Kingdom Citizen

“So, then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” Ephesians 2:19            

As a citizen of God’s kingdom, you are under God’s lordship, which means you have access to His protection and guidance of the Holy Spirit. You also have the privilege of being part of a community of believers who share your faith and values. Being born again and filled with the Holy Spirit gives you the assurance of eternal life in the Kingdom of God, which is reserved for those who believe in Jesus Christ. With this you have the opportunity to serve God and others, and to make a positive impact on the world around you. Finally, you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are living according to God’s will and purpose for your life.  

As a citizen of God’s Kingdom, there are significant advantages that come with this spiritual citizenship. Let me highlight some of them:

Under God’s Lordship: Being a citizen of God’s Kingdom means you willingly submit to God’s rule and authority. Unlike earthly kingdoms that may force compliance, God invites you to choose His lordship. It begins with a change of heart, as Jesus emphasized: “No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again” (John 3:3). Surrendering your heart to God allows his kingdom to take root within you.

Protection and Guidance: Just as citizens of an earthly kingdom receive protection from their ruler, you, as a citizen of God’s Kingdom, are under His divine protection. Decisions are based on truth and righteousness, not personal or political interests. God's guidance brings order, focus, and consistency to your life.

 Eternal Life: Belonging to God’s Kingdom means you have the assurance of eternal life. Through the covenant made by the blood of Jesus, God has adopted you as His child forever. In uncertain times, this unchanging promise provides comfort and security.

Peace and Joy: Seeking God’s Kingdom brings inner peace that transcends circumstances. It also fills your life with joy and happiness. As you prioritize God's reign, you experience His provision, forgiveness, and abundant life.

Remember, God’s Kingdom; Jesus said to pray... Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  It begins in the hearts of the Citizens who choose to follow Him. The kingdom of God is ruled by love, grace, and righteousness. As a citizen, you have the privilege of living under His benevolent authority. 

We encourage you to claim your citizenship and faithfulness to the father in Heaven. Show his power with your testimony of His goodness in your life.  Wear it and most importantly show it.
