Release of Rights

We live in a world that is full of rights. American culture is one where we take pride in our rights. The rights of individuals are constitutional; however, as we see the demanding of individual rights increase, we see more of the moral fiber of our society decrease. Our Lord Jesus Christ laid down His rights to the heavens and all His glory to become a man and to serve, not to be served. (Philippians 2:5-11; Mark 10:45)

Consider laying down your rights on this mission trip. Not to lay them down for better or worse, but to entrust them to the Lord, or to transfer the responsibility of them to a place of safekeeping. These rights may seem reasonable but could still cause dissension on a short-term mission trip. Take time to search your heart and willingly surrender your rights to the Lord. Your words, facial expressions, and heart will say a lot to the people you are serving in Ecuador and could possibly ruin your Christian witness. Evaluate whether or not you are prepared to eat anything, smell anything, wear anything, sleep anywhere, and go without outside communication before arriving.

Romans 12:1

I give up my right to:         I entrust to God: 

 

coffee                                                           my energy level
the internet                                                    the ability to live like those around me
clean clothes                                                 my comfort and pride (occasionally we have no water in Shell)
a comfortable bed                                         my strength and endurance
three meals a day                                          my health and strength
familiar food                                                 my likes and dislikes of food  (remember they eat ALL parts of the animal here in Ecuador)
dressing fashionably                                      my security in Him
seeing results                                                His purposes and fruit in His timing
control of myself                                           my need for His Spirit control
control of others                                           His workmanship in others
control of circumstances                                my circumstances to His purposes in
pleasant circumstances                                  making me Christ-like
making decisions                                           the privilege of suffering for Him
taking up offense                                          His sovereign hand on my life
being successful                                            my security in His love
being understood                                          my reputation
being heard                                                  my need for recognition
being right                                                    my need for righteousness

 

I give God permission to do anything He wishes to me, with me, in me or through me, which would glorify Him.
