Citizens of Heaven
Dearly beloved of God, since we are in Christ we are now citizens of the heavenly realm and we are God’s children. We have a legal God-given standing before Him in Christ.
God informs us by His Word that He freely gives us all things with His beloved Son. He justified us, and glorified us with him. In Christ, He blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm.
We are sealed with the spirit from God in the new birth, and that gift of holy spirit is the spiritual ability which energizes the nine manifestations of the spirit which were given to us for profit withal.
We have sonship rights, access, and heavenly privileges as God’s children. We are of the royal household of God.
Our citizenship is not of this world; we are citizens of the heavenly realm; we are seated there in Christ. This citizenship supersedes any worldly status.
In the Kingdom of God we are free indeed. This is the only true liberty any man will ever know. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, beloved. You are the Lord’s freeman.
God instructs us to pray for those in authority so that we can live a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty, for this is good and well pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Whatsoever we do, we should do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. We should do all things with singleness of heart unto Christ; not with eye service, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.
We should have the same care for one another; we are members of the body of Christ. Who has this world’s good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him? Let us not love in word only, but in deed, and in truth.
God instructs His children to give liberally recognizing that God will multiply our seed sown. He cares for us. He is our sufficiency in all things, all of the time. He promises that as we give, He will bless our seed sown, and multiply it back to us pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
God our Father is not limited by current economic conditions, inflation, rising prices, the price of gold, the condition of the stock market, or any other economic condition. His resources are unlimited; He is a fountain of living waters, not a broken cistern.
God desires that we are in good health and that we prosper even as our soul prospers.
Look to your Heavenly Father for the answers you need in this life and take Him at His Word. Walk with Him by believing His Word. He is your sufficiency in all things.
Never forget you are God’s dearly beloved and highly favored child, His pearl of great price, begotten by His spirit, His heir. Don’t allow anyone or anything to talk you out the Father’s great love for you. You are dearly beloved by Him, and highly favored in His sight.
God our Father will not forsake you, and He will never, never, ever leave you, dearly beloved. As citizens of heaven He has given us the victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not be deceived; God is our sufficiency in all things.
Keep your eyes on His coming; it could be any day now, maybe even today! Live love, dearly beloved.
