I'M FLYING.

I really wanted to fly. I dreamt of flying as high as how the eagle soars, it is amazing indeed! Feeling the breeze touching my face, gentle stroke of the clouds upon my body and the feeling of freedom as if everything is so light, so supple, feel just fine. Wings are made for birds to flap it and be able to fly, however, it seems that they are so at ease but I can see the struggle beneath the flapping of their wings. It might be easy for us to see them flying but the truth is they have to keep flapping their wings to be able to fly and if they stop it’s like a peculiar self-assassination, it is a struggle yet for us it is amazing how they soar up high. So, wings are design for birds to fly, while feet are to man for walking. But, can a man fly using his wings? Does a man have wings?



Yes. Man can fly. But how, we don’t have wings? You might ask. But the truth of the matter is we do have wings if you just believe it. We might not be like seraphs that have six wings but we do have wings. I’ve read a book written by Joey Bonifacio ‘THE PROMISE NO ONE WANTS’, it depicts God’s faithfulness and divine favors- his promises and how it is being fulfilled. However, there are certain promises that once in a blue moon we claim- it is the fulfillment of our own written destiny. If we only put our utmost trust on him, and vowing ‘thy will be done’ then acceptance and rejoicing heart will be experienced. This book helped me to understand this perspective and not being scared to see the key for my door to be open. Definitely, it will not be easy but I believe it will be an incredible race. I would not go into details, or else I’ll spoil the meaty part but I guarantee you it is really a must to read this book. Anyway, going back with my flying avenue, one of the book’s content was ‘the other wing’. I was awestruck, the other wing? Interesting! (At the back of my mind, I knew it, I can fly!) Alright, you’ve got me what are the other wings? He mentioned there that the first wing was the grace of God. True enough, we cannot fly without it. By grace we have been saved not by works of man. The grace of God resembles one of the wings, without it, it is impossible to fly because we are captives by an impounding hand. Once we are freed hence comes the second wing – the fear of God. Wisdom draws from having the fear of God hence the light will shine on your way to everlasting peace, love and happiness. And as you shun evil, understanding from within will be able to pull you off from the worldly standpoint that put shackles on your feet thus the tougher it gets to take wing.


In light of the flying avenue I’ve mentioned, we can fly and soar high if we are free. We are like birds that are on an impounding hand but by the grace of our Father, we are freed from the multitude of sins. We gained the freedom and restoration of our soul, body and mind. And with these two wings we can be able to pull off from the worldly ground and fly high, higher than any aircraft. However, the wings should work hand-in-hand. Using one wing will make you unstable and easily shaken but with these two wings steadfast flights will be dandy. So who says you can’t fly on your own? Check your heart (your relationship with God) if the gear (Grace from our Lord and fear of the Lord) is absolute and then get ready to take off.
