ECHOES OF HIS SPIRIT

     A friend of mine listed "How to realize the plan of God for your life" on facebook, so I'll just shed some light on them as I list them out. 1.) YOU MUST BE SAVED. >>>>Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have come between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing.   Of course, you should know that as long as you are living a life if sin, you can't have a relationship with God unless you repent. You wouldn't share your secrets with someone you barely have a relationship with, so how do you expect God to tell a sinner about His plans and purpose. DUH!!! 2.) YOU MUST BE FAITHFUL/ STEADFAST IN HIS WORK. >>>>John 15:15  No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.   Only those who are faithfully committed to doing God's work 'cos as you do so, an intimate ...

  Welcome to the 21st century, when most youngsters dream of becoming great movie stars, artists, fashion designers, doctors and others like that, you know na. Some even think it's their God-given destiny to become someone great in this world, I mean to be get in the eyes of the world, instead of in God's eyes. An example is Alberto Del Rio, who thinks it's his destiny to become the world heavy weight champion. SMH for him. When God created you, He did so in His image and likeness as we all know, and also for His pleasures (not the world's) and His perfect will. There are various reasons for different people God created, but all these reasons revolve around one purpose; >>>>>Exodus 9:16  But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.   Till you start living according to God's plan and purpose for your life, you're just existing no matter how wealthy you re. This doesn't mean...

Now we're left with 2 eaglets, and as the parable says, one surpassed the other in terms of strength and authority even though they both passed through the training stage... Let's go to the story of Noah and his three sons after the flood. Gen9:21-25 “21 Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.25 Then he said: "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren."    Noah represents the eagle (which symbolizes our spiritual oversight), "Shem and Japheth and "Ham" represents the 2 eaglets (which symbolizes us). From ...

The second eaglet is symbolic of those in the church who don't take their relationship with God seriously.  As an eaglet grows it has to pass through some training before it becomes a mature eagle... Even though I've never experienced the sight, I know, from some documentaries I've watched, that when an eagle wants to teach her eaglet how to fly; it carries it to a high altitude and drops it. The eagle doesn't drop it from that height to kill it, but to teach it to fly and this is something it'll struggle to do. From the parable, one of the eaglets grew weak and eventually died, this happened because it didn't go through the process diligently. We all know that we can't perform effectively if we don't train ourselves properly. Our pastors and teacher tell us to pray diligently, read, study and do God's word daily e.t.c. They are not doing that to show-off how spiritual they are or something like that (I can't speak for all though), but because ...

   There lived an eagle, she laid 4 eggs in her nest (high above the ground), all hatched and emerged as little eaglets. One day, while she was away to get some food for her eaglets, one of the eaglets stood at the tip of the nest and eventually fell to the ground.  Another grew weak and eventually died. The last 2 eaglets grew up and became mature eagles, but one surpassed the other in strength and authority. The mother eagle symbolizes our spiritual father/ oversight, while the nest symbolizes the church.  As the parable says, one of the eaglets fell from the tree while standing at its tip. The eaglet stood at the tip admiring the wonders of the world and its worldly pleasures (covetousness) {remember the devil tried to tempt Jesus like this}. The eaglet got so engulfed in it to the extent that it fell from its nest, luckily it survived the fall. The eaglet should have stayed where it fell so its mother would have taken it back to the nest when it returned, but i...
