Conquer your space

Get out of your comfort zone and take ownership of the place God has reserved

"Nothing falls from the sky," surely you have already spoken or heard this statement. It goes back to the idea that everything requires the price of our effort. God is so kind and gracious that sometimes we act like spoiled children asking for a blessing in a situation that we deserve to undergo a rigorous learning process. Zebedee's wife boldly asked Christ to do her a favor: let her two sons sit with him by her side in Paradise, one on the right and one on the left. The realization of this desire was more than a favor of grace, it would be like conceiving at the whim of a very zealous mother or someone who has always fulfilled all the requests of her children. As Teacher, Jesus teaches it:

"You shall drink my cup; but to sit to my right and to my left, it is not for me to grant it; but it is to them to whom he is prepared by my Father. "Matthew 20:23.

But what did Jesus try to say? Simple, there are things in the spirit world that are conquered "by effort," Matthew 11: 12b. God is just and does not grant anything in His Kingdom to people focused on holding positions. The Father loves the simple of heart. Want to go far? Or if! Do you want to receive God's favor? Go to the fight. Do not sit around waiting. You are more victorious and can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. God bless your day!
