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 ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Shameful Calling?

After my last story about David, the official bastard. I got a call from someone, a lady and she said "Olanrewaju, can you please share my story on your blog? It would encourage your readers". After considering it, I decided to hear it first, but after I heard her story, I knew it would be perfect for you! I interviewed her and this is what I got: Olanrewaju: Can you please share your story with me? My New Friend: I will tell you about my life before I got married. I was a very modest lady who attracted praises from her parents, respect from the church members, admiration from the young men and of course, envy from some sisters. However, I remained humble, purposeful and pure. Even the pastor used me as an example as he was preaching one of his long sermons. Olanrewaju (thinking): That's a wonderful rƩsumƩ! My New Friend: I got engaged to a young man in our church. He was God-fearing and he loved me with the whole of his heart. We had our introduction in a mod...
