OPENING PRAYER
The Unshakable Shaker, we say Thank You!

The One that fights a battle without losing.
In fact, the One that appears without fighting and still wins.

Thank You for what You are doing already;
Thank You for what You are still going to do.
Daddy Please, in Your Mercy, accept our Thanks and Praises, in the Name of Jesus.
Father, I come before You Lord: I have come here tonight not to compete; but rather to learn at Your feet and to tell the world about Your Goodness.
Father Please, reveal Yourself tonight, in the Name of Jesus.
Thank You Father because You have answered my Prayer.
In Jesus’ Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Can you do something for Jesus quickly (Clapping)!
I want to sincerely use this opportunity to appreciate our father and our mother in the Lord.
Thank You so much for this Privilege – We do not take it for granted. We are your children, and we are your Product.
Can we Celebrate Daddy and Mummy!
Thank you so much.
And I want to appreciate all our Senior Pastors (our Leaders) for raising us the Young ones – We are Grateful.
Can we Please, Celebrate all our fathers and mothers in Faith.
Thank you so much – The Lord will help us, in the Name of Jesus!
… Can we say a louder Amen – Amen.
As we all know, our focus today is: “ON EAGLES’ WINGS.”
And I want us to know that anytime a Topic like this comes forth; anytime God is gives a matter like this to our father-in-the-Lord; it is not just a mere Topic, they are not just mere words – It is actually a Word from the Father to our own father in the house.
That is why we are confident that our focus tonight is not just a Topic, rather it is the Mind of God for a Season like this.
If God is saying to our father-in-the-Lord that it is Time for us to ride on Eagles’ Wings; it means that the it is Time for us to really ride!
If you are one of those who is going to ride on Eagles’ Wings; wherever you are, can God hear your Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
I’ll quickly take my Bible Reading from Revelation 4:1-8
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as if it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightning and thunder and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne, there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
Let me quickly take a Bible Review from our Text (Revelation 4:18):
In Verses 1-5 there is a man there called John. And he was the one actually speaking in this Passage.
If you check Verse 2, the Scripture says, “he was in the Spirit.”
This Particular John we are talking about was a man that was exciled, banished to the Island of Patmos for the sake of the Gospel.
Yet, according to Revelation 4:2 this man (John) was in the Spirit – He was still in tune with the Holy Ghost: Still riding on the Wings of the Father.
Not minding the Challenges around. Not minding the difficulties, not minding the Problems Surrounding him: he was still in the Spirit.
And he said, “behold, a Throne was set in Heaven, and one sat on the Throne.”
And he began to give a description of the One who sat on the Throne – Telling us how our Maker looks; showing us the Beautification of God. Like an Emerald, Rainbow surrounding His Throne.
When you read further, John said, “And round about the Throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty Elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads Crowns of Gold” – Revelation 4:4
The Point I want us to note in Revelation 4:1-5 is this: it shows us the description of the Beautification of God’s Glory.
And you know many of us believe that as Christians, as Saints; the only Ministry we are entitled to is the Ministry of Angels.
According to Hebrews 1:13-14, the Scripture says, Are they not all Ministering Spirits, sent forth to Minister for them who shall be Heirs of Salvation?
But I want to tell you, from our Bible Text – The Bible says, “And upon the seats I saw four and twenty Elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads Crowns of Gold.”
There is something Unique about the Twenty four (24) Elders – They were not just Elders; they are also Spirits in the realm of God, that God Himself created, to Minister unto us.
When you read Revelation 5:1 to the end, we are told: And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the Throne a Book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a Strong Angel Proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the Book, and to loose the seals thereof? – Revelation 5:1-2
There are matters that even Angels cannot address; there are matters in which Angels are still in the dark.
But in Revelation 5:5 the Bible says, And one of the Elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath Prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Even when Angels were confused, Elders were not confused. Because their lives rotate around the Throne of God. They have an understanding of everything about God.
What is confusing to Angles is not confusing to Elders.
Only one (1) out of the twenty four (24) Elders showed up. And said, I know you are a Mighty Angel; you may not understand these things. But there is a Lamb who was slain, that we have come to Celebrate: He is Worthy!
Can somebody say: Jesus is Worthy!
One (1) of the twenty four (24) Elders said, Mighty Angel if you look at the Throne you might be confused. But as Elders, our Thrones are round about God. And the Mighty Angel was quiet. The Elder said, the Lamb of God has Overcome.
Can you say to your Neighbour: The Lamb has Overcome!
Tell your Neighbour: The Ministry of Angels is important!
Hallelujah!
When you also look at Revelation 4:6-8, the Scripture talks about the four (4) Living Creatures – And the first beast was like a Lion, and the second beast like a Calf, and the third beast had a face as a Man, and the fourth beast was like a Flying Eagle.
These are other Spirits that God created to assist Believers – They actually represent the Glorious dimension of God.
Matthew 10:16 – Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
This focuses on the Gentle side of God.
The one with the face of a Lion focuses on the terrible side of God; the fury side of God, according to Revelation 5:5 – Behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath Prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Hallelujah!
The one that has the face of a Calf; Matthew 10:16B says, be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
The Calf focuses on the Gentle side of God.
The next one talks about the face of a Man.
When you read John 1:14, the Bible says, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and Truth.
And when you read Hebrews 13:1-12, the Scripture says, that we should love one another – “Let Brotherly Love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain Strangers: for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares.”
Angels can come in the form of Men.
When you read Genesis 18:1-10, God showed up as Men and told Abraham that his barrenness is about to end:
And the LORD appeared unto him in the Plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
God showed up using the face of Men, and they said to Abraham: listen, we have come from the Throne of God to give you Good News, that your barrenness is about to end.
