THERE ARE SEVEN SYSTEMS THAT INFLUENCES THE SOCIETY.
1. Religious/belief system: religion is a
powerful force.
2. Education and human development system.
3. Business/economic system.
4. Government/political system.
5. The Family/social system.
6. The Media/communication system.
7. Entertainment (Arts/culture) system.
THE POLITICAL SYSTEM. The job of the church
is to raise leaders that will take care of all spheres of life. If you want to
change your life start by identifying the global problems. Build a team and
build a system that will enable you implement your vision. Create a system that
will reward you while you are serving. One person does not have enough to
supply to the whole world.
Romans 13:1
Everyone must submit to governing authorities.
For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been
placed there by God.(NLT)
Government is God’s creation and God’s idea. The
office the politicians are occupying are created by God.
Romans 13:2
So anyone who rebels against authority is
rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.(NLT)
God created the government. You earn the right
over a period of time through consistent obedience to the authority.
In other words, the national assembly can make a
law that will disobey the higher power such as that of God and nature. You must
not disobey the higher authority in unrighteousness. You can only do that when
the law of the authority in which you are bound is ungodly.
Romans 13:3
For the authorities do not strike fear in people
who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without
fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you.(NLT)
One of the purposes of the government is to
check evil. A good government will not allow arm robbery, corruption. In a
society where you want good things to happen, you will first start rewarding righteousness,
up-righteousness and those doing good.
Romans 13:4
The authorities are God's servants, sent for
your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they
have the power to punish you. They are God's servants, sent for the very
purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.(NLT)
The same way God created the church, he also
created politics. You can’t continue to see government as a dirty game. Some parts
of the Bible were written by kings.
Church is not a human idea, it is God’s idea and
plan.
FIVE QUALITIES OF A GOOD POLITICIAN
1. HE IS A MODEL CITIZEN: He is a law
abiding citizen. He is a role model and an example for other citizens. This is
the person we should elect. Where will you find such person? Is it not in the
church?
2. HE IS A BUILDER OF THE
SOCIETY. He is concerned about the common good of the society. He is a
social builder. What have you done for the society to deserve the position of a
leader?
3. HE IS A BUILDER OF ECONOMY. He is
a builder of common wealth. His way of making money is making people while
making money.
4. HE IS A PERSON OF HIGH MORAL
STANDARD. He is a person of integrity; he helps to raise the moral standard
of the society.
5. HE IS A BUILDER OF OTHER DESTINIES.
He builds people. He leads people to their dreams. He invests in human development.
He is a minister of God, an agent to check evil in the society.
If you are someone already in government, adjust
your life.
2 Samuel 23:1
These are the last words of David: "David,
the son of Jesse, speaks- David, the man who was raised up so high, David, the
man anointed by the God of Jacob, David, the sweet psalmist of Israel.(NLT)
There is anointing for government.
2 Samuel 23:3
The God of Israel spoke. The Rock of Israel said
to me: 'The one who rules righteously, who rules in the fear of God,(NLT)
A leader must lead in the fear of God.
2 Samuel 23:5
"Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes,
he has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and
guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success.(NLT)
