Thank you for the Good work you’ve Placed in our hands – We will ensure never to put you to shame, in the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.
The Topic before us tonight is: ON EAGLES’ WINGS.
The Topic is a Powerful Theme that one one should trivialize tonight.
And the Bible Passage is from the Book of Isaiah 40: 28-31.
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching for his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But those 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 Lord bless the reading of His Word, in the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.
Tonight, I want us to consider the meaning of the two (2) words in the Subject matter – Eagle and Wings
- What is an EAGLE?
An Eagle is a large and Powerful bird that soars so high Majestically in the air.
- What are WINGS?
Wings on the other hand, are Part of the bird’s body that enables it to fly so high and gain balance in the Sky.
So, what does Eagles’ Wings mean?
Literally, Eagle’s Wings are the Parts of the Eagle’s body that enables it to soar so high Majestically; and that enables it to gain balance even in the Sky.
The Book of Revelation 4:6-9 gives us understanding of the Creatures that are in Heaven;
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. 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. 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. And when those Beasts give Glory and Honour and Thanks to Him that sat on the Throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
The Passage talked about the four (5) Living Creatures;
- The first Creature was like a Lion.
- The second Creature was like a Calf (A Lamb),
- The third Creature had the Likeness of a Man;
- And the fourth (4th) Creature was like an Eagle.
So tonight, we shall be focusing on the Eagle.
LESSONS THAT CHRISTIANS CAN LEARN FROM THE EAGLE.
- Eagles have Clear and Sharp Vision.
The length and breadth you can go in Life is determined by how far you can see – How far you can see will determine how far you can go.
The Book of Genesis 37:5-9 tells us about a Young man called Joseph: He had Dreams and Visions, where he saw himself becoming Great. And held unto the Dreams until they came to Manifestation.
- Eagles fly alone.
Your Dream and you is different from that of your neighbour.
So, if you live like your friends, it is Possible that you may not achieve your Dreams.
The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:17, Separate ye from among them.
There must be a separation between you and your Neighbours for your Destiny to be fulfilled.
The fulfilment of your Destiny is Personal – Chicken and birds can not fly together:
You are an Eagle, and they are Chicken.
There’s a Great difference between the two – Your Destination is different from theirs and your Vision is different from theirs.
- Eagles don’t feed on dead animals.
No wonder the Bible tells us in 1 Peter 2:2 that, As newborn babies, se should desire the Pure Milk of the Word.
You need to feed on the Living Word of God.
- Eagles Soar Higher and Higher in the Storm.
Can I tell you tonight:
- Regardless of the Challenges and the Circumstances that confront you, never give up!
- Regardless the situation you find yourself, never give up.
Daniel 11:32B says: but the People that do know their God shall be Strong, and do Exploits.
Can I ask you a sincere and simple Question tonight: Do you know Jesus?
If you know Jesus, there is nothing to fear.
Because with Jesus, you can Soar so high and so far in Life and in Destiny.
- The Eagles lay off old Feathers and Beaks.
Hebrews 12:1 tells us to lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
You cannot fly if those weights and sins are still in your body.
It is an error for you to return home with that Sickness -That is why you came: to Encounter God, so that you can drop all the Sicknesses, the Challenges and Pains at the feet of Jesus Christ.
WHY SHOULD I MOUNT UP ON EAGLE’S WINGS?
You need to know why you must mount up on Eagles’ Wings:
- To live as Royalty.
1 Peter 2:9 says: But ye are a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a Peculiar People; that ye should shew forth the Praises of Him who hath called you out of Darkness into His Marvellous Light.
So, you don’t need to live like a Chicken – Live like an Eagle that God has made you.
Journey with the King of kings tonight, and you will live like a Royalty.
You cannot soar on Eagles’ Wings with the King of kings and remain the same – Negatively.
No Sir! Part of His Royalty will rub off on you.
In as much as you have come before God, His Kingly Splendor will rob off on you; and you will begin to Legislate as a King yourself – Amen.
Revelation 5:10 tells us: And hast made us unto our God Kings and Priests: and we shall reign on the Earth.
2 Samuel 9:1-10 gives us a typical Example of a Man who had an encounter with a King: Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul.
… The King we are talking about in this Scripture was King David.
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him Kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
Is there someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC, that will have an encounter with the King of kings and Lord of lords?
If you are here, I Congratulate you.
