OUR CHRISTIAN CONDUCT DURING THIS ELECTION:
1. As a Christian and minister of the Lord, we represent CHRIST, NOT POLITICAL PARTY OR POLITICIAN. If you do not speak or act in wisdom, it will NOT reflect on the politician or the political party, it will reflect on CHRIST and THE CHURCH! Think about this when you start promoting your candidate.
2. Promote your candidate by sharing their merits, what they have done and what they can do, not by discrediting or destroying their opponents. It is not appropriate for us who claim to follow Christ to make other candidates look bad just to make our candidates look good.
3. Make sure that what you are saying are confirmed facts, not hearsay or fake news. Christians do not slander or casts slurs against others.
4. No matter who your candidate is, remember THEY ARE NOT PERFECT. They have flaws, failures and faults and can be corrupted with power and money. So, do not treat them like gods or goddesses that can do no wrong.
5. Politicians come and go, and Elections are temporary, your calling and ministry will go on after they serve their term. Do not destroy your relationship with other people, especially with fellow believers in Christ because of your politician or political party. We are called to put our minds on eternal things and not on temporary ones. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
6. Do not get embroiled in pointless debates and arguments that would diminish your witness and besmirch or destroy the name of Jesus. Whatever you do, protect the Name of your Lord and Savior and your church & ministry.
7. Make sure that your passion for your candidate does not exceed your passion for Christ. You owe your life and eternity to Christ. God redeemed you and called you by name, your candidate may not even know who you are. You owe nothing to your candidate.
8. Do everything with love as your motive. If you cannot do it out of love, don't do it!
9. Do not use your pulpit to campaign for your politician, it is your platform to preach Christ and Him Crucified. (1 Cor. 2.2)
THE LORD BLESS YOU
