There are lots of things to learn from the eagle because it is a powerful bird that signifies strength. Eagle as a bird flies at the highest height.
Qualities of Eagles are :
They have strong vision ,
They are fearless
They don't eat dead meat
They are not troubled by storms
They are tenacious.
Despite all these qualities , the eagle can be caged .

There are many people who are talented and gifted , beautiful and handsome , well educated , well anointed but CAGED .

To be caged is to be captured , to be bound , be hindered.
Cage always hides its victims .It denies its victims of opportunities , hinders and impede progress.
A cage allows its victims to see but not have or possess .

We have learnt from the Scriptures that it is possible to be created as a gold mine but live and die as a sawdust or stone .
It is possible that someone that is created as an eagle can die as a chicken . It shall not be your portion , in the name of Jesus.

God wants you to fly .

THE EAGLE AMONG THE CHICKENS .

There is this story of an eagle .

A hunter went into the forest and saw a particular egg laid by an eagle and picked it up. He added the egg to the ones laid by the hen in the house . Overtime , the hen hatched all the eggs including that of the eagle.
As thus eaglet grew up , it accepted the hen as its mother and everything the hen and other chicken ate was what the eaglet ate .

One day , in the course of picking food . something happened . A big bird flew across , the eaglet took notice of the big bird and asked the mother hen what kind of bird that was and was told it was an eagle . The eaglet told her that it loved that bird but the mother chicken told it to shut up because she was a chicken .

The eaglet never knew it was an eagle . She adjusted to the environment and adopted the
lifestyle of picking her food from the litter bin like chicken .

To be continued .

Another day as they were strolling outside , this big bird flew across again but this time around , the bird that was airborne took notice of the eaglet that resembled it and it started descending. The mother hen ran away but the eaglet stood still because of the inborn spirit of boldness in it .
The eagle landed beside the eaglet and they stared at each other . The eagle then asked eaglet , '' why are you here ? '' The eaglet replied that she came there to eat with her mother the hen . The eagle said , '' but she is not your mother , you are not a chicken you are an eagle.
The eaglet told the eagle , '' no I am not an eagle, my mother said I am a chicken '' . The eagle told the eaglet that it should not listen to the hen . Listen to your inner voice and not your so called mother hen '' .

There are people who need to listen to their inner voice .
Of all the external voices , non would tell who you are . It is only when you listen to your inner voice that you will understand you are not what people call you but what God calls you .

Just like the Israelites who called themselves grasshoppers :

Numbers 13:33 KJV
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

But Joshua and Caleb who could see beyond the physical and knew that it is what God says you are that matters said :

Numbers 14:6-9 KJV
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: [7] And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. [8] If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. [9] Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

To be continued .

As long as you listen to external or wrong voices , you will remain a failure and not fulfil your God's given potentials . Some negative voices would be praising you while deceiving you , but when you refuse to harken but rather obey the correct voice which says , '' why is your life like this ? , why must you die like this ? , rise up and perform , you can make it , don't give up , don't commit suicide '' etc then the eagle in you will be energized .

You are not here to follow the crowd , you are supposed to fly high . Don't give in to excuses.Excuses are for the indolent .God does not listen to excuses.

There are many great things God has planted inside us .
You must not die with these potentials and abilities.

THERE ARE FOUR KINDS OF PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET .

1) THE ABUSERS :
What does it mean to abuse ? It means to use something abnormally . When you use a microphone to walking stick , that is an abuse .

There are so many people who are abusing their lives by living the opposite of what God want for them .
There are many people who are abusing their lives by indulging SINFUL activities . At the end of the day , these people just die miserably as failures.

For example , what Samson did was an abuse of his life . God gave him a pattern to follow , but he disregarded the instructions and chose to do what he liked .

God is telling you that you must stop abusing your life by stealing , fornicating , smoking and drinking of alcohol , committing adultery etc.

To be continued .

THE SECOND KIND OF PEOPLE ARE .

The Accuser :

They are the kind of people who assume that every other human being have offended them Their father offended them , their mother offended them . They accuse everybody including the pastor . To them , everybody is bad .
Their father is bad , government is bad , uncle is bad , church is bad , politicians are bad , teachers are bad , lecturers are bad .

There are people like that . When you see the pattern their life is going , it is difficult for them to see good because they never see anything good in anybody .

They need to come back to themselves and listen to the voice of God so that their eagles can fly .

THE EXCUSERS :

They excuse themselves from everything.
Why you ask them ;
Why did you not pass the JAMB ? Our teachers did not teach us well .
Why did you not succeed ? Well , if I had travelled to the USA , if my father was a wealthy etc. That is typical example of an excuser .

They will blame their wives , their husband , their brothers , their relatives , the government , in short everybody for their predicaments .

Since you came into this house , nothing is working again . Why are you not succeeding ?
It is the evil powers of our father's house .
They keep giving excuses after excuses .
