The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, has expressed concern about the low participation of Christians in active politics.
Henzodaily reports that Kumuyi raised the issue during a press briefing to herald the ministry’s annual retreat, tagged; ‘Power for present possession’ and the ‘Global Crusade with Kumuyi’ slated to commence on Friday at the campground in Ogun State.
Kumuyi submitted that Christians cannot complain about policy direction if they fail to make themselves available for nation-building.
Those without the knowledge of Jesus Christ will determine the fate of Christians and what the country becomes if they fail to participate in politics.
The clergy also urged elected leaders across various helms to consider the plights of the citizens, saying they were entrusted with the responsibility to bring out the dividend of democracy.
He said, “So, if the Christians don’t take part in politics, first off, it means that this side alone without any Christian, will determine the direction we go and will determine what the country becomes.
“And the Christians have no right to complain if they are not available to make things better.
“We all see the condition and what is going on. Our leaders are elected leaders, whether we are thinking of the local government, state and whole nation, or the federal government.”