Listen to me tonight – God was seeking for a Man, and He went to the family of Adeboye. He said, is there anybody in the family of Adeboye that I can make Royalty? So he can reign here on Earth?
And the Lord found our father-in-the-Lord – Pastor E.A Adeboye!
When you read 2 Samuel 9:4 the Scripture says, And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the King, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
Your current location does not matter. What matters is that you locate the One who can cause you to mount up on Eagles’ Wings.
I know a God who can pick a man from Lodebar and set him in the Palace.
And that God will locate you tonight, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
If the Lord carries you on His Wings, your Location does not matter – He Picked Mephibosheth from Lodebar, and made him dine with a King.
May that God locate you tonight, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
After this Special Holy Ghost Service, you will begin to sit with the High and the Mighty, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
I don’t want to know your family background; I am here to introduce you to the One who can make you mount on Eagles’ Wings. The One who can make a man Soar so high!
I decree tonight; your Correct Location does not matter. My God will take you to the Location where you ought to Operate, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
- To operate with Christ far above Principalities and Power.
Ephesians 1:20-22 tells us: Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the Heavenly Places, Far above all Principalities and Power, and Might, and Dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the Church,
If Jesus can carry you, you will begin to operate in the same Level where He operates.
The Bible says in Philippians 2:9; Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth;
Meaning: If Jesus carries me, I can also operate above Principalities and Power.
If Jesus carries you, you will begin to operate in the same realm of Power and Dominion.
The Book of John 14:12 says, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and Greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Ephesians 4:8 says: Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led Captivity Captive, and gave Gifts to men.”
Then Ephesians 4:11 says: And he gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists’; and some, Pastors and Teachers;
Why? Because that is who we ought to be here on Earth.
- To enjoy the Grace of Ease and Speed.
When you soar on Eagles’ Wings, things that take men ten (10) years to accomplish will take you just ten (10) Months.
Why? Because you are not banking on your Strength; the Eagle Himself is the One carrying you. Hence, He can cause you to achieve what takes others ten (10) to do, in just ten (10) Months.
Stop Labouring to get things done and look for the Eagle Himself to carry you on His Wings – Because when He carries you, you will achieve impossible feats.
We are able to achieve Great things with ease, when we mount up on Eagles’ Wings!
Your Strength and Capacity may fail you but you can bank on the Strength of the Lord.
When others are facing difficulties, you can enjoy double ease.
Why? God is showing you favour and ease.
Men also are showing you favour because you are soaring on Eagles’ Wings.
- To Enjoy Victory.
1 Samuel 17:42-51 records the Story of a man called David, who got Victory – He defeated Goliath; the Captain of the Philistines.
It was not by his Strength; it was because he was operating on the Wings of the Eagle.
So The Lord carried him on His Wings and he defeated Goliath with just a Stone.
How do we explain this? The Workability of the Eagle in your Life.
If the Eagle carries you, nothing is impossible for you to do.
The Lord granted David Victory because He carried him on His Wings.
Let Jesus carry you, so that He can win the battle for you – Enough of fighting the battle by yourself.
Let the One who can win the battle carry you.
2 King 1:9-15 tells us about a Man called Elijah – The King wanted to devour him. Little did he know that he had mounted on Eagles’ Wings.
The King sent the first fifty (50) Soldiers, Elijah called down Fire to consume them.
He sent the second fifty (50) Soldiers, Elijah called down Fire to consume them.
And the third fifty (50) Soldiers had to operate in Wisdom – They said to the Man who was carried on Eagles’ Wings, “Please Sir, just come with us.”
When you begin to operate on Eagles’ Wings, you will get Victory Cheaply.
- So that you can Soar so High in Life and in Destiny.
There is no limit to how High God can take you – You can go very high and so far in Life, only if you can allow God; The Eagle Himself to carry you.
How do we explain the Man who slept and woke up as a Prisoner; but went to bed the following day as a Prime Minister in the Palace?
It is because he was carried on Eagles’ Wings!
In Genesis 41:39-44, the Bible says: Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your Consent, no Man may lift his hand or foot in all the Land of Egypt.”
Pharaoh banked on the Integrity of his name; but made Pronouncements on a Man who has been carried on Eagles’ Wings!
HOW TO MOUNT UP ON EAGLE’S WINGS
- Position your Mind and Desire to be lifted by the Eagle.
Position your Mind and desire to be carried by God Himself – No man waits upon the Lord and remains the same.
When you come to the Lord, He carries you like a baby.
