The publisher of e-life, Dr Bola Adewara has commended the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) for creating a directorate for politics and governance in the Church and also replicating it at all levels of the ministry.

Adewara said this is not only commendable but very pertinent for all churches and denominations in the land to replicate. This will make the church of God take its pride of place in the land as envisaged in the word of God.

In a press statement made available to journalists after the announcement by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Adewara, author of several books and presenter of Mentoring Masterclass said, “Not many Christians understand the import of the verse that says …we are the light of the world.

Not many Christians understand the verse that says …”and the government shall be upon his shoulder” and few are those who know that … “out of Zion shall go forth the law.”

“The church is ignorant of the powers and responsibilities the Lord placed on her. We relegate ourselves to the background whereas the church should dictate the pace.”

“Fathers of our faith, in that past, taught us that politics is a dirty game and Christians should not come near it.

For this reason, the Church has yielded much space such that we are being ruled by the world and churchgoers with no conscience and love of the people at heart.

Now, the Redeemed Christian Church of God has, by this directorate, woken the the generality of the Church of God in Nigeria from years of political slumber.

The time is now

If the church of God is to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world that Jesus called her, the time is now to take the bull by the horn. The Church cannot sit idly by and watch the nation in a downward spiral.

CHRISTIANS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA GET LITTLE OR NO SUPPORT FROM CHRISTIANS IN THE SOUTH – Mark Lipdo (Stefano Foundation)

“The time is now for the Church to wake all Christians to participate in politics right from the Ward levels of the area the live.

The time is now for the church to synergise with all politicians, Christians or not, on the ethos of good governance, holding our politicians accountable for the promises they made during their campaigns.

The time is now for the church to push forward the right candidates and enlighten the congregations on local and international politics, without losing focus of salvation, the original purpose of the church.

Christians should wake up

Adewara said Christians in Nigeria should stop playing the victim of Nigerian politics always.

” If we are alive to our political responsibilities, we would not be played around like ping-pong. If our back is not bent, no one can climb on us like a horse.

All churches must wake up, create a political department like the Redeemed Church, that will educate and encourage their members to go into politics, be politically active and participate in community services.

Only through this can Nigeria be saved from the shenanigans currently bedeviling the nation.

Adewara congratulate Pastor Timothy Olaniyan, who was appointed to head the directorate, adding that “this is a great task before the seasoned preacher.

The examples and accomplishments made by him would dictate the necessity and survival of the directorate in the Redeemed Church and other churches that will emulate the move.
