“Marvel not [do not
be surprised, astonished] at My telling you,
You must all be born anew (from above).”
John 3:7 (Amp)
Colonization: When
citizens of one country inhabit a territory
for the purpose of
establishing a kingdom within that territory.
Where is your
citizenship?
Now some may ask me
to clarify that question.
Fair enough.
Do you hold dual
citizenship?
No, I am not asking
if you are a citizen of two countries like the United States and Canada.
But I am asking if
you were born in one country or kingdom
and born again into
the Kingdom of God?
You see one is
temporal and the other eternal.
I am a citizen of the
United States of America.
But I am also a
citizen of the Kingdom of God.
One day my
citizenship in the US will cease when the US ceases to be.
The Kingdom of God
will never cease.
I can bring the
Kingdom of God to my spheres of influence now.
It is not a ‘...in
the sweet by and by…’ work.
His life lived
through me can bring the Kingdom today!
A Kingdom that has no
end.
A Kingdom where God rules and reigns.
A Kingdom Jesus
revealed through a life 100% surrendered to His Father.
A Kingdom of mercy,
compassion, love, justice, truth and the list goes on and on.
A Kingdom where the
fruit, the ‘produce’ if you will, are things like righteousness, peace and joy.
What a wonderful
Kingdom to bring.
No wonder Jesus
referred to it as the good news of the Kingdom.
But he said, "I
must proclaim the good news of the
kingdom of God to the
other towns also, because that is why I was sent."
Luke 4:43
So let’s challenge
ourselves daily with a couple of questions.
Where is your
citizenship?
What kingdom culture
are you living out?
