When Will Pastors Task Spirit Filled Members To Go Into Politics? by Mrsoft3(m): 7:24am On Dec 20, 2021
It's alarming the rate at which people with negative mindset spoil the government of this country. I wonder what makes christians feels they don't need to get involved in governance. The so many pastors are not helping matters alot. Evil agenda keep thriving because of his agents he has placed in different sectors of the government.

I was watching a documentary on this cultism war and one thing keep hitting me hard,the level of networking and the influence they gain over the years. Imagine a government with people who could do and listen to what God is doing in a season.

In the bible we saw how Godly people ruled with the fear of God,we saw innovation and development happening and we also saw how the ones who didn't fear God ruled, the Result was for all to see. We will continue to live under the shadow of this heartless people and still keep praying for breakthrough.
Ask and average christian what should be the solution to this problems in the country,they will simply tell you to pray. Prayer is Good but what about taking bold step's to enter into governance, change mindsets, promote unity and ensure development is a priority.

Enough of this pity game, suffering and smiling way of life we have chosen. This is a call for Christians to take the baton.

Its funny op doesn't know that most of the nigeria leaders/politician that spoilt the country to this level are Christian. Go and check federal parastatals, the corrupt DG and PS in federal ministries are mostly Christian some of them are even pastors and deacon of a church. Remember Nigeria VP is a pastor.

When are you. Joining a political party to bring the required change that we all desired.

Let me be frank with you,I completely believe and share in your thought but remember that in today Nigeria,religion,ethnicity,trabalism,nepotism all come to play when the elecrorate elect who to lead them.for example in today's Nigeria,will all the bad things that have happened,if buhari go for a third tenure,a large percentage of Muslims will still Vote for him.

A tree cannot make a Forest. The mass number of this kind of people will bring notable change, you don't expect on man to fight the many battles of the wicked in that place.

It is one thing to be called a Christian, it is another thing to fear God and be spirit filled.

A very interesting topic. I agree with you. Looking at the Bible we can see so many "genuine Christians" who were leaders. When I mention genuine Christians I mean "people who believe in God alone", and do not add mammon to it. There is no way a genuine Christian would step into leadership without making a difference. We saw it through the likes of Daniel (prime minister), Joseph (2nd in command to king), Melchizedek the high priest (king of Salem), David, etc.

Brainwashed doctrines/Christians believe that they aren't supposed to participate in politics some condemned voting in elections. Instead of backing up Christians spiritual/physically, and releasing them for leadership positions, they keep discouraging them. They forget that when righteous men are quiet in the land, evil must thrive. These same people will always say that "it is God who chooses leaders". So they expect God to choose a leader among the plenty evil politicians to rule them. It doesn't make sense.

So, it doesn't matter to you that Jesus Christ commands that those who belong to Him remove themselves from the world and its systems in order to become Holy and acceptable vessels for God - John 6 vs 25 - 44 - you would rather call on your Pastors and mogs and have them somehow move against God's Law in your desires? undecided

And it hasn't dawned on you that the worst kind of evil is the one that pitches itself directly against God Himself? undecided

This above is the reason why religious people are not fit to rule. Imagine asking your president to fix your issues and he says 'ishallah'. If you think Nigeria is bad now, you wouldnt want a Nigeria with a very religious leader.

The cultists you cited even though they are into spiritism, they know when action is needed, they need to move. They don't hope and pray. So realistically, they are better at ruling (however bad they are) than religious robots.

The group name "Christians" means "followers of Christ" and who is the Christ? A first century Jewish carpenter who later became a teacher known as Jesus of Nazareth!
During the time his people were dearly in need of a leader who will deliver them from their harsh Roman oppressive government Jesus started a movement, what was the agenda of this movement?

From that time on, Jesus began preaching and saying: “Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” Matthew 4:17

What did he order his followers to do?

These 12 Jesus sent out, giving them these instructions: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter any Sa·marʹi·tan city; but instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’" Matthew 10:5-7

What did Jesus have to say about the political system of this world?

Jesus answered: “My Kingdom is no part of this world. If my Kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my Kingdom is not from this source.” John 18:36

What about his own disciples? Are they expected to participate in the political affairs of the world?

"If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you". John 15:19 compare to John 17:14-16

But in whose hands the political system of this world is?

So (Satan) brought (Jesus) up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time. Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish" Luke 4:5-6 compare to John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19

What is the only hope Jesus gave his followers regarding the world's condition and political system?

You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your (Government) come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth". Matthew 6:9-10

So all those getting involved in politics today have no business with Jesus of Nazareth! smiley

Jesus Christ said we should no longer work for bread that spoils - the world's politics being the excellent example of food that spoils as the food it provides is impermanent. Jesus Christ said instead we should work for food that endures to eternity which only He can give...- John 6 vs 25 - 44. - yet you willfully ignore His teachings to assert this foolishness against God, why? undecided

He's not being antagonistic. He is actually making scriptural sense with this. Jesus said His kingdom "is not of the is world". There was a reason why the apostles didn't go the political route while spreading the gospel. They never preached for people to work towards attaining government positions, they preached for people to await a coming government rules directly by God.
