"YOU ARE FELLOW CITIZENS MEMBERS OF GOD'S HOUSEHOLD...A HOLY TEMPLE (EPHESIANS 2:19 )
THE REALITIES OF OUR HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP
If your children stood outside your house pleading to get in, what would you think? Would you say, 'come in you are my flesh and blood, I love you, you done need to beg? Well we can come into God's presence at any time. We are no longer strangers...but fellow citizens of the household of God... A holy temple. What a great privilege. These are the realities of our citizenship
1) As ' fellow citizens' we represent God's kingdom on earth. We are His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). What does an ambassador do? You ask. He stays in communication with his king, understands his will and makes sure it's carried out to the letter. He also knows he doesn't belong in his hosting country permanently., so he lives ready for recall at any time, at a moment's notice. Getting the idea?
2) because we belong in the household of God we can come confidently before God at any time, with any need. And know that we will be received with love. God is the father you always hope for and you are the child He always wanted. If you have any doubts look at the cross; that's how much God values you. Remember every family member is supposed to contribute, be loyal, make sure the family good name is protected.
3) As God's household, we are a holy temple. In the old testament God has a temple for His people, but now God has His people for His temple. The Bible says, 'Do you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. Therefore honour God. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Isn't is wonderful to know the very God the whole world is searching for lives gloriously within you. When you live with these realities you start to walk in a realm of divine possibilities that few know about.
Prayer Point
Father, thank you for making me your ambassador on earth. I will not disappoint my generation in Jesus name.
