Flying above the clouds

By Bishop Taiwo Akinola

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint ~ Isaiah 40:31.
Introduction:
I welcome you to the dawn of a new year, the believer’s Year of Supernatural Flight. I earnestly pray that, this year, you shall not be hindered, and the grace of God will not be frustrated in your life, in Jesus Name. Amen.If there is anything we all need very badly now, it is divine compensation. Not as though God is owing any man anything, but because of the peculiar days in which we live, we need to trust God to draw special establishment from His promise, which says He will settle us after we have suffered a while (1 Peter 5:10).We need to speedily catch up with destiny and recover ground lost to the Covid-19 pandemic invasion. We cannot afford to crawl again, or even walk or run. We must fly above the clouds and shadows of uncertainties, confusion and arrested development.Naturally speaking, flight is the ability to defy the laws of gravity in movements upward and forward. But, the flight we’re referring to here is a spiritual flight, which will enable us to rise above all satanic oppositions and snags in our positive motions of destiny.In Deuteronomy 28:1-14, we see clearly that God takes great pleasure in setting up His people above present circumstances. So, there is a place for the believers at the  top, if only we’re interested in it and are willing enough to walk with God and His Word in implicit obedience.Partaking in supernatural flight is very important to destinies with great Bible dreams, but it’s also a definite and a personal choice to make, or else it cannot become a reality. One man said: “those who walk walk with many, those who run run with a few, but those who fly fly alone”. Flying supernaturally is a personal choice, which all those who truly wish to soar in destiny in Year 2021 cannot afford to ignore.No aircraft tows another aircraft in the air. Every aircraft has to generate adequate ground power to overcome friction and conquer gravity, so as to take off and be sustained in the air.However, supernatural flight is a definite work of grace, which can only be made possible by the power of the Holy Spirit. We may walk with common sense, we may even run with principles, but we can fly only by supernatural instructions.It is Holy Ghost direction that can lead us to distinction. Hence, throughout the year, we must find it imperative to make greater room for Him to operate in our lives and to depend utterly upon the grace which God bestows.
Understanding the Supernatural Realm
The realm of the supernatural is the realm beyond the reach of science, and beyond human explanations.The word “supernatural” means beyond and above the natural. This is where God operates. It is the realm, where heaven and the earth intermingle, the realm of interaction between God and man.The supernatural realm is where God reveals to us what happens behind the physical realm. It is a realm of limitless possibilities where destinies change, miracles occur and victory is obtained; a realm, where things that do not exist come into existence (Hebrews 11: 1-3).God wants His children to live and operate from this realm. He said to John, “Come up hither and I will show you what must take place after now” (Revelation 4:1). And, this is also our invitation to this realm that rules over the natural.
Boarding Details for Our Supernatural Flight Above the Clouds.
No one hates the good life, but not many people are willing to start from where they should start. It takes Holy Ghost guidance to fly above the clouds, not personal opinions (Deuteronomy 32:10-12).Our supernatural life, the life of flying high on wings of eagles, is a life only available to one who has that supernatural life within him, through the Holy Spirit (John 10:10b). This is supernatural lifestyle at its best.Wherever you are presently, if you wish to fly supernaturally, then start with God. The pursuit of God’s power is the only safe way to get on board your flight to supernatural living, and that’s a way to live to please the Holy Spirit.Moreover, faith is very essential for anyone to make this flight. And, the stronger our faith, the more realistic our flight beyond and above the clouds in the realm of the spirit (Roman 10:17; Acts 8:26-35).Abraham was strong in faith and he soared beyond the sky (Romans 1:17). As children of Abraham by faith, we must consciously grow our faith. But, we don’t just wish our faith to grow, we must be committed to building it through serious commitment and dedication to God and His Word.Being noble-hearted in our dedication to God and to His kingdom on earth, and culturing an abiding love for Him in our hearts are basic requirements for creating a supernatural platform for our flight of destiny. This was the platform that raised giant Bible characters like Joseph, Daniel, Moses, Nehemiah and the three Hebrew children! And that’s a great way to make the most of our journeys on earth.Christians are recreated to live a supernatural life, a life rooted in the possibilities of things we cannot see, feel or touch. We are destined to live a life rooted in the power of Jesus Christ, and not in our natural strength. We must never settle for the natural un-exceptional life, or get so used to acting like turkeys that we forget how to live like eagles!Natural lifestyles may appear easy, comfortable and cheap, but it attracts no valuable rewards. No crown and no serious accomplishments, just burnt up treasures.A life that is fully yielded to the guidance of Holy Spirit in all ramifications is a lifestyle that ought to be valued and cherished by all; a life that celebrates God’s supernatural works in our daily lives.
In conclusion, brethren, it’s time to fly. But, please keep in mind that this is an adventure made possible only as we make suitable room for the Holy Spirit and we adhere to His instructions as our new lifestyle.You’re a spiritual eagle, meant for the sky. You cannot afford to keep on operating like a chicken, a duck or even a turkey. If you will only do whatever God commands, He will set you on high above all nations of the earth.I see many globally rated giants rising up from amidst the believers this year, in the name of Jesus Christ. My prayer is that you will cooperate with God enough, get on your supernatural flight, and receive major lifts and forward motions. Be stirred up and stay connected to the Spirit of grace and glory, in Jesus Name. Happy New Year of Supernatural Flight! Happy Sunday!!
