Bro you are quoting scriptures out of context.

You haven't said anything here, Sir.

I also observe you post long posts, but you yourself aren't a very patient reader. That's not good!

Please read my earlier post well and this too.

If you accuse me of quoting scriptures out of context, the thing to do is to post the context for us all to see. Then I can learn...

I lucidly showed you that democracy and the kingdom of this world are not God's ideas. They are ideas mostly initiated by heathen nations. They are men's ideas.

Democracy is like technology. It's a worldly innovation. It has benefits for us all. It's good to embrace it. But it doesn't take the place of God in our lives. It cannot save the world.

A true Christian is the salt if the earth. You give taste to the earth. You Have a duty to influence the earth as a Christian in every way possible.

You're telling lies against the scriptures Sir. Jesus truly said we are the salts of the earth. But He never says we save the world "in every way possible." This is shameful. 🤦‍♂️

"In every way possible" would mean we can tell lies and rig elections to bring a Christian to power. Right? It would mean it's okay to physically attack anyone who antagonizes what we think is God's will for us. Isn't it?

Don't you think that's silly!

Here's what Jesus says:

Matthew 5:13,16
[13]Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
[16]Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Verse 16 let's us see that He is speaking about "good works." Good works like fruits of the Spirit. Not elections.

(by the way, this is how to show wrong context).

Don't be a spiritual mugu. The devil will poo on your head. We are still on earth. And we need leadership that will allow us to practice our faith.
GOD will always give direction on who to vote if you ask. But he will never force you. [/i]

What you're saying is alien to scriptures. And this is disappointing coming from you, Sir.

The scriptures never instructs us to vote so that we can get leaders that will allow us practice our faith. It doesn't even ask us to pray to get such leaders. Rather, it says we should pray for the leaders we have (1Timothy 2:1-3).

Democracy is not your saviour. Jesus is! You can't trust in the name of Jesus Christ and in the power therein and think your safety or salvation will be by one man somewhere.

See what the Bible says:

Psalms 146:3
[3]Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Jeremiah 17:5
[5]Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

Our trust should be in God's power. Not political might or power.

Zechariah 4:6
[6]Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts



By all means, go and vote. It's great for Christians to participate in politics. But it's never compulsory. Democracy isn't our power. We shouldn't put our trust in it. The name of Jesus Christ and His Spirit is!

Righteousness2:
As long as you are still on earth, you must be interested on who your leader is. This is one of the reason JESUS lamented that the people of the world are wiser than those who claim Christian.

GOD ALMIGHTY personally ordained leaders in the days of old.
GOD personal made Joseph prime minister so his people could be preserved.

The likes Saul, David, Hazel of Syria and many others were presidents that GOD ALMIGHTY personally took interest in.

You are not yet in Heaven. You are still flesh on earth. So you must be interested and involved in who leads you else you will suffer the brunt on earth.

The least you could do, Sir, is to address the post in it's context and point out what you think are the errors in it. This you've done here, Sir, is not right

Nothing in the post claims it's wrong to be interested in who your leader is. Right?

However, God never compels or forces His choice on a people. People choose their leaders.

God didn't ordain the kingship (or political) system of this world. Pharaoh was wise to choose Joseph. God didn't foist him on Egypt. The people of Israel, against God's plans, were the ones who chose to have kings "like other nations" (the heathen nations) It wasn't God's original plan for them.

1 Samuel 8:5-7
[5]And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
[6]But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
[7] And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

Note God's response (in bold). God's original plan was to reign over them. Not some physical kings like the nation's of the world.

God did not ordain Democracy or the kingship systems of the world. Jesus did not! But, as patriotic citizens, it's good to vote and participate in politics. Not doing so could make us socially or politically disadvantaged.

But still, whoever we vote or not vote for is a choice. Whether we choose to vote or not vote all owes to individual choices. It's not God's priority on earth. So He doesn't give any ultimate directive in that regards.

God's primary plan for changing the earth isn't politics. But His word and His power.

In the last few weeks, there's been lots of politically-fuelled tirades thrown at Pastors, GOs, and general Christians for their political choices or partisan stances. For instance, just very recently, a popular Pastor was the subject of insults on twitter for his nonpartisan posture.

Apparently, most peddlers of these attacks against pastors feel every pastor and Christian either voting for Moslem candidates or maintaining a nonpartisan stance is no good. The crux of their argument is that the Church in Nigeria is under attack, and the the way to deal with this is to vote a Christian candidate.

