A DEVOTIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL UPDATE FOR CHAMPIONS
DATE: SATURDAY 16TH FEBRUARY, 2019
TOPIC: THE BATTLE OF CITIZENSHIP – Part 1
BASIC SCRIPTURES: COLOSSIANS 3:8-17;
PHILIPPIANS 3:20
In what could be the most dramatic move yet in his hard-line immigration campaign, President Trump has planned to sign an executive order that would remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on U.S. soil.
The president says he wants to sign an executive order ending the practice of given citizenship to those who are popular called “anchor babies”. The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, written in 1868, states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United State and the State wherein they reside.” Trump insists that the words, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means that he can change the law without amending the Constitution and can do so with an executive order! 7.5% of all births in the U.S. (about 300,000 per year) are illegal immigrants. And about 4.5 million American citizens under age 18 are born to illegals.
Only about 30 countries, including Canada, guarantee some sort of birthright citizen, known as “JUS SOLI” (right of the soil).
Other grant citizenship based on the principle of “JUS SANGUINIS” (right of the blood) – where children can only inherit citizenship from their parents, not their birthplace. For example, India abolished “JUS SOLI” in 2004 when thousands of illegal immigrants entered the country from Bangladesh. So as the nations of the world are debating IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS, the Holy Ghost wants to use today’s devotional to remind you that YOU ARE A CITIZEN OF a better country – heaven. Your Citizenship is after the order of “DIVINE JUS SANGUINIS” because it came THROUGH THE RIGHT OF THE BLOOD of your unbeatable Father God! You got Born Again and no man or power can BAN your citizenship in Christ! See Colossians 3:1 – “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” Your passport to heaven is stamped, ‘CITIZEN’ through “JUS SANGUINIS” the minute you accepted Jesus as your Saviour… (More in tomorrow’s devotional encounter).

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 4: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less…
1. Pray about today’s word generally as led now.
2. Lord Jesus of Nazareth, thank you for sharing Your RIGHT AS the SON and HEIR of ALL CREATION with me!
3. I am a CITIZEN of heaven and I am here as an AMBASSADOR! Therefore I resist every satanic plan to push my FOCUS from my FINAL HOME!
4. Satan, I became a CITIZEN through “JUS SANGUINIS” – THE BLOOD OF JESUS! Therefore I decree: THE BLOOD of Jesus Christ is against you TODAY and indeed this year! The BLOOD is your STOOPPER and BLOCKER in Jesus name.

Song 4: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Chorus
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Supports me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul give way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
