GOD HONORS the individual privacy and free will decision. God will never stop or prevent you from doing what you want to do. He will never interfere with your free will decision.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION is a matter of individual volition expressing its options. FREEDOM however demands that practicing religion be a matter of individual options rather than be mandated by the state.

A LEADER is wrong to force his subjects to worship a false god. In the same way, it is wrong to demand that they worship the true God.

GOD NEVER needs the sponsorship of any leader or state. Alliance of religion and state constraints invariably cloud the issue of the Gospel.

A STATE sponsored religion is anti-biblical. Believers in mistaken zeal should never promote or uphold legislation whereby the government supports Christianity. This is not a legitimate function of the government.

Christianity becomes anti-biblical when they support a candidate or a party. This is not the legitimate function of a local church. There is nothing spiritual about the believers supporting their most preferred candidate [1 Samuel 8:6-7].

THE BELIEVER’S SERVICE to God and to his nation never depends on his political, economic or academic status or that of his nation but on the great faithfulness and grace of God.

Anybody can work out his success story but real success comes from the Lord. Promotion is from the Lord not from self-effort.

FROM THE SAME faithfulness and grace of God that set up presidents, kings, establishes nations  He also abolishes empires, removes presidents and leaders that no longer fulfill God’s purpose [Daniel 2:21].

Regenerated Christians should never allow the state or any person (political or spiritual leaders) to dictate their spiritual life convictions [Daniel 3:18, 1 peter 4:19].

WHEN HUMAN POWER persecutes true believers- Divine power protects the saints in relaxed mental attitude [Psalm 33:9-11]. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity- man’s weakness is God’s showcase of strength.

God can turn cursing into blessing when the believer refuses to compromise. God cannot honors any compromise of divine standard [Daniel 3:30, Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 31:15, 37:1-10].

The welfare of a nation does not depend on political leaders but on God alone.

The function of the local church is to proclaim the Gospel not to ride on politics.

The function of the state is to rule the people by legislation not to intrude with the private volition of the saints.

There is nothing spiritual about supporting good beats in the politics. Supporting political party or individual candidate as “spiritual endorsement” is good milking cows for greedy pastors and religious leaders.

GOD RESPECTS the free will decision of every individual while some are playing little god in the lives of others. Every person is tremendously capable of making bad decisions that often results to terrible consequences. But there is nothing more terrible than allowing others to manufacture miseries for your life when in truth, you have also the ability to prevent it by making right decisions. 

It is your decision, it is your own life and you alone suffers the pains, miseries or glory.
