Just few days back I shared about the frustrations that I’ve been having. I read so many blogs and I see that so many people are looking for a change. They want a change in life, in career, etc etc etc.
Similar question like these were asked; Do I need a change? Do I need to change? What needs to be change? When can I see a change in life, in career? What needs to be done to change? You will see and hear all these questions going round and round.
End of the day. The answers are in our hands. If we wanna see changes in every aspect of lives, then we gotta make it happen. Don’t you think so? We can’t just sit and wait for answers. We gotta do something about it. For example; If you wanna see change in career, a better future, then you gotta first know what you really wanna do in life. Then you start looking for a job that you are capable of. Though we may not get a reply overnight, but at least we try, right? When the time comes then we will see change. We will get answers. All of this go with God’s timing!
Anyways…
“Change” is not my point here. I wanna share with you something else. (this is gonna be kinda long. Pls bear with me)
Last Sunday, I finally went back to church. Many times I walk my journey my own way, trying to do things my way.but somehow somewhere down the road I truly know that I need God. I need to depend on Him in many things. I want to depend on Him for my life is in God’s hands.
Rev. Kenneth shared a very beautiful message that day. It was something I needed to hear. It was for me. His message was about ‘RIGHTS’. About how God has given us the right as His children. He gave us the right to choose, to decide. We have the right in many things in life. He gave us freedom.
He said there are 2 types of right;
- The passive right – means you do what is expect of you. you may need to do more than expected.
- The active right – you have the right to get out of that boundary.
You see, we are like living in a box. A box where we are much comfortable living in. Therefore many times we only do things in the box and we will not cross that line to get out.
Let me give you some example:
a) You work in a company that provides you a car and also pays all of your expenses. Does that mean you owe your life to your boss? That you gotta do whatever he asked you to? Doing things that does not concerns your work but having you to do his personal stuff, doing and running errands for his family etc etc etc? NO!! you don’t have to do all this.
b) You live with your parents since young. But today you are a grown up and are planning for your future. You wanna marry a husband/wife. You wanna settle down in your own home, you wanna buy/rent a house with your life partner. But…Your parents want all their children to live together under one roof even after marriage life. But you and your life partner are not keen on that idea. You both wanna have your own place called home and doesn’t wanna stay with neither of the in-laws. What would you do? Would you just grant your parents wish and save your money from buying a new house, building a new home and family with your partner and ask your partner to tolerate with all unhappiness and continue staying in your parents home? Or would you put a stand, get out from that comfort zone and live happily ever after with your spouse? Even if end of the day you have to work really hard to gain the finance to move on or even rent a small apartment, would you do that to see that you and your spouse live happily? Life is ours and we have the right to choose.
What I’m trying to share here is that all these rules and boundaries are set by man. We have the right to break those rules. We have the right to get out from that boundary. Unless the boundary is set by God, then we must NOT CROSS!!
Many times we must learn to get out from that comfort zone we are in. If we stay too long then it could be dangerous too. Just like if I stay away from God too long, not attending church too long, then it would be dangerous for me. Because my spiritual walk with God will be far apart and then is where the devil will come and play with me, my thoughts, my mind, my life. The devil will grab hold of whatever opportunity it gets.
The devil will do all it takes to destroy us and our life. But we shouldn’t fall into the devil’s trap. Because we have the right to cast it all in JESUS name. For our sins are forgiven when God sent His only begotten son to die for us 2000 years ago.
“The thief does not come except to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10)
We are given the right to do the right thing. Do not walk in our own ways but let God take control of the wheel. Let Him lead the way. And we will never live in regrets. That I can guarantee.
Step out from that boundary, that comfort zone and we will see breakthrough in our lives. Everything that we ask in God is our right! CLAIM IT!! Amen??
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God,to those who believe in his name..” (John 1:12)
Use the right God gives us and break the chain of bondage that captured us and be set free!!!!!!!! For we have Freeeeeeeedommmmm in Christ!
