If God sets up the leaders of nations and removes them according to His will (Job 12:16-25), why would Christians presume to take such matters into their own hands and vote for this or that candidate? Even among ourselves, church members disagree on which political party, candidate, or leader should be in power.
Jesus teaches, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand” (Matthew 12:25). God's house should not be divided (I Corinthians 1:11-13), yet if we were to vote for a candidate who loses, we would have voted against God's will. If a professing Christian is trying to vote a man into office, and God is diligently working to install another man, then the Christian's vote is working against God.
