Nurturing I
‘During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost…’ John 17:12
As ferocious as the eagle is yet no member of the bird family is more gentle and attentive to its young than the eagle. As fierce as the eagle is the eagle nurtures its own children. How does this apply to us? God expects us to nurture our biological and spiritual children with the same tenderness the eagle displays. Read the rest of this entry
Face The Storm II
‘…When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm’ Luke 8:24
‘Don’t wish your task were easier, wish you were better’ Jim Rohn. Don’t wish that all the financial problems will disappear, instead pray that God would empower you to solve them. Then you will become a stronger person. A lot of people’s reaction to this kind of teaching is usually silence and in some cases Read the rest of this entry
Face The Storm I
‘He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor’ Ps.107:29.
The eagle soars along the direction of the wind. An eagle looks for and flies into the storm. When a storm is raging, an eagle flies straight into the storm. Other lesser birds [chickens, pigeons, parrots, vultures] will run for cover.
Hear Clearly
‘Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches’ Rev.2:29 [MSG]
The eagle can hear clearly. Some eagles dwell in the mountain, yet it is possible for the eagle to be on one side of the mountain and hear clearly the movement of a reptile on the other side of the mountain. The eagle may not be able to see its prey but it can hear every move and as such know exactly where the reptile Read the rest of this entry
Swiftness
‘…the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and [wind] happeneth to them all’ Ecc.9:11 [KJV].
The eagle is swift. It flies faster than most birds, if not all birds. It flies as fast as 217km per hour. People who have been in fast moving cars can relate to how fast this is. In fact by the time your car is going 200 -210 you will advise yourself to slow down because your heart cannot take it. Yet the eagle flies Read the rest of this entry
Maritally Faithful
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder’ Mark 10:9.
The eagle is maritally faithful until death. When a male and female eagle pair up, note eagles lives up to 120 years, they stay faithful till death. They do not cross fences like chickens. The eagle is committed to its spouse until death. In the eagle community, there is marital dignity. Unlike other birds, eagles don’t Read the rest of this entry
Longevity
‘With long life will I satisfy you and show you My salvation’ Psa. 91:16
The fourth secret of the eagle is longevity. Eagles outlive most animals and birds. Eagles can live up to a hundred and twenty years. They outlive a lot of men also. As eagle believers God is saying to you and I, ‘you will fulfill the number of your days’ in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Jesus fulfilled the number Read the rest of this entry
Unusual Strength
‘…they that know their God shall be strong and they shall do exploits’ Dan.11:32.
‘They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles’. The eagles have unusual strength. We as Christians have to be strong just like the eagle. One sure way of getting unusual strength comes from waiting on the Lord. It is only God who knows what lies ahead of you and Read the rest of this entry
Fresh Word
‘Give us day by day our daily bread’ Luke 11:3 [KJV]
If the only ‘God said’ that you know is ‘my wife said that God said’ or ‘our pastor said that God said’ then there is a problem. When your wife is not around, you will be in serious trouble. Don’t be an Aaron to Moses or like Aaron when Moses is not around you will also be pressured into making a golden calf [Ex. Read the rest of this entry
Daily Bread I
‘Give us day by day our daily bread’ Luke 11:3 [KJV]
The eagle only eats fresh meat. You will never see an eagle eating meat that it did not kill or eating left overs. In addition to that, the eagle does not waste food. It finishes its meals or divides it amongst its children but nothing is left over. The eagle always eats fresh meals; it does not feed on corruption like the vulture. The vulture can spend two weeks following a dying animal around just waiting for it to die so that it can feed. The eagle is not a scavenger; it is a predator. It likes to hunt and kill its own food.
How does that apply to us? God does not want us to feed on corruption. As leaders and eagle Christians we must flee all appearances of evil. The truth is that those who settle for corruption have settled for limitation in life [Psalm 1]. You must flee all appearances of evil. Eagle Christians should not feed on corruption whether it is physical, financial, or moral corruption.
The eagle is not a parasite; you need to stop being a parasite. Everybody goes through challenging times in life, every body that you can see, no matter how rich or how poor. When you are going through your own, make up your mind not to be a parasite [a mosquito] but to remain an eagle. The eagle Christian does not parasite or scavenge on people spiritually. It does not perch financially. The eagle does not say ‘what will you drop for your boy today’. In other words, you cannot continue looking to another person’s wealth [physical or spiritual] for your own well being. An example of spiritual scavenging would be a man who is always saying ‘my wife said God said – that this is the house we should buy or this is the school for our children. What about you? Does God not talk to you? Refuse to be a spiritual parasite even if it means waking up at midnight to pray. Then wake up and pay the price. Like the eagle seek your daily bread by yourself. Jesus will not teach us to ask for daily bread if the Father has not made provision for it.
Thought: ‘…in God’s Word, you chew on Scripture day and night. You’re a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom’ Ps.1:2-3 [MSG]
