A birthright is a natural or moral right possessed by everyone. Thank goodness we live in a world and dispensation where the dignity of humanity has significantly appreciated, where no man has the regal right to lord anything over another man. We live in a world of freedom to be who you want to be and to pursue your dreams and ambition within established legal framework. We exist and function within systems with support and enablement for freedom, protection, security, and ambition. This structures may not be perfect as they are established and managed by imperfect humanity, still it is far better than a primitive, brutish, archaic and despicable way humanity interacted and interrelated very many years ago.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have news for you, you indeed have a birth right. You have a natural and moral right to some very important things in life. You have a right to dream. You can have your own dream and you’re free to chase your dreams. You’re not owned by anyone or possessed as a slave who must only but do the bidden of the master, you have that independent right to become whatever you dream of. You have the right to dream.
You also have the right to pursue your dream. You can have a vision and chase your vision. Your inner eyes, your mindsight has the right to behold a great future and you’re not physically prohibited from pursuing that which your inner-sight has seen. You have the right to chase and apprehend your dream.
Ladies and gentlemen, you also have the right to choose. You can make your choices in life. As long as it’s legal, acceptable and won’t hurt nobody, hey, you have options and can choose. No one can force you to be who you do not want to be or do that which you do not want to do. Believe me, you indeed have the right to choose.
So I ask this question, why do we feel trapped at times? Why do we feel restricted, hindered, inhibited and controlled in life? Why does it appear we’re forced to settle for what life brings and not what we sincerely want out of life?
Why is our dreams far from our realities, why does it appear difficult expressing our rights to pursue that which we dream of? Why has life become so tough, so difficult, so complicated and frustrating for many? Why are most of us enduring life instead of enjoying life? Do we really have these rights or it’s just an illusion?
Ladies and gentlemen, life is built and designed for only the tough to enjoy. Life is not a piece of cake, not a walk in the park, life is not easy. Yes by the reason of being born you have birth rights, but listen to me, every now and again, life will bring your way, situations, circumstances and challenges that will pressure you to sell your birth right. Yes, life will do that.
Tough times will come, hard times will come. There are days when you’ll be so broke. When you’ll be penniless, with no visible evidence of where your next contract or business will come from, life will suggest you return to paid employment and forget that multimillion dollar business dream you carry and have a right to birth. Life will pressure you to sell the right of that dream in exchange for a 30 days survival income.
When the tall, dark and handsome guy suddenly changes his mind and walks out on your life, your right to a happy and purposeful marriage is challenged. Loneliness will set in and life will tell you all men are mean, all men are bad, all men are cheats, better settle for the next anybody that shows up. And the next looser that shows any slight interest in you takes you even if he doesn’t deserve you. Life has pressured you to sell your right to a happy, meaningful and dignified marriage.
When you’ve also been a victim of abuse, oppression and you have low self-esteem. Life will tell you, you have no right to any glory or greatness by yourself and your only hope is to birth a baby for a so called celebrity. Then you go ahead and become a baby mama for a randy seasonal champion who neither values you nor respects you. You then tie your life permanently to a temporary visionless star – life has pressured you to settle for less, to endure a dysfunctional family life, life will make you unworthy of your own proper and dignified husband and home.
Life knows you have greatness in you, you’re predestined for great glory and you have the birthright for manifestation, but life will always pressure you to compromise and sell your birthright for temporary solutions and comfort. Life will tell you to give up that beautiful business dream for so called job security, life will tell you to give up your virginity to retain the affection and attention of a selfish lover, who has no plans for you but only want to use you and dump you and move on to the next victim, life will pressure you to run after men for financial benefits when you’re broke and you’ll be be used and abused for clothes that will fade, shoes that’ll eventually worn out, phones that will age and cash that will finish. Life will tell you, you lack the capacity to earn on your own – the stress is too much, get it from men, then when you get hurt, your birthright to a great marital future and sound health will evaporate right before your very eyes.
Dear friend, your birthright to independence and freedom is traded in the face of fear and intimidation and uncertainties, then you hand the control of your life over to so called spiritual leaders who claim they have answers to your problems and miracles for your difficulties, they then exploit you financially, and use you to sponsor their personal dreams, personal visions and religious empires. When eventually you’re of no use to them and you’re spent, they begin to avoid you, reject your calls and make you feel like a nuisance.
Life will lie to you that God cannot hear your prayers or solve your problem, except through some selected, special people and you’ll believe, thus, selling your right to personal fellowship and spiritual growth and maturity.
Ladies and gentlemen, your right came by birth and not through men. If you can endure the pain, the hunger, the pressure, the tough times the challenges and the crisis, I promise you, you will eventually manifest. Great glory is not for fickle people, it’s not for people who can’t stand tough times and endure temporary setbacks.
Yes you have so much packaged into your destiny, but if on the account of temporary troubles and temporary challenges, you decide to compromise and sell your birth right, blame no one but you.
Dear friend, your birthright is extremely precious and valuable, you’re born to excel, succeed, prosper, conquer, achieve and rule! Please don’t sell, no, don’t sell, tough times don’t last, tough people do…
