Reject the Status Quo

Status quo means the condition or state of affairs that currently exists; the present condition of things. It’s impossible to have a movement when you accept the status quo. When you are running a movement, you don’t accept business as usual; you’d be dissatisfied with everything that is mundane and mediocre.

Sometimes, your rejection of the status quo can be weak. You may not like the status quo but you passively accept it because your rejection is weak. That was the lifestyle of Lot. The bible says Lot was vexed by the unrighteous and ungodly deeds of those around him but he didn’t stop them. He presented a weak front; he wouldn’t act like them but he did nothing to stop them (2 Peter 2:6-10). Maybe at work you are known to be a good fellow; an easy going Christian brother or Sister, some of you are even called pastor at work but you don’t stoutly reject what is wrong around you. That’s the Lot attitude. Lot was dissatisfied but did nothing to change the status quo in Sodom and Gomorrah. Don’t live your life this way. Cultivate dissatisfaction for anything that does not align itself with the Word of God

Never forget that you are a soldier of Christ and we are at war. Some people fold their arms, complaining about the government but they forget to realize that someone of their age and qualification is heading it. Reject the status quo of your environment; be an agent of change. Be a man or woman of influence. The more you give yourself to the Word of God, you’ll find yourself changing the world and not settling for the way it presently is.
