LIFE IN THE KINGDOM.
The Church and Politics:
In my last post I said that the Church is not just to participate in politics, but she is the heart of politics. How do you mean? Someone may ask. I am saying that the Church is supposed to determine the party and the candidates that should win in each election. Naturally,'even the politicians know that God is not only involved in politics but the one who gives victory in election. But, because the church in Nigeria is not up and doing in this key role, they go to the wrong places to look for power to win in elections.
Do you know that in the Old Testament it was the Prophets that anoint or appoint kings? (1Sam.16:1,12,13) The prophets were the mouth piece of God. The Church is the mouth piece or God's representative on earth now like the Prophets in the OT.
I am not saying that only the Church or the Christians are to rule in Nigeria, but that the Church has the divine authority to determine who should rule in Nigeria. But when men slept, the enemy sowed tares. The Church must wakeup from her slumber and take her place to guide the political life of Nigeria in the right direction or the devil will continue to have a field day, and we will continue to groan.