Can I speak to somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; everything that is barren in your Life as you rise to your feet and shout a louder Amen, an end come upon Barrenness – Amen!
And the fourth (4th) Creature, the Bible says had a face like that of an Eagle:
… And remember, that’s our focus tonight.
THE FACE OF AN EAGLE
I will quickly mention some unyique Features of an Eagle:
There are many of them: but for the sake of time tonight, I will just focus on the Eagles’ Wings.
- Although we all know that Eagles are known for their Strength, as a large bird. They can pick up their Preys two times their own weight.
- Eagles have Powerful Vision – They can sight their Preys from afar.
- They have Muscular Legs for grabbing their Preys, and for maintaining balance on a tree.
- They have Good beaks for eating flesh from their Preys.
There are many other Characteristics but Permit me to look at:
LIMITATIONS OF EAGLES
Let’s look at some Limitations of the Eagles:
- Eagles are Diurnal Birds:
That is, they are more active in the morning and Evening.
But at Night they look for a comfortable Place to rest.
DMC Notes: Diurnal Birds are birds of Prey that hunt in the Daytime.
I took time to Study Eagles – They sleep for ten (10) to twelve (12) hours in a day. They take out time to enjoy
The Psalmist says in Psalms 121:4 – Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
So the Eagle we are focusing on today is not a thing – He is a Person.
Tell your Neighbour: the Eagle we are talking about today is not a thing, He is a Person – He neither sleeps, He neither slumbers. He does not doze.
Can somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
In Revelation 4:8b the Bible says that the fourth (4th) Living Creature with the face of an Eagle, “rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”
And don’t forget, the four (4) Living Creatures represent the four Dimensions of God’s Glory:
- God can come as a Lion, in His Fiery State.
- God can come as a Calf, in His Humble Personality.
- God can come as a Man, in disguise to humble us.
- God can come as an Eagle. That is why we are focusing today around the Eagle.
And I see the Lord Changing Stories tonight – Amen.
I see People soaring tonight – Amen.
We have looked at the Uniqueness of Eagles; and we have seen their Limitations but quickly, Permit me to say this to you:
If God is giving a Topic like this to our father-in-the-Lord, that it is time to ride on Eagles’ Wings – It means it is time for us to be on Motion – Amen.
It is time for us to soar beyond our Current Level – Amen.
If you are ready to Change Levels here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC, kindly rise on your feet and move around right where you are and say: I Change my Position. I move into Glory, I move into Honour – Do it Prophetically.
Amen!
You may be seated. God Bless You, in Jesus’ Name.
CATEGORIES OF MOTION OR MOVEMENT
Quickly, let’s look at some Categories of Motion or Movement:
- We have the Total or Complete Stagnation.
In Mark 2:1-11; the Bible talks about the Paralytic Man who was carried by four (4) men to meet with Jesus. That’s a Stage of no Movement at all.
I decree to somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; everything that is Stagnant in your Life, in your Finance, in your Business, in your Career, in your Destiny, I decree begin to move now – Amen
- We have to Crawling Stage.
- We can have the Walking and Leaping Stage:
Acts 3:1-9 talks about the Lame Man at the Beautiful Gate – He was Walking and Leaping.
- We have the Running Stage.
It is to make steady Progress – At least you are moving.
… No movement at all (Stagnant), Crawling Stage, Walking and Leaping Stage, the Running Stage.
- The Flying Stage: .
There is enough space in the air to fly without any Collision.
In the realm of the Spirit, you have Wings with which we can fly.
Salvation gives you a Wings.
Your Wings are activated to soar like Eagles.
- Another Category of Movement is to be carried on Eagles’ Wings.
What does it mean “to be carried on Eagles’ Wings?”
It means to be delivered, or it means to be helped.
Exodus 19:3-4 God told Moses, Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on Eagles’ Wings, and brought you unto myself.
In conclusion, I want to share a Story with us – Practically Speaking.
I read the Story of a man – Bro. Lucky by name.
When I was Meditating on this Story, I heard God telling me, something is about to happen tonight.
Here’s what happened to him:
Bro. Lucky was about to going to work and the Lord told him, begin to Pray; something is about to happen, so begin to Pray.
But Bro. Lucky was telling God, I am already late for work.
God said, begin to Pray and then he started Praying.
After Praying, he left for work, and entered a taxi at Oshodi (DMC NOTE: A City in Lagos State Nigeria).
By the time he regained himself, he found himself in thick and terrible forest.
Apparently he was kidnapped.
What he saw around him were freshly Slaughtered human Parts and immediately, he started Praying aloud.
The People there said, shut up, your Praying is disturbing us. Then he started Praying from within. And they said they could still hear him and then something happened!
You know what happened? Bro Lucky remembered the Story of Esther – When she was to go before the King to Plead for the lives of the Jews, she said “If I Perish, I Perish!”
So he started Praying in the Spirit.
And the Wind Blew! Like our father-in-the-Lord told us.
When the wind blew, a hand carried the brother and he found himself at Ore Junction (DMC NOTES: A City in Ondo State Nigeria).
Can I speak to the Life that will shout a louder Amen;
I don’t know what has been kidnapped in your Life, but I see God bringing it back in the Name of Jesus – Amen
FOR YOU TO RIDE ON EAGLES’ WINGS, YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:
- You must be Saved; and you must be Born Again.
1 Timothy 2:14 says, And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the Transgression.
Our father-in-the-Lord will be giving the Altar Call later tonight; if you are not Born Again, you have to run forward and Surrender your Life to Jesus.
Very important! Because your Story is about to Change – “Except you are Save, you are not Safe.”
- And the Last Point, after you have been saved, it is very important that you begin to: Wait on the Lord.
Isaiah 40:31 says, 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 Grace to wait, Receive this in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Can somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
