CITIZENS OF WHERE?

Many reading this when asked where you are a citizen of would  reply

by saying the country they live in currently. As a believer the place

on earth we live is only a temporary home for us. We are here as

ambassadors or representatives for Christ.

Think about the job of an ambassador. It is to represent his or her

country in an excellent manner in a foreign country. Are you a good

ambassador for Jesus where He has placed you on His earth? Are the

things you do daily bringing glory to His name or embarrassment?

Philippians 3:20(NIV) says 'But our citizenship is in heaven and we

eagerly await a Savior from there.' Ephesians 2:19(NIV) also says

'Consequently you are no longer foreigners and aliens but fellow

citizens with God's people and members of God's household.'  Isn't

that comforting to know?

Remember if your name the name of Jesus and claim to be His follower

your job is to shine the light of Jesus in the world around you. Go

out now and brighten the world around you. Where others are down help

lift them up. Remember in Philippians 4:13(NIV) it says ' I can do all

things through Christ who gives me strength.'

PRAYER: Lord I take my job seriously as a representative of the

heavenly kingdom. Forgive me when I forget that I am representing  you

and start to "act up" and do not shine your light. Every day I need

your help. I thank you for being there for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
