The most mischievous thing in life is man’s reluctance to perceive his own dominion. God has given us dominion over all things, but we shrink like frightened children from assuming it, although that assuming is the one and only escape for us.
Jesus, who knew the human heart, and understood our weakness in this respect, commands us,
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened (Matthew 7:7-8) .
Is not this the Magna Carta of personal freedom for every man, woman, and child on earth? Is not this the decree of the emancipation of the slaves of every kind of bondage, physical, mental, or spiritual? We have no business to accept ill-health, or poverty, or sinfulness, or strife, or unhappiness, or remorse, with resignation. We have no right to accept anything less than freedom and harmony and joy, for only with these things do we glorify God, and express His holy will, which is our raison d’etre.
We are to reorganize our lives in accordance with his teaching, continuously and untiringly until our goal is attained. That this attainment, that our victory over every negative condition is not merely possible but is definitely promised to us, finds its proof in these glorious words.
How many times do we fail to knock, seek and ask God for what we need? It is oftentimes when we don’t want to assume the responsibility of acting on God’s will for our lives. When we shirk our responsibility to carry out God’s will and to shoulder the yoke of dominion, we are thwarting the flow of God’s infinite blessings and are being disobedient. Assume dominion today and live in the joy, peace harmony and love that God intended. Accept responsibility today and enter the Garden.
In acceptance,
