HATE POLITICS!
That fateful Sunday, Danjuma felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and excitement. He got ready for service earlier than ever before. On his way to church, a voice seemed to rise from within him, asking, "If you were called to be the next departmental president, what kind of president would you be?"
This question unsettled him, and as he neared the church, his mood began to shift. Politics was something he'd always been discouraged from engaging in, ever since his childhood. So why was he now feeling such an internal prompting?
"The topic of my sermon today is Politics and Power: The Driving Forces for Change," Pastor Bako declared as he began. Danjuma’s unease grew as conflicting thoughts swirled in his mind. “Politics and power are inseparable forces that can be used to create positive change”, the pastor said. “But unfortunately, today, many believe the opposite. Why? Because too many Christians view politics as something demonic. I love politics. If I had the opportunity, I would have become a political leader, because with it, and with the right people around me, I could easily transform the world for Jesus. Look at Daniel, Nehemiah, David, Abraham—these were men who used leadership and politics to change their generations for the better."
Pastor Bako’s words stirred something within Danjuma, and he returned home that day with a simple prayer: "Lord, if it’s Your will, let it be done." Later that year, he was appointed Faculty President. At the award night that followed his tenure, much was said about him as a true leader.
The Dean had this to say: "In my years of lecturing, I’ve seen many students become presidents in schools and faculties. But today, I can proudly say I’ve found a true leader. Throughout his tenure, one thing Danjuma always said was, ‘The welfare of the students is my priority.’ I’ve also noticed that the rate of crime in the school dropped to zero due to both his evangelistic outreach and leadership style. I used to hate politics, but Danjuma has changed my perspective. He has shown me that politics can be a tool for positive change."
Are you a leader or just a manager?
Is politics merely a game to you, or is it a tool for transformation?
We are the change we desire.
God is depending on you—how long will you keep failing Him?
