Are You Seeking A Temporary Fix By Releasing Your Birthright In Order To Pacify Your Flesh

Another word for prerogative is "birthright".    A birthright is a basic entitlement.   It is that which comes along with birth.   Understand the birthright that has been bestowed upon you.   When something is bestowed, it is given even when it is undeserved.    There is nothing we could have done to earn the eternal life that we have been given through the sacrifice of Jesus.    Eternal life is a gift that has been given to us by God.   When we are born again, we receive the birthright of eternal life.

A birthright is a right, possession or privilege.   In the Bible Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for something to eat.   Eating appeases the flesh.  To appease means to pacify or to satisfy a need or desire for something.    Don't sell your birthright by appeasing your flesh.    Understand the rights that you have been given through salvation.    Learn how to wait on God to give you what you need and what you desire that lines up with His Word and will.    Don't let go of God's promises for a "temporary" fix to your situation.
