GREETINGS beloved nation. Isaiah 40:31 tells us, “But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” The Bible further reveals in Isaiah 40:28, “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.”
Ladies and gentlemen, our God does not faint according to the scriptures. While other creations, including animals and humanity, experience weariness, there are aspects of life that can tire us.
Some believers have even wavered in their commitment to the things of God. The scriptures pose the question, “have you not heard or have you not known”—indicating that some do not recognize that God does not tire or grow weary.
When challenges arise in their lives, families, or nations, some may believe that God has failed or is unable to handle difficult situations.
Yet the scriptures affirm that God does not experience fatigue as we do.
The Bible continues in verse 29, stating, “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.” In our world, various circumstances can lead to weariness.
Thus, we must seek strength. May God increase your strength!
God encourages us to renew our strength. If you find yourself anchored in past glories, it’s time to transition to a new existence of glory. Verse 31 informs us that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
We begin with walking, then running, and ultimately soaring with wings like eagles. We must embody the strength of an eagle.
Through my study of the eagle, one distinguishing feature is its exceptional vision. They can spot prey from miles away. An eagle symbolizes a prophetic eye and we must learn to operate within the prophetic grace.
You should be able to discern insights regarding your life, church and business. As believers, we need to embody the grace of the eagle.
Moreover, we must be attuned to prophetic whispers and directions from the heavenly realms. I pray that you obtain a prophetic eye, enabling you to exercise dominion in your decisions regarding business, family, relationships, ministry and career, which should all be informed by the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
The grace of the prophetic is accessible to anyone who seeks it. It is distinct from the role of a prophet. We must be attuned to interpreting the signs around us.
One remarkable lesson I learned about the eagle is that, at the age of 40, it faces a crucial decision – to die or to endure a painful rebirth process that can extend its life.
Thus, an eagle often finds itself at a crossroads and must go through a waiting period filled with decisions.
This journey leads the eagle to a secure nest high on a cliff, where it begins the arduous task of renewing its beak, talons and feathers over several months.
The eagle’s beak and talons are sharp, enabling it to consume fresh prey through hunting. As it ages, these tools dull, making it difficult to hunt and feed.
Consequently, the eagle must endure the painful process of shedding its outdated beak and talons, allowing new ones to emerge. This involves striking its beak against a rock and its talons as well.
During this phase, the eagle cannot eat or catch prey and survives solely on water. In a spiritual context, many of us have become dull and struggle to perceive things in the spirit. It is essential that our prophetic insight be sharpened and our spiritual lives remain vibrant.
We should evaluate whether we are still sharp in our commitment to the Lord. If not, we must undergo the renewal process akin to that of the eagle. Some of us need to renew our words.
We must practice discipline regarding our speech because our words have the power to build or destroy. Let us, as believers, speak life.
Now, I fully grasp the meaning of Isaiah 40:31, which emphasises the renewal of our strength. It signifies a process, albeit a painful one.
At this juncture, the eagle is vulnerable; it can be attacked, it cannot eat and it survives solely on water, which represents the Word of God.
When we decide to pursue renewal, we enter a phase of fasting, striking ourselves against the Rock, Jesus, as certain burdens are lifted from our lives.
This period of separation allows God to distance us from distracting noises. Once the eagle’s beak regrows, it begins the arduous process of shedding its old feathers to fly once more with renewed strength. Interestingly, after this renewal, an eagle can live another 40 years.
God is calling us into a space of renewal.
The Bible also tells us in Ezekiel 1:10, “As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.”
The lion’s face symbolizes a fighting spirit, dominion, power, and authority. The eagle’s face signifies a prophetic eye. The ox’s face represents servanthood, emphasising our role as servants.
The face of man embodies compassion and concern for others. These are the dimensions we, as believers, are expected to embody. Isaiah 40:31 speaks of mounting up with wings as eagles.
When observing an eagle, it becomes apparent that they seldom flap their wings. Instead, they spread them and soar through the sky, even amidst fierce storms.
As believers, we are called to rise above life’s storms, mirroring the eagle’s ability to renew its strength.
I invite you to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour by believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that He is your Lord and Saviour, and you shall be saved.
May God bless you all.
