INTRODUCTION
The concept of a sovereign people called by God is deeply rooted in Scripture. Throughout history, God has called out a remnant, a chosen people who will serve Him wholeheartedly. This truth is reaffirmed in the Tribulation Declaration, which proclaims the sovereignty of God's people under His divine rulership. In this teaching, we explore what it means to be a part of God's Holy Tribal Nation, our responsibilities, and the spiritual implications of declaring allegiance to God's Kingdom above all earthly orders.
God has always sought a people who will serve Him with all their hearts, minds, and souls. The Israelites were called out from among the nations to be a people set apart. Likewise, in Christ, we are called to be a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, zealous for good works. This message calls every believer to understand their divine identity and commitment to God's sovereign rule.

CALLED TO BE A HOLY NATION
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9
From the beginning, God’s purpose was to establish a people for Himself. The declaration of being a Holy Tribal Nation is a reaffirmation of this biblical truth. As believers, we must embrace our calling and live in obedience to God’s commands. Our citizenship is not of this world, but of heaven.

SEPARATED FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." 2 Corinthians 6:17
God commands His people to separate from worldly systems and ideologies that contradict His divine will. This separation does not mean physical isolation but rather a commitment to righteousness, holiness, and obedience to His Word. Those who belong to God's Tribe must choose to align their lives with His Kingdom principles.

LOYALTY TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." Matthew 6:24
Serving God requires total commitment. The Tribalation Declaration emphasizes our supreme allegiance to God above all earthly governments and institutions. While we respect earthly authorities, our ultimate loyalty is to God's divine rulership. Our faithfulness to His Kingdom determines our eternal destiny.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHOSEN
"Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20
As members of God's Holy Tribe, we are not only called to be separate but also to spread His truth to the nations. Our mission is to declare the gospel, bring the lost to salvation, and provide refuge for the fatherless, widows, and strangers. This is our divine commission.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLION
"If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha." 1 Corinthians 16:22
The declaration warns against deviation from God's standard. Those who refuse to walk in His ways will face the consequences of separation from His presence. God has set before us life and death, blessings and curses—our choice determines our future.

SUMMARY
The Tribalation Declaration is a reaffirmation of God’s eternal plan for His chosen people. As a Holy Tribal Nation, we are called to:
• Recognize our divine citizenship.
• Separate ourselves from the kingdom of darkness.
• Remain loyal to God's rulership.
• Fulfill our responsibilities as His witnesses.
• Accept the consequences of our choices.

CONCLUSION
God’s call for a people set apart is not a new concept; it is a continuation of His divine purpose revealed throughout history. Every believer is invited to align their life with the Kingdom of God, to reject worldly entanglements, and to live in complete submission to His rule. This is the time of SHIM RA NA—the season of God's goodness upon His people.

SALVATION PRAYER
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, pray this prayer sincerely from your heart:
Heavenly Father, I come before You, acknowledging that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died for my sins, and that He rose again on the third day. I repent of my sins and ask You to forgive me. Lord Jesus, I invite You into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me in Your ways. From this day forward, I declare that I am a child of God, part of Your Holy Nation. In Jesus' name, Amen.
