Stand Alone
‘Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil…’ Ex.23:2[KJV]
Flocking is typical of the bird species. In fact there is a saying ‘birds of the same feather flock together’. Yet eagles do not flock. It is almost impossible to find five eagles flocking in the same direction. As an eagle believer, you must learn how to be alone with God. I acknowledge that there is a place for corporate 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]
Learn From Nature
‘Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights to make its nest? It lives on the cliffs, making its home on a distant, rocky crag. From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes. Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it’ Job 39:27-30.
God uses nature and things we find in nature to teach His children vital lessons and things we can do to achieve certain results. ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.’ Ps.19:1-2 [KJV]. In other Read the rest of this entry
Sabbath
‘You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD’ Ex.31:15a
‘Stand at the door of the tent, he told her. If anybody comes and asks you if there is anyone here, say no. But when Sisera fell asleep from exhaustion, Jael quietly crept up to him with a hammer and tent peg in her hand. Then she drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and so he died’ Read the rest of this entry
Perspective
‘Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee’ Jeremiah32:17 [KJV].
How big is God really? Our minds really cannot phantom. What exactly can He do? Nobody knows. We know that there is nothing impossible with God. But there are a few numbers in nature that could help us out. There are currently about 7 billion people on earth. And science tells us that the earth can hold Read the rest of this entry
Place of Worship
‘So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most’ Heb.4:16
Something happened when Jesus shouted His last and gave up His spirit. Something that changed the course of history forever and changed the place of worship forever. The release of the Spirit brought about the tearing of the curtain top to bottom. In other words, through Jesus and by His Spirit you and I can access the place of worship that once laid behind the veil. Jesus granted us access to enter beyond the place where the priests could and into the place where the Ark of Read the rest of this entry
Self-Will
‘For although Levi wasn’t born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham’s body when Melchizedek collected the tithe from him’ Heb.7:10
Self-will is another thing that you can cooperate with that will attempt to box God in your life. As previously stated, the only one who can box God in your life is you. If you cooperate with self-will, it will limit the influence of God in your lives. The danger of self-will is that it puts you in the driver’s seat instead of God. You might be wondering what exactly is wrong with being in the Read the rest of this entry
The Intangible Word
‘The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy’ Mark.4:16.
The greatest resources any man has are his intangible resources. Have you noticed that everyone seems to have similar material possessions? However, the things that differentiate us are our intangible possessions which are our greatest assets. The same thing applies to a nation or a people. Their greatest Read the rest of this entry
Stay Devoted
‘And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God’ Titus 2:12
Devotion comes with a price. Commitment to God calls for self-sacrifice. It is a choice to sacrifice your personal will for the will of God. When it’s all said and done, the only thing that will matter is how you have walked with God. It is your heart walk not whether kings served you or you served kings that will Read the rest of this entry
