Well, there is a how!

Hello!! Has anyone told you before that there is a how you walk, or even talk or better still, a how you smile? See, you are already smiling to confirm it. I am loving this. It is very amazing!!! Actually keep on doing it, keep on smiling…there we go! You can now let out that laughter that’s already building up in you. Hahaha😂! Okay…(that’s our Take One)

I am excited to have you on board. The Captain has missed you. She has missed calling you out as “Ladies and Gentleman, welcome on board”…. BUT NOW, she is radiating with JOY because this flight is one of a kind. We will be flying over this space here, for as long as you’ll choose. Oohh! Choose Joy! Let this Joy move you!

Before Dr. Smiles and Laughter landed, I said that; there is a how we all take after our parents with our appearance and habits. It is also true that, our character is influenced by the people we spend most time with(show me your friends and I will tell who you are, huh!). It is definite that you are smiling because you are around here…with the Captain, isn’t it?

Haven’t you noticed that there is a how little children imitate their parents? Haven’t you seen them place their hands on their ears so they’d pretend to be on a call, just like their dad? Or the way they’ll imitate the how mum sings when she’s in the kitchen? Or the how they’ll try to walk in their dad’s boots even when their little toes don’t fit? I know you understand what I am talking about.

There is a boldness these children portray. There is a how they are always sure that no one will punish them for imitating their parents, hence, they do it gladly. When you are around them, be sure they’ll be needing your attention so they’d show you the how their mum walks on heels or the how their daddy hugs them once he comes back home.

I am excited. I am already shouting for joy…wait, I think I am dancing right now…(too bad! I have no clip for all the series of these events) though there is one truth I know…I know you are already experiencing this joy that Captain has. Guess what! This is our Take Two, hahaha!!! You see this joy, no one…not even a single circumstance or situation in life can take it away. Enjoy therein and let this Joy move you.

Imma try and keep calm for the flight. So far, I love what awaits us ahead…

What is joy? Why choose joy? How even does joy move anyone? Where is this joy moving me to? Still, what is it about little children and the HOWs? (I have read your mind. Funny, huh? It is however true, isn’t it?)… Worry not. Captain’s got you sorted. Let us carry on…

If I would ask you why the little children behave in such a manner, what would you say? Let’s see…maybe they are innocent or even the fact that they’ve not been on planet earth for a long time, to experience whatever you think might be the reason…What if we see it in a different perspective?

I believe little children behave this way, because they know WHO they are as well as understand WHOSE they are. They are so sure that they are so much loved and that nothing is able to separate them from the Love of their parents. Why? They have over time experienced of this very LOVE. Evidently, the result of knowing that they are loved and experiencing the LOVE, is the ability to express fully WHO they are, even as they imitate their parents, gerriitt? (Say “yes, I gerriitt😂“)

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to.

1 John 3:1MSG

A Child of God is who you really are. You are a Son of God. I mean, God is your Father. Do you know how amazing it is being a Son of God? It is such a great honour to be a Son. You see, in any household, sons never cease to be Sons because they did not do house chores. Sons do not also beg for food in their Father’s house, or do you? Sons enjoy the privileges of sonship. Moreover, sons are so much loved by their Fathers.

Now, you are a Son of God…once you are born again and have received of the gift of Salvation. As a Son, papa God loves you. He actually loved you right from the start when you did not even know what love was. He has until now loved you with an everlasting Love. He’s actually chosen you to be the focus of His love. You are accepted in the beloved.

The Love that daddy has loved us with, is not just any kind of love. He has loved us unconditionally. There are no terms and conditions in His love. There are no strings attached in His love. His love is AGAPE. A LOVE that gives. While we were still sinners, God gave His only beloved Son Jesus, so that whoever believes in Him perishes not. Yes, that is How much He loves us…He still loves us now…He celebrates you daily…

“Don’t you know there’s a King in Zion? A coronation banquet Is spread for him on the holy summit.” Let me tell you what GOD said next. He said, “You’re my son, And today is your birthday. What do you want? Name it: Nations as a present? continents as a prize?

Psalm 2:6-8 MSG

There is nothing that can separate you from His Love. It is by experiencing this Love that you are changed. You are transformed. The Love of God affects all of our lifestyle, the how we talk, walk, dress, love…you name it. Love does all that. It is because we understand of this Love that we are able to imitate what we see our Father do.

It is by this Love that we understand that His nature is our very nature, because we take after Him. It is by the Love of God that we do things right because we understand that we are all that Daddy tells us we are, in His Word. That is why we win like the winners we are. We reign, rule and dominate. We love like He has loved us. Oohh, how we cheer up because we understand that He is true to His Word. What manner of love!

Child of God, see… Daddy loves you so much. He wants you to receive of His love today and walk therein. God loves you. He so much loves you. Yes, I mean, God our Father, loves you. Once you comprehend of this love, once you’ve experienced of this love, transformation is always evident in your life. This is because His Love transforms. That is why you will Joy in the Lord always because you understand that this Joy is our strength. And that is How this Joy will affect all of your being until it is what moves you.

See yaaahh in the next one! Stay tuned!
