We “Christians” have failed God. God didn’t call us to be a religious sect or organization. Jesus was always against religion and religious leaders. They were the only ones he used the word “WOE” to. He never used it for any government or political person.

God rules in a kingdom, we are His citizens and therefore should be kings and queens on earth. Every kingdom has a government, therefore it’s political. The Bible says: “For unto us a child is born, unto a son is given. And the GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDERS, and His name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father and the Prince of peace...” Jesus came carrying the government of God’s kingdom upon His shoulders and He dropped/released it for/to us.
That is why Jesus said: I will build my “church” and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. He meant CHURCH there to mean “Ecclesia” which is an Hebrew word which means Cabinet which is actually a political term. This means that Jesus actually came to call us into a political system for His government....but we, thanks to the devil’s scheme and wisdom/deceit, turned it into a religious group or body (the very thing that Jesus was mainly against when He came to the earth - the same very thing that sent Him to the cross and killed Him)

All these is deep...seems strange and sounds crazy to you, even me, I’m still trying to fully understand it because of the yearssss of wrong teachings and beliefs. There are many more truths to unravel... reach out to me let’s rub minds and discuss more if you’re interested. Peace.

Can A True Christian be Actively involved in Nigeria politics as it is today?

NO.
politic of nowadays is base on selfish interest.
a politician must need to steal some money. Then
can a christian occupy an office without stealling some funds? the anwer is NO. So christian should beware of politics.

Reconciling The Sacred Values And The Secular Ethos

Politics affects everyone- whether we admit it or not. No matter how much you try to impact society, if you don't become a bit political through your interventions, that impact will never be felt. This is because the political world is animated by considerations of power, justice and other issues that affect the general society.

If Christians don't get involved in partisan politics, then, they are in more ways than one acquiescing to the misdeeds of the misfits and no-usefuls who take over.

Let's go ecclesiastical: Joseph was a prime minister- the first agro-economist in the world. Daniel was also a prime minister. He served three kings, Mordecai started as a slave, then later became a prime minister. Nehemiah was a butler and a governor. David was a king, a politician and a stateman.

It's left for you as a Christian to define who you'll be through your character. You play the political game without allowing the tenets of your faith and attachments to be eroded away by the corrupting influence of the dark art- politics.

Daniel was ten times wiser than the so called wise men of Mesopotamia, Persia and the surrounding nations. In fact, so pervasive and influential were his outstanding qualities as a leader and person that historians and Bible scholars have coined the term, The Daniel Spirit- the spirit of excellence.

SINCE THE FALL OF MANKIND, THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD HAS BEEN UNDER SATAN'S CONTROL AND CHRIST DIDNT DISPUTE THAT IN MATTHEW 4. EVERY GOVT ON EARTH IS UNDER SATAN'S CONTROL AND ANY ONE INVOLVED IN POLITICS DIRECTLY WORKS UNDER SATAN. OSIBANJO LE

lot of children of God in the bible

Joseph, Daniel etc

cornelboy:

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

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

I understand why you'll forget wallow in poverty now. I feel sorry for you.

No, because politics is a system of the world. And God doesn't interfere in the affairs of man. Man position on earth is meant to glorify God, thus the reason the bible says the earth is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

We ought to remember God cursed the earth in place of man, when Jesus came to die his death was a significance. The torns, nail and blood where all of a significance. This means Jesus dying is meant to draw man to God and in turn man ought to redeem earth unto God.

Now look at the politics of man and the energy that comes with it death, destruction, starvation, in fact everything contrary to the commandments of God. God said if you love you will keep my commandments. Does politics in anyway do this? The manifestation of man who saved is meant to be felt by his fellow man via love which is giving to those in need, been selfless and also taking care the earth and everything that was put into it. Does politics carry such energy?

God is light and can't and will never dwell in darkness. He knows those who are his children and will always respond to them in their time of need.

yanabasee:
If you're a Tru christian... You can support the government. But getting involve in it will deter your relationship with God. And those who try to do same are like those priest listening to ashawo confessing their since . Their peniz will definitely get erected...

With due respect


This is wrong

Politics really started from church and public officer do report to church

Because of our negligence Muslim and evil one s took over and control us

Omooba77:
Can A True Christian be Actively involved in Nigeria politics as it is today?

From experience, YES. But not me There are Christians that are called to something else in the body of Christ. But those who feel they have the gifts of government and feel so led should be encouraged to engage. Otherwise, na only prayers we go dey pray, Yahoo boys and gays will be ruling us and making laws for us.

