The Christian Eagle
Young or old in age or in faith, your true walk and flight begins with your commitment and belief in Jesus, as your Lord and Saviour.
Your flying and soaring begins with a new birth. Jesus said that unless we are born again, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Nicodemus asked Jesus, how could he possibly be born again?! It is this new birth, born not of flesh and blood, but of the Spirit of God, that is the key to the beginning of a new life in Christ, that will allow you to soar into the Heavens.
The Gospel of John, Chapter One verse 12 &13, says, " But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
This is the Truth and this writer makes no apology about it, because it is not his truth, not his statement, not his declaration, but God's direct Truth.
When you believe and receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour of your life, you become born-again into the Kingdom of God. This is the first and most important step in your life, before you can rise, walk, fly and soar.
Unless you have accepted Jesus as your Saviour, you cannot soar and rise up in Jesus. It is not discrimination, not prejudice - but the Truth. It is of no use for this writer to pretend and mask our true belief and bend the foundations of our faith to make it acceptable and pleasant to everyone, believer and non-believer. This would be misleading.
The Truth is that 'Jesus Christ is Lord' and the whole world and all that matters in life revolves around Jesus.
This is not fanatical thinking, it is not madness, but the real Truth. Our faith - the faith of Christians is built around Jesus Christ. Without Jesus - there is no faith!
"All things are made through Jesus and without Him, nothing was made that was made." John Chapter 1 verse 3. In the end, at the very end, when we enter or try to enter the gates of Heaven, when we have to face our Maker, it will be Jesus sitting at the Throne meeting us.
We have to be accountable to Him. We have to be justified by Him. We have to be approved by Him. He is our Judge, our Maker - the Alpha and the Omega. Our focus, our foundation, our bearing, our purpose revolves around Jesus.
True soaring, true flying, true performance is in relation to the truths around Jesus. That does not mean that we should stop eating, stop breathing, stop working, but rather we should begin to live a life, based on our understanding on who we are and why we are here for.
Success and prosperity as defined by the world may be different from that as defined here. Nevertheless, when we have success in Christ, it can also be identical with the success as measured by the world, with one major difference. In Christ, success is a blessing and people are blessed and God is glorified in the process and indeed God desires that we truly prosper.
The born-again believer in Jesus Christ comes to a personal realisation that our Salvation comes from Jesus Christ and He is the Lord of our life, even while we live as flesh and blood on planet earth.
Receiving Jesus as Lord and Saviour reorientates our lives, redirects our lives towards God, the Father. We begin to live for Jesus, so the Word says, "To live is for Christ..." Phil 1.21.
The Bible says that you have become a new creation, a new person, a new being and should begin to walk in the Spirit, with gentleness, love, patience and meekness and manifesting other fruits of the Spirit.
It begins here and now, as we receive the Spirit of God as our Guide, Teacher, Counsellor and Friend.
