The holy bible says "“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
This is an instruction from Jesus, God's people are the light of the world, Christains are meant to be in power not under whims of the ungodly. Many Christains have forgotten their identity that's why the church in this age isn't powerful

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeee ! they don't have the courage, honesty, duty, honor and integrity to lead, and specially kill. or they ain't christians. for example pedos love christians, as pedos can rape christian kids, and christian parents are too weak to ask for real justice : death, and even weaker to not being able to apply it themselves.
The world today is suffering because alot of Christians don't participate in Today politics, especially in Africa, they see politics as a sin a thing of the devil, when the bad people become leaders they complain and keep praying, it's high time Christian leaders start participating in Politics, The perspective should change, and the world will be a better Nation, E.G Abraham Lincoln was a Christian leader who involved in politics and he was able to defeat all his enemies physically and spiritually.
Politics is a dirty game I don't think Christian's should get involved in that.
This involves lieing, killing, a lot more you should know better, all of this hinders one from moving swiftly in the way of the Lord, no sinner is a Christian just so you could know.
I think you have other ideas and plans,you should be more plain please.
Christian's involved in politics aren't doing well at the end of the day.

Is being Christian the real root of the reason why these people are not participating?, I don't think so. As people in this thread already stated that the Bible doesn't condemned people because of their participation in politics.
I think the true nature of reason would be their lack of confidence that their vote would change a thing. That their single vote wouldn't matter amongst those millions of votes being tallied. That is the reason I'm thinking of.

The Catholics are already in politics and we have a lot of them in Africa. What else? But how did you know that Abraham Lincoln conquered his enemies spiritually? Let us not argue the physical aspect first. I like to read about this spiritual part so I can learn more of what I do not know about Mr Lincoln.
Christians in politics? No thank you...
We had chritians in politics in Europe in middleages and that was enough. You who promotes this crazy idea, what do you expect from it? Christians will just push their own religion and ideas by force to others, what is this good for?

The world today is suffering because alot of Christians good people don't participate in Today politics
Some parts of the world suffer more because there's no freedom. As long as good people (not only Christians) cannot take part in the politics, say honest opinion about their government, have freedom of speech, etc., those countries won't develop and prosper. They're always good people and bad people in any religion. 
King David in the Old Testament is a good example. He was a Christian even thouth the term "Christian" wasn't around yet. How do we know? David said in Psalm 110:1:
David's Lord was Jesus, being talked to by the Father. The point is that David became the leader of God's people. His fame spread throughout the known world. He was a prophet and the top political leader at the same time.
Christians of today must maintain their Christianity. If they do, they have the right and duty to pick up their power. But ig they don't pick it up, they will be held guiltless by God, even if their position in Heaven isn't as great as it could have been. Where is the Christian's power?
Matthew 7:7-12 Jesus said:
Guess who are doing this that Jesus spoke in politics? The crooks and criminals in politics, that's who.
This speech is taken from the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus is speaking to believers and unbeliever, although it is assumed that most of them are believers. But check verse 8. Jesus says "everyone," not only believers. So, when evil unbelievers ask, they will receive, just like evil believers. Check verse 11, Jesus calls them all evil, making no distinction between the believers and the unbelievers. All are evil.
Saint Paul and others tell us that God is not a respecter of persons. God punishes the wicked for their wickedness, and rewards the believers for the good they do. But He gives to all what they ask for.
You Christians. Get into politics and straighten the world out. If you don't, you will be punished for not doing the good you could have done. You have just as much power to ask and receive good things as the wicked unbelievers have to ask and receive bad things for the world.

7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

We can't can't blame people who their beliefs or religious practice are against corruption which chooses not to participate in politics because the foundation of politics was built on negative ambition before they could reach the position of power this is what changed people immediate they step into political journey even those who are also a Christian changed into a bad person cause that what they have to do if they don't want the big brother in their party to kill them, they have to submit to their decision.
Our leader is not the ruling us, it is their godfather.

In my own opinion i do not think you need to force christians to participate in politics if it's against their will because they have their own beliefs and principles. Politics involves corruption and i know that they are real evil especially when they hold such power to control everything. They're liars.
That's why i understood why christians don't want to support such system.

There's always a separation of power for church and state for most of all democratic country. Besides it was stated in the bible that people should honor the law so it means its not bad in terms of religion since Christ mention it on one of the Bible verses. It will be bad if there's a corruption involve bu the government in general is good because it was establish to properly manage the people's life.
The corrupt politicians is the real evil.
