▪︎Jesus Christ warned His followers never to set themselves up as the Gentile rulers - politicians - over any of the others - Matthew 20 vs 20 - 28 & Mark 10 vs 42 - 45 & Luke 22 vs 25 - 27

▪︎ Jesus Christ also indicated that those who are His followers are no longer to work for food that perishes but rather for food that endures to eternity which only He can give to them, and the work He calls on all of His followers to do is to believe in the one who sent Him - John 6 vs 25 - 35

▪︎ Jesus Christ also warned His followers that they can't serve two masters in the Kingdom of God - Matthew 6 vs 24

Basically, you cannot serve the world(its politics included) and serve God at the same time.

Then, Christians shouldn't mind being ruled by unbelievers.

Yes it's possible. However you must have made proper legitimate money in business and other investments or endeavors to stand a good chance of surviving and remain incorruptible in politics.

Nigerians are becoming fed up with corrupt, thieving politicians. Mindsets are changing in this direction so politicians with reasonable level of integrity will be elected going forward. I expect Peter Obi will ursher in this new generation of Nigerian politicians.

Why should they mind when they are not even of this world?

holuwajobar:
For example

Look at our VP, Yemi osinbajo


That's your answer

You are making the same mistake that Prophet Samuel made of Jesse's children, when he looked at the stature and countenance of Jesse's first born and concluded that he must be the anointed king, whereas he was wrong.

So just by looking at Osibanjo, you assumed that he can't be corrupt? Bro, you may be surprised that if he is put under detailed scrutiny, he may come up as dirty as the rest.

no,you can’t serve 2 master

The political docility of Christians of the early church could be traced to the fact that Israel and some gentile nations were under the colonial rule of the Roman Empire and Christians were taught to be in subjection to the authorities that be at best, they were to pray for those in power and could not participate in the politics of their time.

This might have been responsible for why Christians hesitate to be actively involved in the politics of our days, whereas, the God we believe and serve is interested in the way the world is governed (Romans 13: 1, 1Timothy 2: 1-2, Genesis 1: 28).

In other part of the World, they don't have problem with that cos "right act" is in their DNA

Are you saying that a genuine Christen can not content for any political position? Our vice president Yemi osinbajo is not genuine?.

The one who said it can't be is Jesus Christ.

This topic was treated on RCCG sunday school manual today.
my take on this is:
it is hard for a christian to be fully engage in politic in Nigeria and still make it to heaven. However, it is God's plan that we dominate

Why not.

MOSES, DAVID, DANIEL JOSEPH ETCETERA ETCETERA WERE PROFESSIONAL PROPHETS AND POLITICIANS.

Yes you can be

Osinbajo IS A PROFESSIONAL PROPHETS, POLITICIAN AND PROFESSOR.

Osinbajo IS A GENIUS OF UF.

But gentile rulers will rule over Christians and sometimes make antichristian rules that the Christians must follow

Yes! The world is naturally a political space or realm and how it affects your actions and decision making is a factor.
Government is not different from religion, so wherever you find yourself always endeavor to preach the truth against wickedness of any kind.
Preach love, selflessness and righteousness no matter how inconvenient it may seem.

Joseph and Daniel were top political appointees who excelled above their local gods serving peers all by the reason of their relationship with God.
They also faced scandals and trials like today's politics will throw at any "Jew".

No

Appointee is different from a politician both mind their businesses

Future impossible TENSE !

the process of politics itself was meant to bring about random selection of the most capable hands to oversee the affairs of men concerning physical issues. If the spirit of God can make Christians excel above their peers why should the best minds be exempted from ruling over the affairs of men.
If a Christian can be a class monitor, then he or she can be a politician.

Iliveforever:
Yes of course.

Peter Obi is a proper example. While dude was living a clean life, he never knew a time like this where his past life will be talked about by millions of Nigerians and across the world.

Peter obi that has been exposed by Pandora papers for hiding a whopping $500m in secret offshore account under his child's name. Ole, barawo, onye oshi - clean life ke!

Foolish question!
Majority of the so called Men of God are more corrupt than politicians

How can you eat with the devil and then eat with the Lord? For you can not have two Masters, it is either you like one and hate the other.

Infact 90% of Nigerian christians are not genuine Christians including myself. Na because we dey poor na why we humble, make we hit big money, na den you go know whats up

Anyim Pius Anyim said it's not possible

Yes, through Gods grace and your sincerity to obeying Gods will you can.

Politics started with God's people. The dirtiness related to politics today because it was generalized ,hence taking away the true purpose of politics.
In other words if you read the book of proverbs, you will discover that when good men enter politics the people will benefit more hence the need for more of them.
This mantra that you can't be a politician and be a genuine christian is fallacy,to encourage those evil people to thrive.

Who should now lead if Christians distance themselves from politics. At the end, you will be complaining about bad governments and mismanagement of resources �
