"I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." John 17:15,16 KJV
In the world, dual citizenship is permitted and one can be ruled by the different cultures of the lands.
A man who lives a sane life in one country where sane way of life prevails can live otherwise when he gets to another land to which he also belong; adapting to the prevailing cultures of the lands.
But as believers, our citizenship is in heaven; we belong to the kingdom of God and we have culture and value system.
Dual citizenship is not permitted in the kingdom, wherever you are as a citizen of God's kingdom, you're rather an ambassador and you are not permitted to nationalise in culture and values.
No idea, culture, value, principles of operation, etc. from the kingdom of this world is permitted in the kingdom of our Father.
Watch therefore O comrade, lest you nationalise yourself by adopting the culture of this world to lose your citizenship of the eternal kingdom of God.
Which culture informs your way of life? A man from Hausa Kingdom is easily identified by his dress, outlook and tone of language. By these same standards, can anyone easily identify you as a citizen of God's kingdom? Watch!
None of us shall lose out in the end in Jesus' name.
Shalom.
