*"STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God"* (Ephesians 2:18-19 (KJV)
_Bible Insight:_
A coconut is white on the inside but hard on the outside owing to it's shell. The same shell that serves to keep it till maturity, becomes most unwanted when it's time to break it & deal with its whitish flesh inside. So the shell at that moment of being ready for consumption, becomes a "stranger & foreigner" that's most unwanted. Meanwhile all along, before this time, the shell was highly needed, & preserved the fruits till the appointed time.
Likewise, up on till we become born again, we were a part and parcel of this world in attributes and attitude and purpose and pursuits. We needed them & they needed us & we both could not do without one another. But the moment we became born again, to the world we became like the hard shell of the coconut useful for nothing but burning. However, unto God, we have become a sweet taste for "consumption". God can now commune with us as friend to friend because we have become or are becoming one in essence & attitude, pursuits and purposes.
By the same measure we are no longer *"strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God"* This new position in Christ is not to be compromised. We are either strangers and pilgrims to and in this world, and fellowcitizens with the saints or we are strangers and foreigners to God & His kingdom and fellow citizens of this world, doing all they do, and being doomed eternally.
Hence we must choose one. We can't have or be both at the same time. However, blessed are we, when we know these things and we align ourselves to be strangers and pilgrims on this earth and boldly confess such. (Heb 11:13)
_MEDITATION:_
*"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul"* (1 Peter 2:11 (KJV))
