GOD’S JUDGEMENT AGAINST VOTE SELLING AND BUYING IN NIGERIA

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

     In every election season, many exchange their votes for money, food, or empty promises. Yet, God’s Word warns that “righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). When citizens sell their votes and leaders buy power with corruption, they sow seeds of judgment that bring bitter harvests to the land.

   One consequence is the increase in terrorism and insecurity. Without godly leadership, violent men rise to oppress the people (Proverbs 28:2). Families also suffer marital failures, for dishonest wealth brings distrust and brokenness (Proverbs 16:8). Those who profit from corrupt votes often face sicknesses and afflictions, because ill-gotten gain carries curses (Deuteronomy 28:22).

   Businesses do not prosper under stolen mandates; instead, corruption causes economic collapse and currency devaluation (Isaiah 1:22). Even the preaching of the gospel is hindered, for wicked rulers suppress truth and promote darkness (Proverbs 29:2).

   The church is not exempt—many believers fall into backsliding, influenced by corrupt leadership (1 Corinthians 15:33). Such an atmosphere gives room for the rise of occultism and witchcraft in politics and society (1 Samuel 15:23). Worse still, these sins attract generational curses, for God declared: “Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to shed innocent blood” (Deuteronomy 27:25).

   If Nigeria refuses to repent, the end result is national destruction. God removes His hand of blessing, and the land is left in reproach and hardship.

Beloved, selling and buying votes is not just political corruption—it is a spiritual rebellion against God. Let us stand for truth, refuse bribes, and pray for righteous leaders, for only then will peace, prosperity, and godliness reign.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and righteousness in the land .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome temptation.
