Politics
Christianity Is Above Everything – Osinbajo Declares
Acting President, Pof. Yemi Osinbajo has revealed that Christianity is above everything as he already had a blueprint for the transformation of the nation long before his emergence as running mate to President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2015 presidential election.
According to him, his proposed pathway for Nigeria’s development was developed alongside two other Pastors – Ituah Ighodalo and Kemela Okara.
He made this disclosure while speaking at the 7th anniversary celebration of Trinity House in Lagos.
Osinbajo maintained that the Senior Pastor of the church, Ighodalo, who he described as a politician, held several meetings in Lagos him and Okara with the aim of fashioning out a way forward for Nigeria.
“We were just committed to the idea that Christianity itself is a force for change, for transforming nations, men and women and for doing those things God has called us to do, namely disciplining the nations.
“Christianity is above everything; Christianity believes that the means of transforming nations are not controlled by the flesh and so, we agreed that unlike any other set of beliefs, Christianity calls up to sacrifice in order to transform.
“And so, we are enjoined to love our neighbours, to pray for those who despise us and pray for those we should condemn; even when we know that some would want us to fall, we are meant to pray for them and not to revenge.
“The compelling power of the gospel of Jesus Christ has not been because Christians confronted others by physical force.
“It has been because Christians had confronted others with love and compassion and with the strength of grace behind them; and that is what will change our nation and that is what will change the world.
“That is the fundamental of the Trinity Accord,” Osinbajo emphasised, urging the crowd at the Trinity House not to be surprised as to where the Lord is taking Pastor Ighodalo.

Osinbajo says what he believed and warship, so what is wrong about it. Useless politicians for trying to bring sentiment.

Deuteronomy 26King James Version (KJV) 26 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein; 2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there. 3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come unto the country which the Lord sware unto our fathers for to give us. 4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God. 5 And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: 6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 7 And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: 8 And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

am furious about those negatives comment made about his declaration if he has left the pulpit for politics that may be the fulfillment of God for him besides politics became dirty game because clean people left it for dirty people if in my own optimistic opinion osibanjo is an answer to the prayer that God should give us a God fearing leader.

We all know Osibanjo as a lier .Osibanjo your own christianity is in principle and not in practice .all am saying here is that christianity is not the loudness of the voice but the intensity of the spiri.

We cry over political domination, we cry over unfavourable policies, we despise n condemn those who have made minds to b there at d top. Is politics a sin? How can things go on well with us when we tagged an institution God made as black…
Let’s change our mentality less we wallow in our political pains with no one to fight for us cos we re voiceless though spiritual..
We complain more with no iota of our voice raised in prayers… Let Osinbajo be..God help u sir.

You people are wrong.Is there anything wrong with a pastor becoming the head of government?The answer is capital NO.Remember evil abound when Good people keep silence in the face of absolute wickedness and that is the reason why Hauasa/fulani dominated the political landscape of the Nigeria’s politics. As for whether Osinbajo was Called;It is between him and GOD Almighty.
