OPINION: Should Christian Leaders Contest For Political Offices? by Nobody: 10:56am On Oct 12, 2014
I have argued this with some few peeps and so many have criticise Christian leaders getting involve in politics. But in my opinion I feel it so normal and no big deal, probably when the leadership of this nation is in the hand of someone who 'fear God', this country could be a better place. So is it a sin for true christains to take part in politics? What makes it wrong, or do u feel it might help us get the good leader we've been looking for?

If a christian leader can lead and play politics and not go against his religious beliefs, not compromise i see no reason why he cannot be a politician..

If any person believes he has what it takes to better the lives of the citizenry,engineer development and growth and he or she meets all the constitutional requirements to contest for the elective post,why not?

I still don't understand some people stance on the issue. If Christian are the light of the world, what stop us from contesting for elective position or seeking to be a politician.

All we need to is to continue to constantly pray for the grace and strength of the Lord God so as not to fall to the evil manipulation of the enemy.

Politics in Nigeria today is dirty and bloody because good men who has the fear of God in them are staying away from politics. If what we claimed is true that " we know the God we serve" then why are we scared of going to politics.
