Christians and Elections


Nigeria is all set for her general election in and it is important that believers know God's word about election. All through the scripture, we see that the LORD supports government. His form of government is theocracy. This is what we will have during the millennial reign of Jesus on the earth. However, the best form of government for the fallen man is democracy.

In electing a new leader for a territory, God is always involved in matters that affect territories and so is the devil and wicked spirits in the heavenly places. God has a will that He seeks to be established however, He doesn't force a candidate on a people except they pray. Kenneth Hagin said that it is as if God is handicapped when we don't pray.

Paul said we should always seek to understand what the will of the LORD is. Prophets have been making differing pronouncements about who will win. It is important to note that a prophet seeing a particular winner does not mean that that candidate is the will of God. God's will is not fully established on the earth yet.

If you see any vision about the coming elections, make sure you seek for wisdom from God before you make it known. God definitely have a choice, however His choice may not win the election except there is enough prayers. God does not interfere in our affairs unless we call Him. In fact, His candidate may have been dropped at the primaries.

Now, as a believer, it is your responsibility to pray and vote. Our prayers have the legal right to oust the agenda of the wicked spirits over the nation that seeks to pervert the will of God. We must release enough spiritual energy to drive the counsel of God into manifestation. How do you choose who to vote for? Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you. He knows who you are supposed to vote for. Yield to Him even if you feel otherwise.

Lastly, it is very crucial that you do not collect any form of incitement from any candidate because that would make you lose your authority in the place of intercession. Many prayers are being offered from a corrupt stand point and that is why we often do not have enough effective prayers.

Stay away from any form of bribe. The value of your vote means a lot to God as we are the only ones that can bring to pass His counsel on the earth. Do not disappoint God.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...
