Every human being has a worldly citizenship based on where they were born or passing the requirements to become a new citizen of another country.
If you are a follower of Jesus your citizenship is in heaven and you are entitled to all the promises of God. You cannot claim your heavenly citizenship until Jesus comes back to gather His church or your life on earth comes to an end.
While you are waiting, Jesus is a work to transform your earthly body to conform to the glory of God. This is God’s eternal plan to subdue all things which are in heaven and earth to Jesus.
The Christ follower is a stranger on the earth during His journey to the kingdom of God. You were not designed by God to find the righteousness or peace of Jesus on the earth. Your enemy is the world which is under the control and influence of Satan.
The Christ follower can never fit into the world which is the antithesis of God. The believer must develop the mindset that “He who is in Me is greater than he who is in the world.”
The Holy Spirit is your precursor of Heaven and safety net until you reach your final destination.
You can overcome the world through prayer, Bible study, and listening for the voice of God.
Learn to praise God for who He is!
God is greatness, power, glory, victory and majesty. Everything in the heaven and earth is under His dominion. He is exalted as the head over all.
Most importantly, give the Holy Spirit authority over your life and train your mind to be conscious of His voice at all times. The world will disappoint you. God is your only hope for an abundant life.
Jesus is a very personal God. He shares His life and attributes with faithful believers until they reach their heavenly destination.