It is quite clear that they have a point. However, on a lighter note, it's ironic that many of these folks were never church goers and have been critique of pastors/churches before now. Their sudden passion for the church is a mystery.

Some have quoted from the scriptures to try to justify the attacks against pastors who aren't actively partisan for the Christian candidate. These ones seem to believe that pastors are obligated to support a Christian candidate in an election. Now, this is the subject of this article.

Are Pastors Obligated to be partisan with politics?

The answer to this is obviously NO. There's absolutely no Biblical instruction for pastors to influence the church politically.

First, Jesus Christ, our Lord, the Chief Shepherd of the church, never left such precedence... His responses to politics in the days of his flesh were always non-participatory. Here are some of His words:

John 18:36
[36]Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

The Lord Himself says His kingdom isn't of this world. In other words, His kingdom isn't dependent on the political happenings of this world.

At His resurrection, His disciples (who still assumed Jesus would usurp the Roman dominion over the Jews) asked and got a similar response.

Acts 1:6-8
[6]When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
[7]And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
[8]But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Note Jesus'response. He switched the minds of His Apostles away from political thinking to what His (Jesus') kingdom would entail: which was preaching and bearing witness of His resurrection by the Holy Spirit.

His kingdom is not like the worldly kingdom. It is established in the hearts of men.

Luke 17:20-21
[20]And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
[21]Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

So, Jesus never made any inference about Christians taking power. Neither did He command His Apostles and pastors to go into partisan politics. What was His simple instruction to His pastors:

Matthew 28:19-20
[19]Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


Luke 24:46-48
[46]And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
[47]And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
[48]And ye are witnesses of these things.


The Bible's singular instruction to pastors is to preach and teach the church. To equip the church properly for God's work and purpose on the earth.


Acts 20:28
[28]Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Ephesians 4:11-13
[11]And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
[12]For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13]Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:


Note He didn't give pastors and the likes to lead political revolutions. He has the specific jobs He has committed to them!

Jeremiah 3:15
[15]And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

A few highly revered pastors have repeatedly stated this: that God didn't call them to be partisan. But to teach and disciple all persons (irrespective of tribe and political affiliations) as Christ instructed.

But What About the Pastors Endorsing Candidates?

Well, they are doing so in their private capacities. Understand that, besides being pastors, they are citizens who also have political opinions. And these opinions have nothing to do with their calling as pastors.

What Should We do About Pastors that Are Non-partisan or Support Candidates We don't Like

As it's been made clear above, no knowledgeable, wise Christian would curse or ridicule any pastor for their political choices or inactivity. That's simply not their calling!

We should not allow democracy (a system of govt invented by man) cause us to despise people that God has called.

God wants us to honour what He has honoured. Political choices would not validate or invalidate any pastor. If you would be honest, both good and bad people are in every party or supporting every candidate. That's what politics is. It's not a standard!

God instructs us to honour His servants.


1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
[12]And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
[13]And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

1 Timothy 5:17
[17]Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

No true believer would despise God's Word! God's wants us to Honour His servants. We would not dishonour them for some vain system or just because it's popular on social media to do so.


1 Chronicles 16:20-22
[20]And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
[21]He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
[22]Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.


Conclusion

Democracy is not initiated by God. It's a system from the ancient Greeks. It's a system of government based on the most popular opinions.

One of its ideals is that everyone respects the political choices of others. Of course, you can engage in political or philosophical engagements to help them see reasons for your political choice or to see from theirs.

However, the practice of bullying and insulting other people with varying political opinions is undemocratic in itself.

More so, we (particularly believers) should not stoop to so low to such insane levels that we begin to insult the systems that God has put in place. We shouldn't allow ourselves to be used by ungodly forces to speak I'll of pastors, GOs, or the church as a whole.

Let's be sober and vigilant. Let's not be swayed by the wrong Spirits in the name of politics. Let's not flow with the mob.

1 Peter 5:8
[8]Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour

The level of people's gullibility is amazing,
1, there is more than 1 presidential candidate with names in the Bible.
2, He didn't say the man will win, he said the 'man is afraid' and he prayed for him...so if he loses, it is because of his fear.
3, He then asked the congregation to pray for Nigeria...

He was so vague, and clearly cannot be quoted on any of this, and that is the straw, you guys are hanging to and celebrating.

You think you did something there?

The man is not predicting. It's what it is. He's asking His people to pray and vote. You can keep your analysis.

