Citizen Privileges and Benefits in the Kingdom of FatherGod
Each Kingdom citizen has full access to every good thing in the Kingdom. WE HAVE AN INHERITANCE! Backed by a loving, wise and kind FatherGod who extends HIS goodness to HIS people both now and in time past. It is important to realize that everything now belongs to us as FatherGod’s Children; Join Heirs with Christ/Messiah; and Members of the Living Spiritual body of Christ/Messiah. EVERYTHING IS ALREADY PAID IN FULL BY OUR LORD CHRIST/MESSIAH. ALL THAT REMAINS IS FOR US TO RECEIVE OUR INHERITANCE.
These privileges and benefits should be enough for all of us to rejoice in, no matter what the economy looks like, or who backs the stimulus package! We all are thankful for being citizens of the Kingdom of FatherGod, Hallelujah, and we continually praise HIM for granting us an inheritance, the gift of eternal life through HIS Son, Christ/Messiah.
[2 Peter 1:3-5] 3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
[Colossians 1:11-12] 11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Citizen Responsibilities in the Kingdom of FatherGod
Our overall responsibility as Kingdom citizens is to live everyday in honor and love for Our Loving Heavenly FatherGod [2John4; 3John3-4]. Remember, we are the Temple of Our Loving Heavenly Father; HE lives in each of us, and is thus with us every minute of everyday. [Matthew 18:19-21; Ephesians 2:21-22; 1Corinthians 3:16-18; Ephesians 4:30]
The list below pertains to responsibilities of Kingdom citizens. Please note it is not a comprehensive list:
• Imitate and Love the Lord our FatherGod and Love our neighbor as we love our-self.
[Ephesians 5: 1-2] 1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
[Ephesians 4:32] 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
[Matthew 22: ] 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
• Be a good, honest, law-abiding citizen of the Kingdom of FatherGod, just as you are in your earthly country or kingdom. For earthly countries or kingdoms this means that you obey the various constitution and laws of the land. Similarly for the Spiritual Kingdom of FatherGod you obey the constitution and various laws, principles, rules, directions pronounced and established by the King FatherGod in HIS Holy Word.
• As an official Ambassador for Christ/Messiah, we represent and speak authoritatively for the Kingdom of FatherGod. In truth anyone should be able to ask and receive from us what they would ask and receive from Christ/Messiah if he was physically present. Just remember we may speak the word or lay on our hands however, it is not us but our Lord Christ/Messiah who does the work.
[John 14:12-13] 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
• Live by Faith, which works by Love (Romans 1:17; 2Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 5:6; 1Corinthians 13:4-8).
• Present our bodies as a living sacrifice holy, acceptable to FatherGod (Romans 12:1-2).
• Regularly meet and fellowship with each other (Hebrews 10:25; Acts 2:42; 1John 1:3, 6-7; Philippians 1:5; 2:1; 1Corinthians 1:9; 2Corinthians 6:14 and 8:4; Galatians 2:9).
• Fruitful in every good work (Hebrews 10:24; 13:21; 2Corinthians 9:8; 2Timothy 2:21; Colossians 1:10; Titus 3:1).
• Live happy carefree lives by casting all our cares on FatherGod (1 Peter 5:5-7; James 4:10).
• Control our speech to communicate encouragement and blessing to all (James 1:26; 3:2,10,13: Colossians 4:5; Ephesians 4:29; 5:19-20).
• Use our Faith, Patience and Love to receive and manifest our answered prayers (Hebrews 6:12; Galatians 5:6; 1Corinthians 13:4-8).
• Offer sacrifice of Praise to FatherLove continually (Hebrews13:15).
• Take no consideration to any evil that is done toward us (1Corinthians 13:5; Romans 12:17-21; 1Thessalonians 5:15).
• Show love and forgiveness to all regardless of whether they are friends or enemies (Romans 12:17-21; St. John13:34-35; 1Thessalonians 5:15; Ephesians 4:31-32).
• Live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece by putting on and walking daily in the whole armor of FatherGod (Ephesians 6:10-24).
• Study and Apply the Holy Word of FatherLove (2Timothy 2:15; James 1:22).
Moreover, our daily responsibilities provide excellent opportunities to practice and perfect our participation as a Citizen and Ambassador of the Kingdom of FatherGod. For instance, when ever we are about to begin a task we can quickly remind our-self that we are citizens of the Kingdom and we can determine how we can effectively use the resources of the Kingdom of FatherGod to help us to excel in each task.
Lets read and think about the following scriptures:
[2 Peter 1:3-5] 3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
[Colossians 1:11-12] 11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
We see that in order to partake of all the Kingdom of FatherGod has to offer is to first partake of HIS divine nature. What can be more pleasing to our Loving Heavenly FatherGod than to imitate HIM and Our Lord Christ/Messiah? In truth FatherGod does desire that we HIS Children become more and more like Our Lord, Savior and Brother Christ/Messiah in our daily life. Since this is also our desire lets explore how we can become more like Christ/Messiah:
[Romans 8:29] For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
[Ephesians 4:13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
As part of the process of becoming more and more Christlike, we are told to put off the old man and to put on the new man - please note that is each of our individual responsibilities and not our FatherGod's sole responsibility alone:
[Ephesians 4:22-24] 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
As a brief side comment, we humans approach self-improvement from the outside, while FatherGod first improves us from the inside. Ultimately, the outside will change to reflect the inside.
[3John1:2] Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
[Psalm 23:3] 3He restoreth my soul:
[Proverbs 23:7] For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
[1Samuel 16] 7But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; … for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
You are greatly loved by Our Loving Heavenly FatherGod (FatherLove) and our savior.lord.brother Christ/Messiah. FatherLove and Christ/Messiah live within each of you and you are FatherLove's very best masterpiece! (Colossians 1:27, Ephesians 2:10).
Love to each of you from Love, Faith & Hope Fellowship. And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1Corinthians 13:13
