Power Over Politics

In these perilous times, many in the body of Christ are trading spiritual discernment for positions of power and political gain. The Church is called to be the pillar and ground of truth (1 Timothy 3:15), not a place where worldly agendas are masked in religious garments.

But the Word warns us:

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires… they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”
— 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (NKJV)

Instead of contending for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3), some have grown comfortable in lukewarmness, idolizing leaders, titles, and traditions more than Christ Himself. Political alliances and power plays have replaced repentance, holiness, and the urgency of the hour.

But let this be a call to the remnant, those whose hearts still burn for the truth.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
— 1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV)

You cannot afford to be spiritually asleep. Jesus is coming, and He’s not returning for a politically correct church, but a pure and watchful Bride.

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”
— Matthew 24:42 (NKJV)

🚨 What Should We Do?

1. Return to Sound Doctrine
   Stand firm on the Word. Measure everything, not by popularity or politics, but by Scripture.
2. Stay Spiritually Awake
   Refuse to be lulled by smooth talk and church politics. Let the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth (John 16:13).
3. Guard Your Heart
   Power can corrupt. Keep your motives pure and your eyes on Jesus.
4. Stand in Boldness
   Don’t bow to man-made systems. Be like the prophets of old who declared the truth no matter the cost.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…”
— 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV)

🙏🏾 Prayer of Clarity and Courage

Father,
We repent for the times we’ve allowed pride, politics, or power to cloud our spiritual vision. Open our eyes again to Your truth. Cleanse Your house, Lord, and awaken Your people. Let every false agenda be exposed, and may Your remnant rise with holy boldness. Help us to be vigilant, standing on the wall, declaring Your soon return. We look not to man, but to You, our coming King.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
