FIRE SCRIPTURE: Nehemiah 2:1-8 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.
6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

Patriotism refers to the love for and devotion to one’s country. As children of God, we are expected to love and show loyalty to our country; we should also pray for our country.

Throughout the Bible, there are several examples of patriotism that are worth emulating. Daniel was patriotic by interceding for his country despite being in Babylonian captivity (Daniel 9:1-3), Esther and Mordecai showed patriotism by praying and fasting to stop the wicked plot of Haman (Esther 4:16-17). Also, in our Fire Scripture, Nehemiah left a relatively comfortable position as the king’s cupbearer to spearhead the mission of rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall.
As a citizen of your earthly country, how patriotic are you? There are several practical ways of showing patriotism to your country. A good Christian should be a responsible citizen. He/she should not be found evading taxes. In Matthew 17:24-27, we see Jesus paying the temple tax even though He did not have to. He also taught in Matthew 22:17-21 that we should give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. So, it is lawful to pay taxes.
In addition, the Lord expects us to be law abiding citizens. Christians should not be found involved in criminal activities like armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, murder, drug pushing or any other activity that disrupts law and order. Christians ought to participate in the political process by voting; they should protect public property, report and prevent crime.
Most importantly, Scriptures enjoin us to pray for our country. This is the highest expression of love for one’s country. We should not join others to speak ill of our country and our leaders; we should rather pray for divine intervention in the areas of our national life that are not good enough. Take hold of God’s promises and prophecies concerning your nation just like Nehemiah did in Nehemiah chapter 1:8-9.
Ultimately, our citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20). While on earth, make sure to faithfully represent the One who has saved you and called you with a Heavenly calling. May the Lord help you, in Jesus’ Name.
