It is a fact that anyone can be an achiever but not everyone is an achiever. Being an achiever takes a lot more than saying it. It involves consistentprogressive actions. If you are willing, you can be an achiever.

   Joseph, though a foreigner in Egypt, made a name for himself because he dared to be an achiever against all odds. You can be an achiever in soul winning, academics/career etc. May the Holy Spirit teach us today in Jesus name (Amen).

Topic: LIVING LIKE AN EAGLE Part1

Text: Isaiah 40:31

INTRODUCTION:

The Eagle is a bird that is unique: Today as we study the Holy Spirit will give us understanding in Jesus Name (Amen).

1.   YOU ARE UNIQUE

Everything about the Eagle is unique. For instance, before an Eagle is born, they have a small tooth on their beak and that helps them to break out of the egg. Their wings are specially designed to make them aerodynamically superior to other birds; they can build their nest at must higher elevation than other birds. As Eagles are unique from all other birds, you are also unique.You only need identify your strength.

Ps139;14 ,Pet2;9-10,Jn17;15-16,Ex 4:10,14,Esth 2;12-15,Mt3:11,Gen 29:32-35.

2.   SO WHY NOT FLY?

Believers in Christ are intended to fly at very high altitudes like Eagles. You are designed for heavenly realms. Your new nature, with these, Eagle’s wing make you want to soar up high, close to Christ in heavenly realms. You’ve got Eagle’s wings. Take an advantage of your position; through prayer and a refocusing of your mind, you will fly.

The ability to fly will give freedom, unique perspective of the world beneath, and the ability to view things differently.

Eph.2:6,Phil.4:13,Jn15;5,ISam17:45,Dan 3:17.
