The MOST HOLY CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS is the Holy Nation (1 Peter 2:9) The Kingdom of God is not of this world (John 18:36) as all the nations in the lowly land. The Church is a spiritual (1 Peter 2:5; 1Tim. 3:15) sovereign nation.

Citizenship of Her People

The Lord has made the citizenship of the faithful to be in heaven (Phil. 3:20). They are not of this world (John 17:9); they are pilgrims and strangers on earth (Heb. 11:13).

Flag

Flag symbolizes the sovereignty of the Holy Nation. Her people treat it with love and respect. As a spiritual nation, God gave her a flag to be raised and displayed for the truth (Ps. 60:4). It is also a symbol of love that should be proclaimed (Song of Sol. 2:4). The flag of the Church has three (3) colors which symbolizes her embodiment as follows:

RED:  

Red stands for the love (AGAPE in Greek) (Song of Sol.8:6) that abounds in the Church. 

WHITE:  

White stands for the righteousness, or holiness, which results from the hope about God's promise to His people or nation (Rev.19:8;  Acts 26:7).

YELLOW GOLD:

Yellow-Gold stands for the perfect faith that every faithful should possess (1 Peter 1:7).

Seal

A seal is an important instrument, which is used to authenticate ownership. It was used figuratively to indicate God's ownership of His people as in Rev. 7:3-4. The Church, as the Holy Nation, and whom God claimed ownership (1 Peter 2:9-10) has attributes some of which are represented by the following as depicted in the seal:

EAGLE: 

The eagle represents being the ambassador of God in proclaiming (Eccles. 10:20(b) the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven (Mat. 24:14; Eph. 3:10; 1 Peter 2:9). God Most High uses His trusted instruments (the seven Bishops or Overseers, ministers and pastors) (1 Sam. 2:5; Rev. 1:20; Acts 20:28; Rom. 13:1-2,4; Jer. 3:15) to administer the Church in accomplishing her key mission.
