READ:
HEBREWS 5:11-14
“But they that wait
upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be
weary; and shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31). This verse tells us of three
possibilities in the Christian faith: walking, running and flying. Most
Christians are at the first stage – walking. A few in numbers have started
running. Only a very few have started flying. When confronted by mountains, how
they will respond depends on where they are. While the walking and running
Christians may command or attempt to climb the mountain, the few will simply
fly over the mountain and continue their journey. May God take you to the realm
of the flying Christian!
Remember, we are spiritual Eagles. When a mother eagle is about to build her nest, she will go0 to the highest branch of the tallest tree. She will lay the foundation of her nest with many thorns. Then she will weave some leaves into the thorns and take some feathers from her body to cover the leaves, making the nest cosy and comfortable. Then she lays her eggs and hatches them.
As they grow, when it is time to teach them to fly, without informing them, she removes the feathers, followed by the leaves until the eaglets are uncomfortably seated on thorns. Then she pushes them one by one to the edge of the nest and they fall off and tumble down, thinking it is the end. But just before the eaglet lands on the ground, the mother swoops down and the baby lands on her back. She takes it up and pushes it out again until the eaglet becomes conscious of its wings and begins to flex them, like the mother. Then the baby is free.
To make you fly, God will first remove the things that make you comfortable. While you cry and bind and loose, things will worsen. This is done for your good. (Jeremiah 29:11). David said in Psalm 119:71 that afflictions caused him to learn certain things. Some of us refuse to pray effectively until something serious happens. When the nest has been taken away, you either learn to walk by faith or you crash. It is time to start flying.

MEMORIZE:
ISAIAH 40:31 –But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they
shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and shall walk, and not faint.
