Can A Genuine Christian Be A Nigerian Politician? by Nobody: 10:40pm On Mar 27, 2021 |
In the Bible, we saw God's people who were in the government. We have countries whose political system is not as complex as that of Nigeria. Now, can a Genuine Christian be a politician in Nigeria? with this corruption is it possible, and how? 8 Likes

philanthropic:The answer to that is No. Regardless of what you read of in the Old Testament, in the New Covenant, Jesus Christ declared it a sin for any follower of His to occupy a position of power/ leadership over the others, in much the same way as is obtained in the World we live in. So, you will not find a born again Christian occupying position of leadership or authority over people( other followers of Jesus Christ included) because it is against God to do so.

Robbit:First thing you need to do is learn how to read, working on your comprehension skills while you are at it. Secondly, you need to apply those newfound comprehension skills in reading the Bible so you are not easily deceived by ordinary men who have just one head like you do. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Robbit:Oh, I see you are chuck full of the deceit that is false teachers and prophets there. In the Kingdom of God, those who are extraordinary are instead those who serves as slaves to the rest. Jesus Christ told you this in the same context, but since you skipped the first memo, why not skip them all, right? See, Jesus Christ even tells you that to be first, you have to be a slave/servant to everyone else, just like He was. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

God never intended for humans to rule humans {Jeremiah 10:23} because it will never yield any positive result due to nepotism {Ecclesiastes 4:1, 8:9} that's why Samuel agitated when Israelites (God's own people) demanded for a human King {1Samuel 8:5-6} there God made a notable statement that for the Israelites to have demanded for a king it simply means they have REJECTED God's system of rulership so God told them what will eventually become of the kings that will rule them! 1Samuel 8:11-18 So politics has nothing to do with God even his own people that demanded for human rulers regretted it heavily. When Jesus walked the earth he made us understand why it's wrong for God's people to participate in politics, Satan has been ruling through the majority that has always been on his side {Luke 4:6-8} that's why Jesus refused to participate in the political affairs of his first century contemporaries {John 6:15} he made it clear that Satan is the overall ruler of the world! John 14:30 compare to 2Corinthians 4:4 God's servants participated in the political affairs of other nations like Babylon and Persia but they were slaves in those land who have no choice. When Christ established Christianity none of his followers attempted politics because Jesus instilled in them that they are not part of this worldly government {John 17:16} so their own government is not of this source! John 18:36 So whenever or wherever you see anybody in Politics know that they're serving under Satan the Devil {Matthew 4:8-9} that's why they practice all sorts of evil things both publicly and in secret so Jesus is coming to exterminate them all! Daniel 2:44 May you have PEACE! philanthropic: 10 Likes |

NO. A Christian is a subject of Christ, Christ is his or Her forerunner, The Perfect example for a True Christian, Christ Lived up all the best example and was never involved in anything that concern this world. His mission was to seek and to save those who are Lost For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 1 Peter 2;21 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19;10 A True Christian has no business in Politic, He is a Warrior, He is on the King's Highway (Jesus) Just like the analogy of Moses in Num 21:21-22 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders. Mark the word, THE KING'S HIGHWAY, Politics is an entanglement, Christian are not called to be a Politician. They are called to be examples of Jesus "No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. " 2 Timothy 2:4 A TRUE CHRISTIAN HAS NO BUSSINESS IN POLITIC. whatever Jesus never did, Jesus never commanded and that is why Prominent Politician were coming to Jesus by night because the society they belong does not allow them to be identified fully with Jesus. Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimatea Jesus was not apologetic when he told the rich young Ruler that truth Matthew 19:21 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 6 Likes |
