HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT AND LED THEM ON EAGLES’ FLIGHT: NONE WAS LEFT FEEBLE!
“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4.
There’s always a day of questioning and examining the dedication and commitment of one’s genuine followership of God in Christ Jesus stead. And such it was, when a day of cross examination of Christ Jesus disciples loyalty and knowledge and understanding of Him, in the cause and course of following Him to be discipled as disciples; this happened after days, months and years of Christ Disciples had being called out to be following Him – while in His humanity cause/purpose in order to fulfill the Father God assignment. Jesus Christ asked His disciples two profound questions while in humanity, and one was a generalised question, while the other was very personal. Herein are the lines of questioning:
** The first was – who do men (the public – Society, community) say I am?
** And the second was – who do you as a person know and understand and say I am?
It was very easy for them to ANSWER the first question. But the second was challenging, unexpected and troubling – because it’s personalised not as a group but as Individuals.
Thank God Apostle Peter who by God’s personal REVELATION to him, rescued the moment, gave an ANSWER as enjoined in Matthew 16:13-21. That ANSWER paved the FOUNDATION of the Churches (body) of Christ for which you are a member in particular as written in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. And from the answer that Apostle Peter (who then was known as Simon bar Jona) gave by REVELATION, we’ve come to know, that it’s as we are LED by God through REVELATION, that His PURPOSE in our individual and bodily members in Christ Jesus, will be made REVEALED and MANIFEST; therein we can edify each other in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10/Romans 8:9-20.
You need to know for sure and full well, that outside God’s REVEAL knowledge, is man MADE structure which could be but not limited to: Religious creed, Man-made dogmas, Man Make-believe, Philosophy, Traditions of men and such like. All these UNREVEALED knowledge, makes God’s WORD to be of no EFFECT in our LIFE (on earth) and GODLINESS (Godly Living – the heavenly mindfulness); and to ensure our ONWARD and OUTWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead – [Matthew 15:6; Mark 7:13; 1 Corinthians 2:1-10; Ephesians 1:17-23; 1 Thessalonians 2:13].
And today, if you are to be CROSS-EXAMINED and ASKED the same line of questions by Christ Jesus as He did ask His Disciples that became Apostles, what PERSONAL ANSWER will you give? Will you own your ANSWER as a measure that defines your today and tomorrow? For it’s what you picture of Him in you and you in Him, that makes all the difference in your doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. James 1:22-25; Philemon 1:6.
Know for certainly and to be assured, that God did not only BROUGHT the children of Israel from the BONDAGES and CAPTIVITY of EGYPT to lead them to a nowhere and He never left them at nowhere either; but He LED them by the EAGLES’ FLIGHT all the way to their PROMISED land of Canaan. The glorious resultant of that LEADERSHIP of God by EAGLE’S WINGS, made NONE who allowed Him to LEAD to be FEEBLE. As such, even their ENEMY and COHORTS was at DREAD because of God’s presence and leadership lead, in their midst.
“. . . 37 He BROUGHT them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not ONE FEEBLE PERSON among their tribes. 38 Egypt was GLAD when they departed: for the FEAR (DREAD) OF THEM fell upon them . . .” Psalms 105.
If indeed, you BELIEVE that God had saved you, washed you, sanctified and justified you by the REDEMPTION DID and DEED in Christ Jesus, why not let Him LEAD you on EAGLES’ FLIGHT. That’s the PATH that enables us to THRIVE in LIFE and GODLINESS, even as He has GIVEN us the access by His divine nature, which we’ve come to put on as our inheritance in the light, by Christ Jesus – Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:2-4; Ephesians 1:3-14.
Therefore, in order not to be FEEBLE in God, whom we’ve claimed to WORSHIP WORTHILY and SERVE ACCEPTABLY, let us do the meaningful acts of grace in this wise: That’s to say – let’s not just STOP and SETTLE on being BROUGHT out from our BONDAGE/BONDAGES from Egypt (Sin), but let us ALLOW God to LEAD us on EAGLES’ FLIGHT all the way. That’s the way to AUGUST our FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – (1 Corinthians 2:11-16/Psalms 16:11/Proverbs 4:18-23).
It’s as a result of not being LED by God in scriptural terms that many have found themselves in SEVERAL RELIGIOUS bondages. That is, people creating their own PUPPET religious guide and guard by their blindfolded lead knowledge and vain understanding – Romans 10:1-4; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.
I PLEAD and BEG you today, to let GO of yourself made religion and let God LEAD you. You will NEVER have any cause to REGRET and be FEEBLE in Christ Jesus stead.
May you be BLESSED In LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“As an EAGLE stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did LEAD him, and there was no STRANGE god with him. 13 He MADE him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he MADE him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.
