We normally think of Christ’s death as the event which took place on the cross. But there are many other significant ways in which Christ died every single day while He was on earth which need to be understood. Christ died to the right to make His Own decisions.
When Christ was on earth, He made no decisions on His own but did only that which was directed by His Heavenly Father. Jesus said, “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38). His continual attitude was “…not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42). When we have that same attitude, it is then possible for God to accomplish His will through our lives.
If we have the attitude that says, “I will do this no matter what anyone else says or thinks,” then we are not following the example of Christ but of Satan. Isaiah 14 describes the fall of Satan and it reveals his attitude of pride and rebellion (v.v.12-14). Five times Satan declares his independence and asserts, “I will…” The Lord Jesus says, “Father, not My will, but Thine be done.”
If we want to live for God, if we want to bring Him glory, then it is so important that we allow Him to make the decisions in our lives. Whose authority are you submitted to? Have you ever yielded your rights to God? Have you ever died to the right to make your own decisions?

Dead people are no longer are in control. They do not get their feelings hurt. They have no opinion of their own. They do not get offended.
It is in dying – not in doing – that we bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.
