The Church will suddenly become irrelevant if it doesn’t address the political problem in Africa. For many years, we’ve been going through this political crisis—this problem of leadership. We’ve seen governments that are not working, bad infrastructure, insecurity, economic collapse, health systems in shambles, and educational systems in ruins.
Practically no aspect of government is functioning effectively in most African countries. Only a few nations are doing relatively well, but the majority are struggling.
And yet, Africa has more than 100,000 churches spread across the continent. That number is more than enough to drive change—massive, visible, lasting change. So, it is wrong for the Church to keep quiet.
Some may say, “But we’ve been talking to the politicians. We’ve been lamenting, admonishing, giving them instructions, yet they don’t listen.” But talking alone is not enough. What we must do is take effective action against bad governance.
The Church, being the body of Christ, carries power and influence over the political system. We can set up organizations, we can create movements that challenge the status quo. In fact, it should begin with the Church creating godly organizations and non-governmental bodies committed to change across Africa.
We cannot just keep talking; we must step out and act—whether through protests, demonstrations, institutions, publications, broadcasts, or massive social media campaigns that ignite, motivate, and energize the people. Many are weak and waiting for a cause to follow. The Church must lead that cause.
Things are decaying. The gap between the rich and the poor widens daily. Insecurity worsens. Inflation soars. Crimes multiply—kidnapping, drugs, prostitution, human trafficking. Evil is spreading, and we cannot fold our hands, saying, “We are advising the politicians.” That’s not enough. We need practical, tangible actions.
Pastors, bishops, reverends, papas, mamas, overseers—all of you leading churches across Africa—this is a call. We must do more than preach, prophesy, and declare. We must take solid steps. Yes, some are already trying, but we need more, and we need it urgently.
And we must address the root cause of our problem: the colonial demons still holding our continent hostage. Many African politicians are pawns to foreign powers—syndicates in the West and beyond—that continue to colonize and manipulate our nations. These are the strongholds we must confront.
We cannot sit idly, waiting for the next election, only to repeat the same cycle of disappointment. Elections alone will not save us.
In fact, each regime seems worse than the last. We must stop feeding our people with false hope. There is no hope in this system as it stands. We must change the course of Africa’s future, because our current leaders are driving us toward destruction.
Look at the greed: billions embezzled, while millions live in abject poverty, unable to afford food. Meanwhile, politicians buy luxury houses abroad, drive the latest cars, fly private jets, and squander national wealth on vanity. All this, while the people suffer. And the Church is silent? No!!!
The Church must rise. It must be an instrument of national transformation, a voice of righteousness, and an agent of God’s kingdom in our continent. If not, very soon, the Church will lose its relevance. People will stop listening, stop attending, and start seeing the Church as a powerless dog that could not bring change.
But we don’t want that. We want the Church to be strong—a major pillar of society, a force for good, a driver of freedom, prosperity, and national dignity. This is what we must do.
And I believe the Lord will help us. He will strengthen us to accomplish this mission, to bring liberty and restoration to our nations. Africa will rise again. Africa will walk the path of progress and development. And nothing will stop us.
So please, share this, speak about it, rise with it, and take action. God bless you!
