Lessons For NZ Christians from Kenyan Christians In Their Elections

Christians in Kenya form the majority - accounting for 56% of the 32 million people there.
No where is the fire of the Holy Spirit burning more passionately in Africa than in Kenya.
They have the largest percentage of evangelicals in Africa - compared to say 34% Christians in South Africa and 26% in Nigeria.

But in Kenya's elections of Dec 2007, the Christian voice was not heard at all.
There was violence after that election when the opposition party claimed that they should have won but did not win. The NY Times (2 Jan 2008) reported that a mob burned to death dozens of people seeking refuge in a church.

To stave further violence, there was a power-sharing agreement naming the opposition leader, Odinga, as the Prime Minister.

However, reports surfaced last year that Odinga had promised to implement the Islamic Syariah law and incorporate it as part of the Constitution if he receives the Muslim vote in the country if he was elected President.
Muslims account for 6% of the population.

The question then is - Where is the Christian voice with 56% vs the 6%?

What relevance has it got to do with the elections in NZ?

Do you know how many Christians are there in NZ?

There are just over 2 million Christians in NZ accounting for 51% of the population.
Isn't this statistic similar to Kenya?
Christians are a majority (51%) just like the Kenyan situation with 56%.

Is the Christian voice heard at all in NZ? Is it like Kenya?
Will it degenerate to Kenya's situation?
Perhaps not in terms of violence.
But in terms of legislation, the Christian voice is not heard.

Pray for the Christian leaders of NZ to have a unity of mind and heart.

What is it that prevents Christ Body from uniting to have a Christian voice and a Christian Prime Minister and a Christian dominant party in NZ - after all Christians are the majority?
