TOPIC: DIVERSE SERVICES: Politics, Your Calling (7)
MEMORY VERSE:
Exodus 23:25.
25 “You must serve only the lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness.
BIBLE READING:
Daniel 2:47-49
47 The king said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is the greatest of gods, the Lord over kings, a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this secret.”
48 Then the king appointed Daniel to a high position and gave him many valuable gifts. He made Daniel ruler over the whole province of Babylon, as well as chief over all his wise men.
49 At Daniel’s request, the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be in charge of all the affairs of the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the king’s court.
Welcome to another weekend with God’s grace flowing within us in Jesus wonderful name, Amen.
In our generation, it has been seen as a taboo for a Christian to be in politics. We often criticize believers who run for a political office not knowing that some believers are also called into political offices. Politics is a ‘calling’ to many christians but “what will people say” has killed this call in Christianity. We always believe ‘calling’ is for the altar and not to politics which is not so.
Daniel rose to a political post with four different kings in his days at Babylon. At his request, his friends were also brought into power.
In the next chapter, the bible said,
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon. Daniel 3:30.
Some Christians are called to politics, to reign and rule the nation. Solomon said, In Proverbs 29:2.
“2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
When the called believer mount the politics arena God is in control, so therefore politics is also a call to some believers who are prepared for the task ahead of them. There should no more be criticism. That you can’t go for it doesn’t stop those that are called to do it. Politics is also a calling.
Good Day and God bless you.
