my children once shared the
wisdom that God gave him to always
overcome being overrun by evil of this
age. Anytime he finds himself in a new
environment, the first thing he does is to
announce that he is a child of God. He
does this by witnessing to the high and
low of that place. So, from the first day
of his arrival, people already know he is
not someone to discuss fraud and other
sins with.
How do we shine as stars in the darkness
of this world? Daniel gave us the answer
to this question also in Daniel 12:3:
'And they that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament; and they
that turn many to righteousness as the
stars for ever and ever.'
I urge you to begin to shine through
soul- winning and teaching the doctrine
of righteousness, and God will back you
up. The evils associated with darkness
will not overcome you in Jesus'Name.
Key Point :
When you preach, teach and exhort
people into godliness, you will be left
with no option to live as such.

This is a wake up call to the children of God to brace up for active politics .
This is line with God's word in Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
