Soaring as an EAGLE
–The Springboard to Achieve set Goals-
Proverbs 30:18-19 ‘’There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’.
I sincerely welcome you in Jesus Name into another exciting and soaring God made month for your rejoicing – NOVEMBER! It’s my prayer and earnest desire that you will be excited to soar as an eagle over all things that have limited you; also, that you will eventually locate yourself in God’s plans to achieve your desired set goals – Amen! (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP)
We live in such a time in which we need to register our faith solely on Him that has made us and by him we have the breath of life – The Holy Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit can we deal with the affairs of life in achieving our desired goals.
Job 33:4 ‘’The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life’’.
Job 32:8 ‘’But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding’’.
The text of Proverbs 30:18-19 above speaks of three wonderful things, which the wise King Solomon earnestly declares one of them as – ‘The Way of an Eagle in the Air’. And if you can understand the ways of an eagle in the air in achieving your life goals and desires, then – Favour – will become your new name. May it be so right away in Jesus name, Amen.
Proverbs 13:15 ‘’Good understanding gives favour: but the way of transgressors is hard’’.
Soar or Soaring
Our God intend all His children with an achievers mandate to soar if they must BECOME what they are born or made to be in Christ Jesus.
To soar or soaring is an act:
- To rise or fly upwards into the air
- To glide while maintaining altitude/height in the air
- To rise or increase suddenly above the usual level
Our God does not want you to just live or rise in life, He wants you to triumphantly maintain that altitude or height of grace as it affects every single area of your wellbeing and faith in Him (1 Thessalonians 5:23). You are redeemed to be a SOARER in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Eagle and Eaglet
‘’Eagles are made, while eaglet are born’’. This is a wise and true faithful saying in life. The Eagle is a large keen-sighted bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long, large broad wings and a strong soaring flight. The eaglet, otherwise, is the young eagle.
When you understand the biblical concept of becoming an eagle rather than an eaglet as I will layout in this edition, you will soar and by it end all those anxieties and worries that makes you think there is no tomorrow. Except you decide to still remain an eaglet who wants to enjoy the eagle lifestyle and don’t want to undergo God’s make-over that transform an eaglet to an eagle.
- Jesus Christ our Example:
Isaiah 9:6 ‘’For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given . . .’’
John 3:16 ’’For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life’’
The above prophetic scripture about our Lord Jesus Christ indicates the transformation and positioning of an eaglet to an eagle. As a child Jesus was born, but as a Son was given (made). When made, one is empowered to achieve, rule and reign in life. God could only give Jesus to save the world as a Son, not as a child. It took thirty years for Jesus to undergo an eaglet life make-over and translation for a three and half year eagle mandate. Hence He succeeded. And the scripture (Joshua 1:8) enjoins us to learn of Him if we must have good success and prosper as our Lord promises us and did – The eagle way!
- The Redeemed in Christ
Galatians 4:1-7 ‘’Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differed nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ’’.
From the epistle of Galatians above, it comes so glaring how God wants His children as Abraham seed and achievers to possess an eagle mandate than that of an eaglet. As a child (eaglet) – one is under tutorship or training, while as a Son (eagle) – one is made to bear rule, reign and take charge and control. (1 Pet. 2:2; Isaiah 28;9-12; Heb. 5:11-14). The danger of many Christian families, marriages, relationships, business, careers and Ministries is that lots of people want to enjoy the eagle lifestyle with eaglet mentality and behaviour to life issues. This has hindered the true joy reality of their Christian Faith. The world and creation awaits the manifestation and revealing of God’s sons and not mere children, by taking their place for the beauty of mankind. Will you arise and take your place as a son!
Romans 8:19 ’’For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation (revealing) of the sons of God’’.
1 Corinthians 13:11 ‘’When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man (son), I put away childish things’’
The Eagle Way
The eagle way is the believer’s path way to achieving their God given life goals. And when you do understand the know-how of mounting up with wings as the eagle, you can keep yourself afloat over all mountains and valleys of life. The reasons behind all this is because human ideals and philosophy will fail us as we’ve seen over the years and more recently in our world economic breakdown in spite of all our gigantic empire of great intellectuals, economics, scientist and technologists, politicians and financiers and many, many more. Let’s ponder and consider the scriptures below, in the light of the eagle way:
Deuteronomy 32:7-14 ‘’Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee . . . As an eagle stirred up her nest, fluttered over her young, speeded abroad her wings, takes them, beareth them on her wings: So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 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; 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‘’.
The scripture above compasses the very intent of God for His people. From nothing to splendid, that’s the way the first church in the wilderness was raised – to soar as an eagle – and to raise the eaglet to become an eagle. For as eagles they prospered, achieved their desired goals and God was in their midst.
Isaiah 40:31 ‘’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’’
The above book of Isaiah enjoins us to the eagle ways in these dimensions
- The Eagle waits upon the wind – Holy Spirit – before it makes any move, hence it renews – does not waste/burn out – strength (Psalm 103:5)
- The Eagle does not flap wings – like other birds – but mounts up with wings and glide (Job 39:27) hence: It does not go weary and does not go fainting (give up or loose heart)
An achiever can’t act as a turkey or other birds that flap wings and want to enjoy the height of an eagle that mounts up with wings.
Job 9:25-26 ‘‘Now my days are swifter than a post . . . They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey’’.
The above scripture also indicates that eagles are not sluggish in life affairs. They are smart, quick, prompt, fast and maximize opportunity. They don’t take their time or timing to soar for granted. They act promptly at the move or movement of the wind.
Soaring as an Eagle: The Wind – The Spirit
Soaring as an eagle is only possible if you can recognise the movement of the wind – The Holy Spirit. This will emancipate and deliver one from all yokes and burdens affecting our drive to actualise our life desired goals.
John 3:8 ’’The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit’’
Unlike most birds, the eagle does not flap its wings but mount them up for flight in relation to the movement of the wind. It’s by this swift or prompt agility to get on the wind that takes the eagle to heights and places of life without exhaustion unlike most birds.
The scripture likens the wind to the Holy Spirit as a metaphor shown in John 3:8. And our ability to know and understand the move of the Holy Spirit in relation to our life goals makes all the difference in the kingdom.
Genesis 1:1-4 ‘’In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness’’.
When the Holy Spirit moves and hovers over the face of the waters on earth, God knowing the indication of that movement, began to speak forth, makes prophetic creative declarations. And that’s how creation was made upon the earth. In the same like manner, when an achiever comes to know and understand the move of the Holy Spirit, creativity and the pursuit to achieve life goals will begin to takes it direction. How I do pray that this inspiration and revelation and empowerment will find its place in your spirit today, in Jesus precious name, amen!
FINALLY!
There is more in store for you, same for every child of God than can be imagined and this is made possible by the Holy Spirit. When we mount up our spiritual wings for flight as the eagles on the move of the wind – Holy Spirit, we can soar as the eagle to height of greatness and the stars they say, will not just be our limit.
1 Corinthians 2:9-12 ‘’But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God’’.
I therefore challenge you today to make a new relationship and fellowship with the Holy Spirit that you might soar (glide) in life. You can then chart your life of creativity for the world you long and want to have and enjoy. I pray that you will give thoughtful consideration of your life to the Holy Spirit in order to end the struggles, exhaustion, weariness, anxieties and tiredness you’ve endured all these years. Be blessed and welcome to this exciting and soaring month of greatness – NOVEMBER!
Know the Wind . . . Dare to Soar . . . Achieve as an Eagle!
