In light of the enormity of the recent elections, both locally and national(s), may I remind you that, as believers, we possess dual citizenships. We, as citizens of this great country, pledge our allegiance to the United States of America, however, we are also citizens of the Kingdom of God. Moreover, when we “Render therefore, unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God, the things that are God’s”, there is no conflict. When the citizenry of these United States really live out “We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed.” When the believer truly embraces this word: “For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ Is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore, follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another: (Romans 14:17-19). When we are “doers of the word”, then, change will have truly come to America.
