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 KJV)

There is a capacity that is exclusively reserved for the man and the woman who covenants to make God the only option; to wait on Him in prayers and not look unto man for help because vain is the help of man (Ps 60:11). These divine abilities that they will be exhibiting will not have a logical explanation as to how ordinary men can begin to live supernaturally.

When men wait upon the Lord, one of the consequences is that they shall mount up with wings as eagles. Mounting up with wings is the Lord giving us an advantage in two major areas; which are in speed and revelation. When Prophet Elijah began to wait upon the Lord to bring rain back to the earth and began to pray intensely and for long on that mountain, there was no time limit to when God was going to answer that prayer but he continued while sending his servant to check. When the Lord finally gave him a sign, he also put His hand upon him for speed and he did the unthinkable of running faster than a royal chariot. Elijah was basically riding on the wings of the Spirit (1 Kings 18: 42-46).

The second area of advantage is in revelations. When we mount up with wings, we are transported into a higher plane of visibility where secret things are revealed to us by the Spirit of God of the past, present and of the future. Ezekiel was carried in the Spirit and he saw the rulers of Israel perpetuating mischief and giving wicked counsel( Eze. 11:1-2). When secret things are revealed, we are not going to be caught by surprise because we know already. It also gives us an advantage over the enemies since we would have known their plot and how to appropriately respond to them.

These advantages that had been given to us can only be accessed when we wait on him and he in turn furnishes our life with speed and revelations. It has the capacity to collapse time that five years achievement can be compressed into a year.

Prayer point:
Let us thank God for His word today. Let’s ask for the grace to continually wait on Him so we can mount up with wings as eagles.
