Eagles Fly Alone at a High
Altitude and not with
Sparrows or Mix with other Smaller
Birds.
Birds of a feather flock together.
No other bird goes
to the height of the eagle. Eagles fly with eagles.
Never in a flock. Even when Moses (Old Testament Bible) went to commune with
God on the mountain, he left the crowd at the foothills. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles fly with eagles.
Eagles have Strong Vision,
which Focuses up to Five (5)
Kilometers from the Air.
When an eagle sites prey- even a rodent from this distance, he narrows
his focus on it and sets out to get it. No
matter the obstacle, the eagle will not move
his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
Have a vision and remain focused no matter
what the obstacle and you will succeed. Eagles
do not eat dead things. They feed on fresh
prey. Vultures eat dead animals but not
eagles. Steer clear of outdated and old information.
Do your research well always.
The Eagle is the only Bird that
Loves the Storm.
When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the wings of the
storm to rise and is pushed up higher. Once it
finds the wing of the storm, the eagle stops
flapping and uses the pressure of the raging
storm to soar the clouds and glide. This gives
the eagle an opportunity to rest its wings. In
the meantime all the other birds hide in the
leaves and branches of the trees. We can use
the storms of our lives (obstacles, trouble, etc)
to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges
and use them profitably.
The Eagle Tests Before it Trusts.
When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to
earth with the male pursing her and she picks
a twig. She flies back into the air with the
male pursuing her. Once she has reached a
height high enough for her, she lets the twig
fall to the ground and watches it as it falls.
The male chases after the twig. The faster it
falls, the faster he chases until he reaches
it and has to catch it before it falls to the
ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The
female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a much
higher altitude pursued by the male until she perceives
it high enough, and then drops the twig for
the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the
height increasing until the female eagle is assured
that the male eagle has mastered the art of
picking the twig which shows commitment, then and
only then, will she allow him to mate with her!
Whether in private life or in business, one
should test commitment of people intended for partnership.
Eagles Prepare for Training.
When about to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very
high on a cliff where no predators can reach;
the male flies to earth and picks thorns and
lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then
flies to earth again to collect twigs which he
lays in the intended nest. He flies back to
earth picks thorns and lays them on top of the
twigs. He flies back to earth and picks soft grass
to cover the thorns, and then flies back to pick
rugs to put on the grass. When this first layering
is complete the male eagle runs back to earth
and picks more thorns, lays them on the nest;
runs back to get grass and rugs and lays them
on top of the thorns, then plucks his feathers
to complete the nest. The thorns on the outside
of the nest protect it from possible intruders.
Both male and female eagles participate in
raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects
them; he builds the nest and hunts. During the
time of training the young ones to fly, the
mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest and
because they are scared, they jump into the nest
again. Next, she throws them out and then
takes off the soft layers of the nest, leaving
the thorns bare. When the scared eaglets jump
into the nest again, they are pricked by
thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out
again this time wondering why the mother and
father who love them so much are torturing
them. Next, mother eagle pushes them off the
cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear,
father eagle flies out and picks them up on
his back before they fall, and brings them
back to the cliff. This goes on for some time
until they start flapping their wings. They
get excited at this newfound knowledge that they
can fly and not fall at such a fast rate. The
father and mother eagle supports them with their
wings. The preparation of the nest teaches us
to prepare for changes; The preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both partners leads to success; The being pricked by the thorns tells us that
sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result into our not experiencing life, not progressing and not learning at all. The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest and love on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns; The people
who love us do not let us languish in sloth
but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in
their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions
for us.
Eagles Rejuvenate.
When the Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as
fast as he should. When he feels weak and
about to die, he retires to a place far away
in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every
feather on his body until he is completely
bare. He stays in this hiding place until he
has grown new feathers, then he can come out.
We occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without adding to our lives…
“Like an eagle that stirs up
its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and
carries them aloft” (Deuteronomy 32:11 NIV).
