Advanced Citizenship

The United States of America is called a free nation, mainly because it has a system of democracy that gives citizens a ��right to choose��. This is called ��advanced citizenship��. I am so thankful to live in a country that gives me the freedom to choose, and make decisions that affect the future of me and my family. We can choose a candidate for public office; we can choose where we live, where we work, where we shop and so much more. Some countries won��t allow its citizens to make any choices! The United States is a great place to live because it has established guidelines, or as we call it, our ��constitution��, to govern the citizens and provide the boundaries for their safety and comfort.

God has also provided a ��kingdom�� on this earth and has filled it with His provisions and protection for the ��citizens�� who choose to dwell in it. The Kingdom of God is governed by Jesus Christ, and the laws are very simple. You are to ��love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself�� (Matthew 22:36-40). Like the USA, this Kingdom also has a ��constitution�� and it��s called the Bible. The lifestyle is determined by the people who ��live by faith�� (Romans 1:16-17), because it is a spiritual kingdom. Deuteronomy 30:19 says, ��I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live��. God gives us the right to choose, and encourages us to ��choose life��.

As we learn and apply the promises and principles provided by the scriptures, we begin to build a life full of blessings, but faith without works is empty. There must be a “manifestation” of the promises to keep faith alive and active! If we dare to choose this Kingdom of God, and seek His Word for our lives (Matthew 6:33), and apply His Word by faith, then God does the ��works�� of fulfilling His promises and provisions for our life. God desires to manifest every promise in His Word for those who choose to have the blessings! That��s advanced citizenship! Start planning for your future today by choosing life and living it to the fullest. Christ Jesus has paid the price for you to be free and blessed, and His Kingdom awaits those who desire a life of victory here on earth. Thank God for the USA, but even more, for the Kingdom of Heaven and the advanced citizenship it provides.
