paroikos
par'-oy-kos
From
G3844 and G3624; having a home near, that is, (as noun) a by-dweller
(alien resident): - foreigner, sojourn, stranger.
We have Christian (citizens of Heaven) refugees on this planet
They are scatted everywhere in many places of the world
They cannot return to their homeland and they are not yet
At the place they would like to be
Some of their conditions are miserable
By the standards of the world yet
They have chosen it above what they had before
They love the Lord and they have become all things to men
The idea of the Christian being a "refugee" is useful
(I Peter 2:1 1)
There are millions of political refugees in the world today
They are scattered in camps in many places in the world
Their present conditions are often "miserable"
By the standards of the world, yet
They have chosen it above what they had before.
They live hoping for a better future
Some will obtain it now and will not
Some die in misery while others live in joy
Whatever the situation God is with the saint
We were sent here for a purpose
We must glorify Him in our new domain
This is why He has given us dominion and
More important we have His Name which is all that we need
Let us love one another as Jesus has loved us
He was also a foreign in this land and
He brought His Father’s Kingdom to planet earth
Let us do the same—this brings God Glory