SINCE THE FALL OF HUMANITY, THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD HAS BEEN UNDER SATAN'S CONTROL AND CHRIST DIDNT DISPUTE THIS WHEN SATAN, WHEN SATAN CLAIMED IT IN MATTHW 4. EVERY GOVT OF THIS WORLD IS CONTROLLED BY SATAN AND ANY ONE INVOLVED IN POLITICS IS DIRECTLY WORKING UNDER SATAN. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS OSIBANJO WHO LEFT PULPIT TO WORK UNDER SATAN, SELLING HIS BIRTHRIGHT FOR A TASTE OF POLITICAL POWER THE WAY ESAU SOLD HIS BIRTH RIGHT FOR MERE POTTAGE.

Bakare and Osinbajo abi are u saying the will loot

Bro, same should then be said of Joseph, Daniel, Joseph of Arimathea, Zaccheus and other rich men that followed Jesus. What i have noticed is that the church abandons her own to a pack of wolves in government. Then if he manages to triumph and become governor, president, vice president, Senate president, Vice chancellor etc, we'll start claiming he's our member and he should remember to do good especially to the body of Christ. We start inviting him for our big programmes to talk to us and our young ones. Na person wey make am we wan follow.

And how are we going to be salt of the earth and preserve our world from decay if we all stay inside camp ground praying?

Dey there dey ask mumu questions, all the bad bad things for Nigeria no be christians and Muslims dey do them. Politics is a way of life, if Christians love money, what stops them from participating in politics?
We all know Christianity is just a tag, a religion... spirituality and being good is far from them.

You have seen how the principal candidates of the two leading parties emerged and you still asking this question??
You are gone already.

What happened to the ranking Christians in the APC and the PDP. One quit to avoid bribery, the other offered his widows mite and came a cropper.... such is the lot of real Christians who try to force their way into secular activities, they often, certainly fall flat.

However the way God brings His people into serving humanity on the other hand has always been out of necessity, for instance, when the people have suffered enormously over a protracted period of time or endured great calamity or are in great peril that their souls are shredded and open to accepting His ways and receiving His people.... and from all indications Nigerians are not there yet, our matter is still on the stove, gradually boiling...

When Nigeria is ready to receive a Christian in power it will be by 'CONSENSUS'.

Kingofhoes:

This goes a long way to show why politics in Nigeria will never change, because of idiotic thinking like yours

Nigeria has ran faster than DEMOCRACY what Nigerians needs now is a break because the end is near and DEMOCRACY can't help any nation with multiculture most especially where the players are all used to the game: the dirty game called "POLITICS"
So you're free to utter whatever comes out of your mouth there's FREEDOM OF SPEECH and EXPRESSION!

Omooba77:
Can A True Christian be Actively involved in Nigeria politics as it is today?

. No John 6 vrs 15. John 17 vrs 14

Don't search for long. We present Mr Peter Obi!

No. Nigerian politics is dirty. You must get hands dirty otherwise nothing for you.

Na the way Nigeria dey do politics na I'm cause am.

Joseph was in politics, likewise daniel

Possible in other country but as per NIGERIA It is CAPITAL AND CAPITAL IMPOSSIBLE. Let us be sincere with ourselves even managing Church as a good Christian u will hardly find anyone that is upright not to talk of my naija don't even go dere but as a good Christian in politics they will just tell u it is normal sir .. Nothing is normal abt wrong doing and people are shouting Peter obi l hv nothing against obi but he is just a regular Christian. Obi is as corrupt as every other politicians in this country but the only thing dat differentiate dem is dere level of corruption.

Does he remotely resemble a politician to you?

kenbee:
Yes! Peter Obi is a good example.

I am sure u re with him in his office. & in his house. U see every thing he does that we dont.

omoadeleye:
So what about Pastor Tunde Bakare

And Reverend Chris Okotie

these re 419ners & d politicians knows dis.

MaxInDHouse:


The highlighted said it all!

Jesus was invited to participate in politics by the overall master in politics, but there'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!

Stupid analogy... Yahshua say occupy till I come.

All powers in heaven and earth are His.

Stay aloof until Muslim Muslim reduce your children like the aloof Ephesus that is present day turkey.

Chief.
There is NO WAY on earth a real Christian can be approved by men to rule over them on a bright and sunny day.... no matter the consequences.
For God to choose out of His disciples to lead the world is lending to a system that He has no control over.
For how can He be building two dipolar kingdoms on earth at the same time.
So the few times He lends men to be leaders in the world will be for the serious reasons that they are in dire need, in serious danger and they cry out to God for help.... and the great purpose will be to bring them out of whatever system wrecked their lives in the first place.

Desperados:
It is nothing bad for a christian getting involved in politics.
The problem is remaining faithful to God irrespective of the political system.

Daniel in the bible was involved in politics and he still remained faithful to God.

Kworrect

Don't mind dos docile untill they are made second class like Coptic church and been hoanded by Muslim to death.

Let's get our pvc and stop the nonsense Muslim Muslim ticket.
