In the Old testament, there were Kings and Priests. Kings ruled i.e what we can call politics now and the priests were messengers from God. Some of the priests were usually sent to kings and God sometimes speak to these kings himself. Examples of Kings are: Joseph, David, Solomon, Ahab, Hezekiah and priests are Moses, Ezekiel, Elisha and many more. Jesus' coming was different. He came to save the world and he came as a king and a priest. However, a king in the Christiandom and not physical ruling. There is nothing wrong in christian participating in politics. If you check the history of the developed world, you will find that christians ruled. Civilisation has changed lots and this has not helped in our thinking in this subject matter. We need more true christians in politics not the occults. |

True Christian should be neutral when it comes to politics, cause Jesus said he is not part of the world. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't obey government law, as well as paying our dues |

For you.... Christian needs to go into politics because h encouraged it in the Bible... If Christian will refuse to join politics, the Christian will die in this country... Don't forget, we are not slaves |

/ Humans are political beings. Politics is not only about campaign and election. In other words, you are asking: Are Christians supposed to be humans? Nigerians are always trying to extend religion beyond its original target. Christianity gave one mile but Nigerians are pushing for 100 miles. What's next? Are Christians supposed to eat? After all, food is a thing of the world. SMH. / |

delkuf: Then why did Jesus say the follwing He who must be great in the Kingdom of God must be a servant of all (Matthew 20 vs 26, Mark 9 vs 35). Part ofour calling as sons involves us learning to serve...because it teaches us humility, and also makes us by extension more Christlike. As exemplified by Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. Imagine that God, the creator, washing the feet of his creation (a job that would have been performed by a servant). Being a servant does not lessen our sonship...it enhances it and makes us more of a light to the world. |

Daniel 2:44 says it all. In the Lord’s Prayer all Christians pray. We always say let Gods kingdom come let ur will be done on earth. U can’t be a representative of two kingdom or government it’s either u are for one. U can’t slave for two masters. We all know the world politics lies in the power of the wicked one Satan that’s why he could offer to Jesus all the world governments wen he came to temp Jesus. So tell me should a Christian Participate in human government. If actually it was right Jesus would have actively participated in it to save humanity from trouble and make things right. As humans our only obligation on earth is to obey God Ecclesiastic 12:19. Only God kingdom will end all badness on earth, humans can only rule themselves to injury. That’s why we are imperfect. Imperfection cannot rule imperfection to perfection. Only a perfect government can rule imperfect human to perfection. |

For the first time in a long while, I read every word to word in a nairaland piece. Sometimes I wonder why most of our so called anointed men of God take part in political activities in this country. take for example pastor tunde bakare; as a running mate of buhari in 2011, if eventually APC came out victorious in that election would he have given up his ministry for his political assignments attending FEC meetings and also presiding over sunday services in the church? Would he have split his loyalty between the church and government? What would have been his decision if Buhari had won the 2011 elections!. |
