Christians involvement in Politics

We are called to be light and salt. A light cannot be placed under the table when it is light. The world is full of darkness and there is a great for the light that Christians have. Politics is just one of the many areas that Christians can make a difference by letting their lights to shine. The issues is not with politics, it is with how we go about our political activities. If we do it with the fear of God and act in righteousness there is nothing wrong with being a politician. Joseph, was the prime Minister of Egypt, Daniel was an administrator in Babylon, and both of them stood up for righteousness and refused to sin against God when the opportunity was presented. We need people with such a conviction to stand up and defend the rights of the downtrodden and marginalized. You can be one of them.

Politics is complicated, but that does not mean that we cannot understand the issues and take a position. There is nothing wrong in praying for wisdom to understand what is happening in the area of politics. We all know that, Daniel, Joseph, and many others were heavily involved in politics. They did well because The Lord was leading them. If God is leading you then there is nothing to be afraid of. Politics is tough and dirty and has always been so. This does not mean that we cannot succeed in it. Let us not forget that we all have different gifts, talents and abilities. Therefore one size does not fit all. Secondly, we will be rewarded based on how we honored God with what He has entrusted us with. Remember Jesus said, " Many will say we did miracles and great things in His name, but he will tell them to depart from him for they were workers of iniquity".
