SIX LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE...
1. *Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.*
They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.
*MEANING*; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.
2. *Eagles have an Accurate Vision.* They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
*MEANING*; Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed.
3. *Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey.*
*MEANING*; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.
4. *Eagles Love the Storm.*
When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.
*MEANING*; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and use them profitably.
5. *Eagles Prepare for Training;*
They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies/ when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest./
*MEANING*; Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth there.
6. *When the Eagle Grows Old,*
His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.
*MEANING*; We occasionally need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives should be let go of.
*NEVER GIVE UP,*
*BE AN EAGLE*

*YOU ARE A SOLUTION BEARER*
*BIBLE READING: GENESIS 41:13-40*
*“The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father—your father the king—made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.” Daniel 5:10-12(NKJV).*
In the beginning, the Lord created the heavens and the earth, and everything the Lord created was good and in harmony until Adam’s rebellion and things fell apart. Creation and creatures fell from glory, and darkness and disorder became the order of the day. Our basic scripture typifies a Kingdom in chaos and in dire need of solutions to a challenge which defied human knowledge. As a result, the king and cabinet members having exhausted all possible solutions but to no avail, were helpless and resorted to fate until a solution bearer was recommended in the cabinet by the queen- *“The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. Daniel 5:10(NKJV).*
Currently, the world is beleaguered by a pandemic that has affected every sphere of society defying established solutions. Just as it was in 2Kings 6 where the Axe that was borrowed drowned and Elisha, the prophet and solution provider was called upon and the Axe head floated supernaturally; the Lord placed gifts in men as solution bearers in every sphere of society. We are meant to discover, refine and deploy such gifts as solutions before kings- *“A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men. Proverbs 18:16(NKJV).*
As a kingdom representative with treasures in your earthen vessel; what have you done with your treasures? Those treasures are solutions to the problems mankind is faced with. It was in a time of despair that the unbeliever, queen mother recited Daniel's resume which we read in Daniel 5:10-12. When remedies to problems are sought, the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is an added advantage that should place you in a realm above others as someone having the panacea. The Holy Spirit helps us to access solutions from the heart of God. When we hone our gifts like Daniel, we can point people to our faith in God as the source of the solutions we provide.
Is your curriculum vitae anything like Daniel's above? (Selah). His refined gifts had been proven so they spoke for him even in his absence. Joseph manifested his gifts when he not only interpreted Pharoah’s dreams but received wisdom for execution (Genesis 41:33-35). Everyday such meetings are held in different quarters; what will be said about you who is filled with the same Holy Spirit? Are you someone with competence or a mediocre? The choice is yours not God’s, remember creation is eagerly waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God and not their excuses. Pay the price in the place of discipline, prayer, trainings, gain knowledge and engage the Holy Spirit to birth solutions to problems.
*PRAYER
Father, I thank you for the gifts, treasures and true riches you have deposited in my earthen vessel. I receive Grace to harness and deploy them to solve problems and bring glory to You in Jesus Name, amen.
*CONFESSION
I have the mind of Christ, He has been made my Wisdom, therefore, I am a consultant to my generation.
In his interview, the streamer shared how he 'broke down in tears on stream' as 'the initial timer came up, I thought it was over'.However, he realised what was going on when one of the Jagex viewers posted in the stream chat "I might have cancelled the shutdown just for you." "I am very grateful to them for doing that for me," Titus explained. "Some people weren't happy about that because they thought I was getting special treatment."Others were happy because they could hang out with their friends on Classic for longer. The funny thing is, I was super flustered at the end there and trying to focus on what I needed to do to finish, and people were intentionally sabotaging me so the servers could run for longer."
