Church and the politics

Church in the past has been kept at the back when it came to the fundamental matters affecting the society. However, at this age there has been reciprocation where we see the church defining the politics of the day.
The change has been enhanced by the rise of the Mighty men of God particularly in Africa. These include Prophet TB Joshua from Nigeria, Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa and Prophet Angels from Zimbabwe.

The prophetic anointing they have propels them to speak on the future political terrain of a particular country. This has been regular with Prophet TB Joshua who has pulled renowned political figures globally to his church. Prophet TB Joshua has prophesied about the death of various political leaders in the globe. Currently he prophesied about the death of Bingu wa Mthalika, Malawian President. This makes the church to gain respect from the political discipline.

A close relationship between the church and the politics may to a larger degree help in the minimisation of the violation of human rights by the governments. Currently Prophet Makandiwa has prophesied about the chaos that is likely to arise in Zimbabwe but he urged the bigwigs to repent. In the past voice of the church has been silenced and even manipulated because the impact of the church in country’s developments has been subtle.

Analysing the current trends, the church in future is likely to have a gross impact on the choosing selection of the political leaders. Joyce Banda who has taken over in Malawi is said to have been spending bulk of the time at Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). Our Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai is said to have visited the SCOAN.