Have you seen a mother carrying a baby before? The baby operates under ease.
Proverbs 23:7 says: For as he thinketh in his Heart, so is he.
Your Today is the direct reflection of your thought and your Thinking System; your Today is the direct reflection of your desires.
Do you want to Soar like an Eagle? Do you want to mount up on Eagles’ Wings?
Allow Jesus to carry you – Ask Him to carry you and He will definitely carry you.
- Wait upon the Lord!
The Destiny of those that Wait don’t waste
If you cannot wait, you can end up being wasted in Life and Destiny.
Wait on Jesus – Just as little children depend on their Parents to get things done.
Isaiah 40:30-31 says, Even the Youths shall faint and be weary, and the Young Men shall utterly fall: But those 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.
Could this be the reason Youths of our Generation are failing because they don’t want to wait?
Could it be the reason the People of my Generation are rushing?
There is a Place called, the “Waiting Room”.
- Set your gaze on Jesus.
Enough of looking unto men – Set your gaze on Jesus!
Redirect your focus to God – He is the One who can carry you.
Has Man not failed you enough? Have Men not failed you enough?
Brethren, the Eagle Himself can carry you – Take your trust away from man!
Psalms 121:1 says, I will lift up my eyes to the Hills. From whence comes my Help? My Help comes from the Lord,
And that Help will come for you tonight, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
The best of a Man is always limited to the Man.
Is it not the Man that the Bible says his heart is very wicked?
Don’t depend on Man!
Depend on the Eagle Himself – Let the Eagle carry you.
Tell somebody tonight: Let the Eagle carry you!
Hebrews 12:2 says, Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.
- Depend on His Strength.
His Strength is enough for you.
When you allow Jesus to carry you, you don’t need to depend on your Strength or Weakness.
Just relax and allow Him carry you on Eagles’ Wings to the Destination of your Dream Point.
There is no Heights or Limits that God cannot take you.
Zechariah 4:6 says: O he answered and said to me: “This is the Word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by Might nor by Power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of Hosts.
… It is not by the Power of Man; it is by the Power of the Eagle Himself – It is by the Power of Jesus Himself.
The Strength and Power of Men had even failed us in our Nation – It is time for God’s children to begin to depend on the Strength and Power of the Lord:
- Our Nation can depend on the Strength of Jesus.
- Our Economy can depend on the Strength of Jesus.
- Surrender your Life and All to Jesus and follow Him.
Matthew 4:19 tells us, Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you Fishers of Men.”
The ‘Making’ Process starts from the Point you begin to follow Jesus.
If you decide to follow Jesus, then you have commenced the ‘Making’ Process.
God will make men here tonight – Amen!
For Men who have decided to follow Jesus, the Lord will make you what you want to be, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Before an Eaglet will start to fly, it must obey the Instructions of the “Mother Eagle”.
And after a while you will see the Eaglet flying so High.
Our father-in-the-Lord obeyed the instructions of the Lord – He laid aside his Career and Ambition of becoming the Youngest Vice Chancellor; he moved to a small Apartment in Mushin (Lagos State Nigeria).
And from Mushin, he obeyed God’s Instructions to move to a jungle on Lagos – Ibadan Expressway.
Who would have believed that same jungle would become a City (RCCG Redemption City): where Kings and Nobels, both White and Black come to seek the face of God?
Can you obey the commands and the instructions of the Eagle tonight?
Jesus is the Eagle we are talking about – Obey Him, and listen to His Instructions.
ALTAR CALL
No matter how bad you think your case may be; what you need to do is to Submit to the Lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
What you need to do is to Surrender all to Him, and watch Him make your Life an amazing Wonder.
No matter how deep you think you are in sin; no matter how broken you think you are; no matter how hard your Challenge may be.
Can I tell you something?
Jesus can gather up your “Broken Pieces”; mend them, and make you what you want to be.
Jesus is Calling on you today!
Matthew 11:28 says, Come to Me, all you who Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
When our father-in-the-Lord makes the Altar Call tonight, I want to beseech you in the Name of Jesus, rush forward and Surrender all to Jesus.
Can we rise up tonight as we Pray!
CLOSING PRAYER
Cry at the top of your voice and say: JESUS; carry me on Your Wings to the Mountaintop.
Holy Ghost, carry me on Your Wings to my Place of Destiny.
Carry me to my Place of Power.
Carry me to my Place of Influence,
Carry me to my Dreamland.
Lift up your voice and Pray!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
