It depends on your definition of true Christian.

You just have to choose one.

YES

Politics is a means to leadership and governance.
As a true Christian, you must know your God and be spiritually sensitive.
Akinwumi Adesina is an example.


I started doubting Osinbajo when he started lying for Buhari.

<<In my opinion, I will say Yes.. Christians should be actively involved in Nigerian politics..

<<Daniel did.. even during his time, it was dirtier than the Nigerian politics to an extent they conspired and he was thrown in the lion's den..

<<Joseph used his political powers to make differences and increased revenues in the land of Egypt..

<< Since Nigerians loved tribalism a lot, Queen Esther used her office "of the first lady" to save her tribe from extinction...

So yes.. if u can make a change and a difference, why not

Joseph was the VP to pharaoh in Egypt, Daniel served 4 or more different kings in his time, David governed Israel etc

The bible says when the righteous are in authority the people rejoices but when the wicked ones rule the country will be in shambles as we are experiencing today

If a true Christian cannot be in politics then a true Christian cannot also be a civil servant or anything pertaining to Government.

A true Christian can be be in politics very well. A true Christian is the light in the darkness.

It is all about being bold for JESUS Christ and not following the Multitude to do the evils and Wickedness they engage in.

Joseph was the Prime minister of Egypt.
Daniel served as Vice President on 3 different occasions
Shadrach, mesach and abednago were governors
Ezra was a governor.
They all stood Firmly and Boldly for GOD in righteousness and Holiness

Yes.... just that there some animals that will always condemn u whenever u join politics and same people will be cries whenever unbelievabler govern them
I think those animals know what they are saying.

Did Jesus (Christians model) and his disciples and the early church generally participate in politics?
No they didn't.

Jesus said "my kingdom is not of this world".

Politics is really a dirty game, you know that right?

Jesus was invited to participate in politics by the overall master in politics, but th6ere's one thing he demanded from Jesus {Luke 4:6-7} do you notice what Satan (the ruler of the world) asked in return? John 14:30; 1John 5:19
Well the Bible is not just a story book Sir, it's meant to enlighten us about sacred secrets of things that befell unwise people in ancient times! 1Corinthians 10:6, 11
Whoever participate in politics anywhere on this planet is serving Satan, that's why Jesus said he came to expose all the secret of the devil for his own disciples, politicians themselves often confess that politics is a dirty game which means it's not meant for sheep but goats.
So it's not for Jesus' disciples to participate in the works of the devil: POLITICS! smiley

So believers should sit down and watch agents of the devil control the government, so when they legalise gay marriage, abortion, pampering of terrorists, and killing innocent people in the name of blasphemy etc you will start shouting they're killing Christians.

If not because you don't have brain, how do you expect people that don't have fear for God to do the right thing when they're in power.

It is written "when the righteous are in authority the people rejoice" Note the use of "when" instead of "if". God-fearing people can and should participate in politics.

Yes, a Christian can be actively involved in politics. However, he must allow the holy spirit make the move on the chess board for him lest he ends up in a party filled with blood drinkers and demon controlled power drunks. The way of God is never the same way with that of man. Pastor Tunde Bakare may have been divinely inspired to go into politics, no doubt...but he may have gone ahead of God to direct himself in political paths not ordained by God. If God can give the entire nation of Israel to an unknown boy (David) whose job was to tend sheep and deliver drinking water to his elder brothers in battle ground, Giving the entirety of Nigeria to anybody of his choice is absolutely nothing to him. Take this to the bank.
