Every change of story is triggered by insight. 2 Corinthians 3:18. Just one word from heaven. A word came from Oral Roberts in 1977 to be precise on the story of the eagle. It gave me a very strong taste for challenges.
The mother Eagle takes the baby eagle up and it’s having a nice time and suddenly it removes her wing and the baby goes ‘wicked! wicked! witch! witch’ but it is developing its wings. So I began to enjoy challenges as God’s agenda for development of my wings so I won’t die an eaglet.
Any eaglet that hates to go through that challenge will die in the nest. Oral is in heaven, he won’t know what he did for me that day. He just changed my perspective that challenges do not mean you are a failure, it just means you are on your way to becoming a champion. You are just on the highway to championship. Nothing strengthens the believer like light, nothing changes the believer’s story like light.
When you see a gold medalist in the wrestling contest – any World Wrestling Heavyweight Champion has received some heavyweight blows. The intestine cried, the lungs grinned, he was on his way to carrying the belt. Without those things you are not a candidate for the belt. It is not unspiritual to be challenged but it is unscriptural to be defeated. So smile at those challenges they are there for development of your wings as you overcome them by faith. You overcome obstacles and challenges not food.
