Happy Children’s Day 👫❤️

*God Is Interested in Politics—Because God Is Interested in the City.* Politics, from the Greek polis, means the affairs of the city—and God has never been silent about the city. In *Zechariah 1:17b,* the LORD declares: *“My cities shall again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.”* This is not just a promise to ancient Israel, but a prophetic pattern for our time. God’s redemptive agenda always starts with the transformation of His people, then extends to the Seven Spheres of the Society or cities, and ultimately to disciple their nation. In *Zechariah 3:1–7,* God delivers Joshua the high priest—the spiritual leader—from satanic accusation. Then in *Zechariah 4:6–9,* He empowers Zerubbabel—the civil leader—with the Spirit of Grace: *“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”* God does not separate the sacred from the civic. He moves in both the temple and the Presidential palace, the pulpit and the public square. When the Church in Nigeria rises in righteousness and leadership, God will visit our national leadership with reform, prosperity, and restoration. Just as prosperity flowed from Jerusalem to all of Judea and beyond, so shall revival and righteous governance flow from God’s house in Nigeria to Aso Rock in Abuja, the corridors of power. *The solution to Nigeria’s problems will not come from foreign powers or political parties alone—it will come when the Church takes its rightful place and God visits both the ecclesiastical and the civil leadership by His Spirit.* Let the Church arise. Let the leaders be purified. Let the mountains become plains. *For the time has come for His cities to be rebuilt, His kingdom to be spread, and His glory to cover Nigeria as the waters cover the sea.* #KingdomGovernance #GodInTheCity #KingsleySholaAyindeMandate

*Title: Ultimately, God Has the Trump Card—But You Must Play Your Part* As Nigeria moves toward the 2027 general elections, our nation stands at a critical crossroads. Corruption, insecurity, economic instability, and failed leadership have left many disillusioned. Yet, in the midst of this darkness, we declare with confidence: *Ultimately, God has the trump card.* This is not a call to passive hope—it is a call to faithful action. Yes, God is sovereign. Yes, He holds the final move in His hands. But throughout Scripture and history, *God uses people of faith to shape the destiny of nations.* Now is the time for Christians in Nigeria to rise—not just in prayer, but in participation. *We must register, vote, run for office, speak truth to power, support godly candidates, and advocate for justice and righteousness at every level of governance.* To effectively influence political outcomes, *Christians must take two critical steps: first, obtain their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) to vote in elections; and second, register as party members by obtaining their Party Registration Card (PRC).* Without the PRC, we cannot influence party primaries, candidate selections, or internal policies. If we are absent at the decision-making tables, others will choose for us—and often not in the interest of righteousness or justice. To sit back and watch is to surrender our nation to forces of darkness and selfish ambition. But to stand up in faith, with integrity, courage, and conviction, is to align ourselves with the purposes of God for this generation. We believe that *God’s trump card for Nigeria may very well be hidden in the hearts of righteous men and women who dare to engage the political space.* You may be that voice. Your vote may be that turning point. Your leadership may be the answer to our national prayers. Let us not be weary or cynical. Let us not leave politics to the corrupt. *Let us act—believing that God is still at work, and that with Him, nothing is impossible.* *The future of Nigeria will not be determined by political strongmen or wealthy godfathers, but by the will of God working through people like you.* *It’s time to rise. It’s time to act. It’s time to lead.* Because ultimately, God has the trump card—but He is calling you to play your part. #KSA.2025

Many Christians don’t sustain in prayer for their city, state, or nation because they don’t feel any responsibility for their region. If you live with a sense of responsibility, you live differently. If you don’t take ownership for your city, campus, workplace, or the people in it, you’ll disengage when something happens to threaten them. We disengage not because we are evil, but because we haven’t taken responsibility for our cities. “People sustain in the place of prayer for things they feel responsible for.” -Banning Liebscher

Hosanna in the highest! Hallelujah!

A statesman who acknowledges the Creator’s instruction manual—the Bible—advances the Kingdom of God on earth by aligning governance, leadership, and public service with biblical principles. Here's how this acknowledgment typically manifests: 1. Recognizing Divine Authority A statesman begins by accepting that ultimate authority belongs to God. The Bible is seen not just as a religious text, but as a divine guide for righteousness, justice, and moral governance (e.g., Proverbs 3:5–6; Romans 13:1). 2. Upholding Biblical Values in Policy He or she promotes laws and policies rooted in biblical ethics—such as justice (Micah 6:8), care for the poor and vulnerable (James 1:27), integrity (Proverbs 11:3), and the sanctity of life (Genesis 1:27). 3. Modeling Servant Leadership Jesus taught that leadership is service (Mark 10:43–45). A statesman reflecting this prioritizes the welfare of the people over personal power or ambition, mirroring Christlike humility and stewardship. 4. Promoting Peace and Reconciliation The Bible calls believers to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) and ministers of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18–20). A statesman may champion unity, justice, and healing in divided societies. 5. Encouraging Righteousness Nationally A biblical worldview views national righteousness as critical to a nation's health (Proverbs 14:34). A God-honoring statesman might work to foster a culture where biblical morality is not just private but public. 6. Relying on Prayer and Divine Guidance Acknowledging the Bible means recognizing the need for continual prayer, divine wisdom, and dependence on God in decision-making (James 1:5; Psalm 119:105). 7. Fulfilling the Cultural Mandate and Great Commission A biblical statesman sees governance as a platform to steward creation responsibly (Genesis 1:28) and to create conditions where the Gospel can flourish (Matthew 28:19–20), promoting justice and freedom for all. #KSA
