I have often been amazed at the perspective of little children about their parent. When you hear them talk about how their parent could do just anything, it gives one an idea of how they perceive possibility. Even if their parent were superheroes, they are only super, not limitless. One of my encounters with such perception was a conversation between two young boys, The one said to the other, “my father can carry this car like this…” demonstrating a lifting above the head, and to my amazement, the other responded in the same similitude but now pointing to an even bigger car. Apart from the firmness of their assertions and the indelible trust they have in their fathers’ ability, I was more perplexed by the possibility that they totally believe all that they were professing and that alone made me want to interrupt their discussion. Just when I was about to interrupt their conversation a thought struck me, why did the other child not exclaim “aahn aahn you sabi lie oh” in response to the first child’s claims but pointed out an even bigger possibility or impossibility to you reading right now.? What then is the difference between you and these children? Quick answer, Perception. It has nothing to do with age, or gender, or even skin color. Perception, a pivotal concept in defining true or false, right or wrong, possible or impossible and the list goes on and on. Perception simply refers to the way one sees and relates to things (physically and spiritually). For the believer, perception governs your interaction with both the physical and spiritual world so you can not afford not to see correctly. Often times we struggle with the realities of the kingdom because of wrong perception. The calling of the believer is a call of Faith. And faith is like the eye you must see with it. One scripture that always comes to heart whenever the matters of faith are in focus is “But without Faith it is impossible to please him. For he that cometh to God must believe that heis , and that he is the rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Until you can see clearly the potency and trust in the infallibility of God, you can not get anything by Faith. If we must pull through in the matters of faith we must see I Am in the same light as those children see their Fathers, without a perception of impossibility, contrary to the voice of reason or daunting realities.We are not being naive when we dare to trust God. What is naive is seeing life from just a material perspective. When we speak by faith, we are not denying reality but simply calling forth a new reality in the face of this present reality anchoring on the potency and infallibility of I Am. Like little children we trust wholly, and we are oblivious of impossibility when we dare to see by Faith.
