(Fourth part)
Memory verse: Deuteron 32:11-12 " As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young. Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings, So the LORD alone led him, And there was no foreign god with him "
Eagles have very unique mentoring techniques. The Eagle discerns when its time for the Eaglets to fly. It destroy the nest in which the Eaglets had been comfortably staying, meaning it's no longer time to stay on ground or trees, it's time to fly. It’s time to go to the next level in life.
It then spreads out the wings, take them up and carry them on its wings up in the air. Up in the air the Eagle turn the wings and the young ones fall off. These poor Eaglets which had never flown before, begin to fight for their life heading down and just before they hit the rocks, the Eagle spread out its wing for them to fall upon. The Eagle repeats the same process until these poor Eaglets will spread out their wings and begin to fly. In like manner, God took Israelites upon His wings, (Hands, ability) from Egypt (their comfortable place where all their lives depended) and carried them to the promised land (their destiny) And he allowed them to go through the wilderness to train then to learn never to depend on anything but on God alone (Deut 8:1-3)
We were born in this world and we’ve been brought up with dependence mentality. Some depend on their understanding, some on their well-to-do relatives, some on their jobs, some on their education etc. Dependence brings limitations! You can never go beyond the things or people you’re depending on. Your progress in life is determined by what or who you’re depending on. But those who depend on God can never be limited. Englishmen say, the sky is the limit but eagles fly above the clouds, so when you begin to fly upon the wings of God’s abilities, your exploits shall know no bounds (Dan11:32) Get out of that cage, prison, chain, get off the ground and begin venture into unlimited breakthroughs. You’ll go from glory to glory, you’ll occupy more spiritual territories, your leadership will shine brighter and brighter, you’ll become greater and greater in Christ! This is your day to mount up with wings like eagles. Release forth your faith, get on God’s wings and allow him to take you to greater heights in Jesus name. Stop crawling and start flying with God’s power and provisions. You can fly, you can make it, Paul said: " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me " (Phil 4:13)
Tomorrow we will see The Swiftness of Eagles. Enjoy the ride.
