jimmynauty: Real Christians are not afraid of all these, it is borderline Christians that have dual personalities and have all they eyes on the earth that fear what happens(ed) in Eqypt, Lebanon or Turkiye. |

cornelboy: Joseph and Daniel both participated in the political affairs of foreign pagan nations, but they were slaves none of them raised any flag for the position, they were called to serve and they don't have any contrary opinion. According to God's word nations choosing human rulers are doing what God hates most, that's why Samuel told the Israelites it's a crime against the Almighty God and that the Israelites will pay severely for it! 1Samuel 8:4-22 Do you notice how cruel human rulers will be? Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9 Well Samuel concluded by telling them: When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king (ruler) you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you in that day." 1Sameul 8:18 The reason is because Satan is the real overall ruler of the world today {1John 5:19} he gained this after the first human pair rebelled against the Creator so they passed all their unborn generations under Satan's rule {2Corinthians 4:4} Satan can't rule successfully because for LOVE, JOY and PEACE to reign in the human society all of us must be like humble children {Matthew 11:25} but Satan promised his own subjects that "they will be like God" {Genesis 3:4-5} each of them wants to rule as in dominate their fellowman. So instead of the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit to reign in the midst of the Creatures made in God's image {Galatians 5:22-23} it's the WORKS of the flesh that will continue ravaging mankind! Galatians 5:19-21 That's why Satan's system will all fail until God's Kingdom comes to wipe them all out! Daniel 2:44 Let the one who has ears listen! Matthew 13:9 1 Like |

If you give up your rights to determine who leads you, then you have no right to complain about the quality of leadership which is imposed on you. |

A Christian can get involved in politics, but it's gonna be very difficult to succeed in his/her political endeavours if he/she sticks to his/her christian principles. |

Capital YES. Joseph in the bible was a prime minister in a strange land.( Genesis 41:40-43) With the above knowledge, let all of us, no matter the tribe, religion, ethnic group(s)... Come together and be obedient to Nigeria our great country. We have laboured in vain and to the wrong people in time pass. Let's all labour for a new NIGERIA. #OBI IS THE ANSWER. Omooba77: |

The Bible Says when the Righteous is on the throne the People rejoice but the the reverse is the case. How can you have Dominion if you don't participate. |

Omooba77:The answer is no follower of Jesus Christ, who lives in continuous submission to and obedience of the teachings (and commandments) of Jesus Christ works for food that perishes - John 6 vs 25 - 35 - nor sets himself as the Gentiles do as authority over his fellow followers - Matthew 20 vs 24 - 28. Instead as Jesus Christ showed us, we are called to be slaves to serve others, and politicians of this world, though by mouth they pretend themselves servants of the public, are in no way or form any of that in reality. |

Politics is just like other secular activities or occupations like engineering, medicine, business etc. Do you ever ask if a Christian can be an engineer, doctor , businessman etc? The right question should be : should a Prophet , Pastor, Preacher or any man of GOD leave his Divine calling or assignment to go into politics? The answer is a big No. Our Lord JESUS knew His assignment and purpose and that was why he avoid anything that could derail it. A regular born again christian (not a minister) can go into politics provided he can stand for the truth and avoid comprising godly standards. There are several good examples like that in the bible. Don't forget that even the most popular bible version today the KJV was supported by King James of England about 400 years ago. Before that time, ordinary citizens were not allowed to have a copy of the Hebrew/Greek/Latin bible versions which were mainly accessible by the clerics and elites. Tell me how it would have been possible if the king was a pagan that hate the gospel. The scriptures itself affirms that when the righteous reign, the people rejoice and vice versa. The problem we have in Nigeria is because majority of Christians that represented us failed woefully in standing for the truth . They easily blend with the evil trend. They aren't as bold as Daniel, Josep, Esther etc. President Obasanjo, Jonathan and even VP Osinbajo are all Christians o. Did they represent us well? Well , you can answer it yourself. Remember, even the first president/ head of state that ever declared war in Nigeria is a supposed christian - Gen Gowon. Ironically, he even declared it on a fellow Christian region of the South East. At the end, millions of lives were lost for the purpose of national ego. Is national ego or unity more than love for God and mankind ? How can a Christian president watch millions perish in war just like that? I hope Gowon has repented sha. We Christians should stop blaming non- Christians. The problem is with us. Let's fix it first. Remember Jesus said we are the light of the world and salt of the earth. Kingofhoes: 2 Likes 1 Share |

If getting involved in it can get your relationship with God distorted, then we need to check the faith you're practising. Daniel was a man of like-passion, that is someone under the Old Covenant ooo...For the shocker, Babylon was more corrupt than Nigeria, and he thrived there...if you feel it will taint your righteousness, then you are just still bearing the Christian tag, not an actual one. |

Christians should keep staying away from politics and you want a better country when you keep allowing those without the fear of God to keep ruling. Una go pray from now till tomorrow and nothing go still happen. Overzealous Christians without wisdom and knowledge 2 Likes |

Stupidity conclusions from those that called themselves Christians? Now you see why Christians will suffer till the end of their lives. You can't participate but you can vote. Check it!!! You can't be voted for but you can vote. You can't but you can allow Muslims, others to lead you. Whatever they say, you follow! As a Sunday school teacher, I tell you until when Christian understand James 4: 6 - , we will continue to suffered. |
Re: Can A True Christian Be Actively Involved In Nigeria Politics As It Is Today? by Kobojunkie: 1:11pm On Jun 12, 2022 |
Engr2016:1. Yes, we do. And the answer is No! A follower of Jesus Christ, one who lives in continuous submission to and obedience of the teachings( and commandments) of Jesus Christ ought not to work for perishable food aka daily bread, as commanded by Jesus Christ Himself in John 6 vs 25 - 33 2. I am afraid you delude your own self by pretending there exists some sort of separation in callings where Jesus Christ is concerned. There is no special divine callings separate from your regular born again Christian. Instead every single individual who believes in Jesus Christ is called to doing the exact same job, this by Jesus Christ, the one who calls all to Himself. And according to Jesus Christ, none of those who is called by Him is to rule over the others in much the same way as the leaders of the Gentiles aka politicians do - Matthew 20 vs 24 - 28. 3. So because King James translated the first Bible to a version owned the state and church of England, the translation then widely advertised and used by English missionaries even in Africa, that somehow means King James was called by God and his translation of scripture endorsed by God? 4. Wrong! The problem with the Nigerian Christian is you lot hold fast to the ways of this world this while pretending you do so for God's sake. You abandon God's Truth for the sake of the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches/assemblies) all in your bid to attempt to hold hard that which is of this world while claiming you also have that which is of God. God is not an idiot. |
