It is mainly building the tangible and intangible threads that hold a political entity together and gives it a sense of purpose. When you try to build a nation,<br> what you do is to create a functioning nation out of a non-functioning one. \n\nThe attitude of Christians toward nation building is not good at all and as Christians,<br> we need to change our perception on the we we build our nation. \n\nLeaders are important in nation building. When a football team is not performing,<br> the coach is changes not the players. So,<br> if a nation is not functioning,<br> in order to make it a functioning one,<br> the leaders must be changed. Mind you,<br> in order to create a functioning nation,<br> the citizens also have their role to play but the leaders are the ones to give directions. \n\nAs Christians,<br> we have to be political conscious. For you to elect a leader into office in my country,<br> Nigeria,<br> you need to have a voter's card. It's a shameful thing that many Christians don't have a voter's card. And we keep complaining that the people ruling us are ungodly. \n![images.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmRsFaoESyYfqg3u8P3fKYeppDC1emFpYtZvnEHtWbHE72\/images.jpg)\n[image source (https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=Christian+participation+in+Nation+building&prmd=niv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjTxZHm44_ZAhXDOxQKHQ9JAG8Q_AUIEigC&biw=360&bih=559#imgrc=yJTXAIAWYfr_eM:)\n\nBeyond having a voter's card,<br> christians must join political parties. So they will be involve in choosing who to represent the party. I've heard people say they will not vote because non of the contestants is credible. How do you want them to be credible when you are not involve in the process. Christian also need to join political parties in order to be able to contest and be voted for. \n\nWe must rise and build our nation. All the kings and prophets in the Bible were active in politics. From Daniel to Joseph to Nehemiah,<br> Ezekiel,<br> David etc. Bible is not oppose to participating in politics,<br> it is only oppose to doing the wrong thing. \n\nAs Christians,<br> let us take charge and move our country to a greater heights.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=Christian+participation+in+Nation+building&prmd=niv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjTxZHm44_ZAhXDOxQKHQ9JAG8Q_AUIEigC&biw=360&bih=559#imgrc=yJTXAIAWYfr_eM\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmRsFaoESyYfqg3u8P3fKYeppDC1emFpYtZvnEHtWbHE72\/images.jpg\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"christianity\",<br>\"politics\",<br>\"christian-trail\",<br>\"nigeria\",<br>\"flaminghelpers\" ,<br>\"app\":\"esteem\/1.5.0\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown+html\",<br>\"community\":\"esteem\" "
