Things Above
‘Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things’ Col.3:2 [NIV]
Earth is not eternity. God created it and His desire is for us to prosper while we are on earth but you must stay in the consciousness that Heaven is the focus. You cannot afford to allow earthly things consume you at the risk of loosing out on heaven. Unlike the eagle, the chicken has no interest in gazing towards Read the rest of this entry
At The Son
‘But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture’ Mal.4:2
The eagle can gaze directly at the sun in its full strength and not go blind. When the eagle first comes out of its shell at birth two things happen. It’s mouth is open and its eyes are gazing directly at the sun. Based on that, during an attack the eagle is able to fly straight in the direction of the sun because no other Read the rest of this entry
Vision II
‘Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he’ Prov.29:18 [KJV].
A clear vision eliminates distractions totally. An example will be what ensued between Elisha, the sons of the prophets, and Elijah. The sons of the prophet said to Elisha, ‘your master is going to be taken away from you’ – distraction. Elisha’s reaction because he had vision was to sharpen his focus. Elijah himself Read the rest of this entry
Vision I
‘I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession’ Gen13:15.
The eagle has a keen vision. Their eyes are specially designed for long distance focus and amazing clarity. While the peripheral view of man is almost 180o, the eagle’s view is 270o which is just 90o off 360o. The eagle can spot another eagle or something just as big from 80km away. From 500meters high, the eagle can Read the rest of this entry
Vitality III
‘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’ Isa.40:31 [KJV].
God wants you and I to have a system of vitality, a system of strength renewal. As eagle believers we must learn the secret of renewal and vitality. The key can be found in Isaiah 40:31 ‘But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…’. The eagle went into the rock and renewed its strength. Jesus is our Read the rest of this entry
Vitality II
‘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’ Isa.40:31 [KJV].
‘But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength’. How do you wait upon the Lord? People’s first response to this question is prayer and fasting. Yet it is possible to fast and pray and not wait upon the Lord. Fasting should automatically lead to waiting upon the Lord but it doesn’t in all cases. We can Read the rest of this entry
Vitality I
‘He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal. He renews your youth—you’re always young in his presence’ Ps.103:5 [MSG]
An eagle is full of life. It has the power to endure and the capacity for survival. The eagle is full of vitality. The reason it appears that the eagle is full of vitality is because the eagle knows when to renew its strength. In fact when the eagle is about thirty years old, its physical life becomes very difficult. Its conditions Read the rest of this entry
High Flyer II
The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged’ Ps.69:32.
The eagle is a high flyer spiritually. As eagle Christians it is important for us to understand that God wants us to think big and aim high. Sometimes we aim too low and cut our coat according to our size because the world says so. Right? Wrong, you cut it according to God’s size because you and God are going to Read the rest of this entry
High Flyer I
‘He that dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty’ Ps.91:1.
The eagle is a high flyer and it aims very high. Eagles can fly up to an altitude of 10,000 feet, far away from every form of oppression. Back in the day my friends and I in the university fellowship had a special response to the greeting ‘ Read the rest of this entry
Nurturing II
‘For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him’ John 17:2
When all the comfort the eaglets originally found in the nest is gone, they have no choice but to climb on the outstretched wing of the parent. The eagle will then fly them high and just when they are enjoying the ride, the eagle will suddenly close its wings and allow its eaglets tumble downwards. Then it swoops down and picks them up just before they hit the ground. It takes them up again and repeats the same process until the eaglets find the use of their wings and begin to fly. For the eaglet the process might be horrible yet the eagle is nurturing it.
Isn’t this how God deals with us sometimes. It is almost as if He is taking us high and we are enjoying the ride then all of a sudden He drops us. Or first reaction is ‘don’t You care that we perish?’ When it appears as though we are about to hit the ground, God always picks us up on time. Then we experience another drop. If this is what you are going through then pay attention because God is saying ‘stretch out your wings yourself and begin to fly’. If you don’t, He will pick you up but you will repeat the process because He loves you too much to leave you incapacitated. He is saying to you stretch out your wings, get up and deal with the demon yourself.
There were times my wife will say to me we need to deal with something. We pray together and God sorts it out. Sometimes I say ‘I cannot rescue you all the time you go and sort it out’. Then I watch. There was this particular time something happened to my wife. I saw it and she saw it too but she said to me ‘leave me, I am going to sort this out’. She went alone by herself to pray and by morning it was sorted. She learnt to use her own wings. Many of us are raising children that can’t stand by themselves, children who cannot look people in the eye and have a normal conversation. We are raising people who are dependent on us. God is not interested in that. There are a lot of Pastors whose flock cannot hear God outside of them. God is not interested in that. God wants everybody to stretch forth his or her own wings and fly.
Prayer: Father, forgive me for the times I have resisted You during the nurturing process. I declare that henceforth I will stretch out my own wings and fly, in Jesus Name.
