Release of Rights

We live in a world that is full of rights. Our particular culture is one where we take pride in our rights.  Although the rights of individuals are protected by the Constitution, as we see the demand for individual rights increase, we see much of the moral fiber of our society decrease. Our Lord Jesus Christ laid down his rights and all His glory in the heavens to become a man and to serve, not to be served. (Phil 2:5-11 and Mark 10:45)

We ask you to consider laying down your rights on this mission trip. Not to lay them down for better or for worse, but to entrust them to the Lord or transfer the responsibility for them to a place of safe keeping. These rights may seem reasonable but on a short-term mission trip they could cause dissension. Would you take time to search your heart and willingness to surrender your rights to the Lord?

Romans 12:1 

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

I GIVE UP MY RIGHT TO:

• A comfortable bed
• Having three meals a day
• Having familiar food
• Dressing fashionably
• Seeing results
• Control of myself
• Control of others
• Control of circumstances
• Having pleasant circumstances
• Making decisions
• Taking up offense
• Being successful
• Being understood
• Being heard
• Being right

I ENTRUST TO GOD:

• My strength and endurance
• My health and strength
• My likes and dislikes of food
• My security in Him
• His purposes and fruit in His timing
• My need for His Spirit control
• His workmanship in others
• My circumstances to His purposes in making me Christ-like
• The privilege of suffering for His sake
• His sovereign hand on my life
• My deepest needs
• My security in His love
• My reputation
• My need for recognition
• My need for His righteousness
• My strength and endurance

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