This Terrorists supposed to be wagging in DSS underground hot water cell by now. But alas! Since it is done by 'satanic religion' preacher, its fellow satanic followers are giving it meaning other than the evil it should be called.
Characteristics of Satanic religion:
● Leaders like Pope waiving and hailing at LGBTQ;
●Abusing young girls inside their monastery by priests;
●Abusing boys and using them as intimacy gadgets by bishops who say they don't marry
●Defending and championing devilish acts;
●When one of them kills and bomb schools in US, they call it minor crime but when others commit similar crime it's terrorism;

The phone you are using to type this is the product of Western education inspired by the Western Christian Paideia. The western education you have (which your book haram brothers don't want you to have) is/was championed by Christians.

Take a look at the most war-torn Nations in the world in the last twenty years, at least 70 percent of them are Muslim dominated nations.

Take a look at the most deadly terrorist groups in the last 100 years, at least 75 percent of them are Islamic.

Take a look at the most deadly terrorist attacks in the 21st century, at least 80 percent of them are Islamic.

Moslem populated countries have the least educated and most barbaric populations in the world. They are people who see no wrong in taking the life of other human beings for their god. Savages!

How many times did his father, Fela, one of the greatest from Africa, get nominated?

Let's stop sheltering bare-faced facts in some shady "nomination" claim. How many people have ever heard or listened to seun's songs?

Can we honestly say he is as great the likes of PSquare? Like in all honesty.

Throwback:


When Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Fela's mum, was fighting for independence and attending conferences in UK, Mazi Okoye of Anambra was climbing palm trees as the village palm wine tapper.

This is pedestrian, drab, and intellectually lazy. How does a simple exchange between those two automatically graduate to what their parents did or didn't do? Did you need this line at all to make a coherent stance?

When Seun Kuti is showing non-partisan political consciousness, the Okoye's are busy showing tribal partisanship in support of a failed Governor of the state they all cannot live in.

What "non-partisan political consciousness?" What does that even mean in the scheme of things? What concrete, pellucid, transformative consequence has that resulted into?

If you would bracket your bias a second, the dude is only constituting a nuisance. He has nothing concrete to Nigeria's political narrative. He's riding on his father's anti-corruption political narratives to satisfy his obsessive compulsive attention cravings.

They do not know about democracy having been bastardized by IPOBocrazy that does not respect human rights or dissenting opinion.

What is even sad is that they show this partisanship because of a typical political prostitute who has no honour or integrity, and is very desperate to become President.

Neither Paul not Peter is hostile to dissenting political stances. The issue here is that the seun kuti called Peter Obi undignifying names. Any supporter would rise in support of their principal in such instances. That's what "P Square" did.

Switching political parties doesn't make one a "political prostitute." There is no moral, legal, or customary law demonizing changing political associations. If a party doesn't suit my ideology or is derailing from the ideal path, I shouldn't be confined into some pseudo loyalty to such entity. Isn't that crystal lucid?


We can learn to shelve our biases when analysing issues.

Killing infants is unislamical.

Most Islam dominated places are unpeaceful. They are littered with violent extremists.

Good day everyone, to help clear controversy, please ignore catchy soundbites and listen to the holistic approach, what we are going to do away with is the CURRENT SYSTEM we have, it is ineffective, un-compassionate and has been breeding violence and intimidation in the state, you cannot ban people , but we can rehabilitate them and remove the system that led them down this path and produce better outcomes for them and the entire state.
For too long the APC govt have exploited vulnerable youth of Lagos for violence and a mafia type chokehold on lagosians. Bus drivers, commuters, business owners, residents are tired, and even when engaged you will find alot of these exploited young men would seek alternative work if just given the chance with jobs and training.
My administration will engage the youth, our youth must be engaged in a way that brings out their best. This is why our focus is to create robust skill acquisition programs in every local govt and incentivise companies to hire grads of this program. We will tackle drug addiction as a health issue not a criminal one.
I unapologetically will fight this current system not with guns but with jobs, kindness and engagement. We will will declare a state of emergency on youth unemployment and tackle it systematically. I am not banning the people, I am removing a system and empowering them to live better and more productive lives.

How feasible is this, considering that there are hundreds of thousands of such youths? How could you possible "rehabilitate" these multitude of uneducated young men who have lived virtually all their lives on the streets within just four years? Are you really considering the economic, time, and human resource consequences such a project may demand?
