Text: "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." – Proverbs 29:2
Sermon:
Beloved, as Christians, we are not called to shy away from the affairs of this world, including politics, but to shine as light in the midst of it. Politics, when rooted in righteousness and justice, can become a platform for the kingdom of God to influence society.
The Bible is replete with examples of godly individuals who made a significant impact in governance. Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 41:39-41) used his God-given wisdom to save nations from famine. Daniel, in Babylon (Daniel 6:3-4), remained steadfast in his faith while serving in political office, influencing a pagan kingdom for God.
These men understood that their positions were not for personal gain but for fulfilling God's purpose in their generation. They were guided by integrity, prayer, and a heart of service. Similarly, as believers, if God calls us into political spaces, we must remember that we are ambassadors of Christ, called to reflect His justice, mercy, and truth.
However, we must also exercise discernment. Politics, if unchecked by godly principles, can lead to corruption and compromise. As Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:13-14). Our involvement must be a testimony of His righteousness, not a pursuit of power for selfish ends.
In all things, let us pray for our leaders, as Paul admonishes: "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
Conclusion:
As Christians, we must influence politics with Christlike values, remembering that when the righteous lead, the nation prospers. Let us seek God's wisdom and courage to stand for truth and justice, so that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
Prayer:
Lord, raise righteous leaders in our nation and grant us the wisdom to shine as Your ambassadors in every sphere of life. Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done. In Jesus' name, Amen.
