The Role Of The Church In Politics And Governance Is Not Democratic But Moral- Pastor Poju Oyemade

According to Pastor Oyemade of the Covenant Church, the role of Church in politics and governance is not democratic but moral.

The clergyman took to his official X handle to make this known.

Pastor Oyemade said, the kingdom of God’s government and power is not democratic in nature but moral and result oriented, and that, It is God’s power demonstrated in character and by results.

He said further, “The reason why it can not be democratic is that democracy is a rule by the majority. If we therefore have a society where 85% of its population are aethists how then will the influence of God be wielded when they will always “lose” at the ballot box.

“The book of Daniel gives us a clear example of how God designed his kingdom to function in power within the world system.

“Daniel and his friends, through a system of peer accountability and focused and a result oriented approach to life, produced what was humanly impossible in a hostile culture.

“They defied the ordinary with a clear-cut supernatural lifestyle.

“Starting from the first chapter, we see the signs, the two edged sword. First moral uprightness and secondly a result oriented lifestyle.

“They stood their grounds on the conviction of their consciences but also declared they would come out as the most productive citizens in the land.

“The combination of these two (character and results) is our witness to the world and how we change culture. This is how even when God’s people are in a place where they are significantly in the minority, they can change the kings word and reverse hostile decrees.

“Daniel stood up for his beliefs, but you also had a long list of results that no one else in the environment could match, a supernatural lifestyle.

“This is where the Church should be playing. Can we boast of holding up to moral ideals in the workplace and at the same time being more productive than any other person in the market place.

“If we are sincere about national transformation, this is where we begin. This is what we need to teach.

“It appears that when public money is stolen, there is no distinction between the sinner or the saint. Religion doesn’t matter there.

“Our position should be high moral standards that can not be compromised, and at the same time, we are at the best on the job with ten times more understanding.”
