POLITICS AND CHRISTIANITY

POLITICS AND CHRISTIANITY
While I was growing up as a teenager
I was told that politics is a dirty game and
I ignorantly believed the assertion because
Of the moral decay in our political system in Nigeria and
These I know that a lot of Christians are still suffering
From the same belief
Some denominations are even confused on the method
To apply in reversing thier negative teachings on politics
But the question is:
If politics is truly a dirty game, why are our pastors
Preaching to us on the need to vote
For credible candidates during election
To follow the crowd in the voting processes
Or to fulfill all righteousness
Until we see politics as a responsibility instead of game
We will continue to be slaves in our own country
Some of you may asked
What do I mean by slavery in this context
Slavery is the punishment you received
After giving out your political power to your enemy
This can be seen in some part of Nigeria
Nowander a fifteen year old girl was abducted,
Her religion changed and was later forced
To marry a man older than her father
Her poor parents were also pushed to
The valley of pain and agony
Because some evil men used religion and
And political power to perpetrate their evil
My bible tells me that people rejoice when
The righeous rules and that makes me believed
That it is not a sin for a believer to venture into politics
In fact it is the will of God
Because if the righeous rules
You will not pay a dime to be employed
If the righeous rules
You will not exchange sex for favour
If the righeous rules
Your right will not be deprived by anyone
If the righeous rules
God is always glorified in them
But when the wicked rules people groan
They groan because of nepotism
They groan because of corruption
They groan because of poverty
They groan because of injustice
I encourage christian at this juncture
To rise to thier responsibilities in other to
Take what belongs to the church
So that the next generation will not
Suffer what we are suffering today .
Thanks and God bless you
