Mike Bamiloye calls out Christian disunity over support for Trump

Pastor Mike Bamiloye, the founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, has slammed divisions among Christians, especially in the United States, over support for US President-elect, Donald Trump.

He expressed his disappointment on social media, questioning why Christians appear divided on backing a leader he believes upholds Christian values.

In a social media post on Friday, Bamiloye shared a video in which Trump spoke about his desire to uphold moral values and his love for Christ.

Bamiloye, whose ministry is known for its faith-based films and messages, criticised Christians who struggle with deciding which party to support.

He argued that Trump’s party openly supports values aligned with Christian principles, whereas he claimed the opposition endorses policies like abortion, same-sex marriage, gender transitions, and the alteration of children’s gender identities in schools.

“What is confusing in the options?” he asked, suggesting that the choice should be straightforward for believers.

“I Seriously Love This!” he wrote in response to Trump’s video, adding that he was shocked to see scepticism about the former president’s Christian values.

“Before the recent election, I was so shocked that some Christians were confused about Donald Trump,” he stated.

PUNCH Online reports that Trump won the U.S. presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris in a surprising political comeback expected to send shockwaves worldwide.

Bamiloye noted that some American Christians question Trump’s messages on faith and good values, speculating that his pro-Christian statements may be AI-generated or inauthentic.

In the video, Trump acknowledged, “Our country needs a saviour, and our country has a saviour, and that’s not me. There is someone much higher than me, and that is Jesus. We just do what we have to do. Life, death, and the resurrection of Jesus — all these are enough to save the world.

Without examples from His life and teachings—our miraculous founding, the Civil War, and more — none of these could have happened without Jesus Christ.”

In another comment, he stated, “Jesus Christ is the most famous person in the world.”

The post has since sparked widespread online debate, with reactions from Christians worldwide reflecting ongoing discussions about faith, politics, and values in modern society.

Responding to the post, Lekan Awe commented, “He should go further by following through. God hates hatred, but Donald Trump has shown hatred towards Africa.

“He should stop that. Preaching Jesus while harbouring hatred towards a continent is unholy. I can’t be swayed by his speeches. He’s a politician.”

Similarly, Jacob Aderounmu remarked, “This is how we see it, but God has justified Trump. This is a victory over darkness. To God be all the glory. Up Jesus, Up Trump.”

Ikechukwu Eric Anosie commented, “Any pastor not supporting Trump is selfish and only concerned with their own access to America, not with what Christianity represents worldwide.”

“Meanwhile, in Nigeria, due to tribal or other sentiments, many men of God refused to stand clearly for the choice that would promote Christ, good morals for our children, and progress for our country. I hope we are satisfied with the result of our silence,” observed Nina-Sylva Mma Stephen.
