SEVEN LESSONS IN THE LIVES OF BIRDS


TOPIC: SEVEN LESSONS IN THE LIVES OF BIRDS.
TEXT: MATTHEW 6: 25-30

Jesus emphasized important of having faith in God just like birds they goes out by faith and God always takes care of them and Jesus asked if we are not more important than this animals. Worry, anxiety and fear are deadly weapon of the devil but the only antidote to these is your faith and trust in God. Roman 4:17.
We want to consider seven lessons in the lives of birds and these lessons are:

Birds make a joyful noise very early in the morning. Psalms 100. It is only the winning side that makes a joyful noise to God to praise and worship God for another brand new day.2Chron20:1-24, Psalms16, Acys16:25-26. There is power in praising God.
Birds’ lunches out daily in faith to search for food likewise us faith without works is useless and we must acts towards our expectation. We must always lunch deep for a great drought through God’s word and promises in our lives. Luke 5:1-8, Hebrew11:6, James2:20.
Birds depends on the wind to fly likewise we believers we should depend on the wing of the Holy Spirit to succeed in our business, career and ministry. John 14:26 and Romans 8:14-20.
The egg shell must be broken before emergence of new bird, for us to please God we must be broken. Brokenness is all about crucifying the flesh. Romans 6:1-6, John 12:24-26,  Ga 2:20; 5:24; 6:14|

Nothing can stop a bird of sorrow from flying except its wings are cut off likewise us trials and challenges cannot stop us as long we are alive because it is after the test that will brings testimony. 1 Corinthians 10:9-13,Romans8:31-39, 1Peter1:6-9
Birds understand time and season likewise us we must know the time we are now that is technology age and season for investment in any given opportunity.1 Chronicles12:32, Eccl 3:1-5.
The eagles. This is biggest, bold and courageous birds that even storm cannot stop its movement. It has a sharp vision in locating its prey and renewing its peak by hitting hard on a rock. For to be like an eagle then we wait upon the Lord and God will renew our strength. Isaiah 40:31.
   Eagle

(Herb. nesher; properly the griffon vulture or great vulture, so
called from its tearing its prey with its beak), referred to for
its swiftness of flight (Deut. 28:49; 2 Sam. 1:23), its mounting
high in the air (Job 39:27), its strength (Ps. 103:5), its
setting its nest in high places (Jer. 49:16), and its power of
vision (Job 39:27-30).
  This "ravenous bird" is a symbol of those nations whom God
employs and sends forth to do a work of destruction, sweeping
away whatever is decaying and putrescent (Matt. 24:28; Isa.
46:11; Ezek. 39:4; Deut. 28:49; Jer. 4:13; 48:40). It is said
that the eagle sheds his feathers in the beginning of spring,
and with fresh plumage assumes the appearance of youth. To this,
allusion is made in Ps. 103:5 and Isa. 40:31. God's care over
his people is likened to that of the eagle in training its young
to fly (Ex. 19:4; Deut. 32:11, 12). An interesting illustration
is thus recorded by Sir Humphry Davy:, "I once saw a very
interesting sight above the crags of Ben Nevis. Two parent
eagles were teaching their offspring, two young birds, the
maneuvers of flight. They began by rising from the top of the
mountain in the eye of the sun. It was about mid-day, and bright
for the climate. They at first made small circles, and the young
birds imitated them. They paused on their wings, waiting till
they had made their flight, and then took a second and larger
gyration, always rising toward the sun, and enlarging their
circle of flight so as to make a gradually ascending spiral. The
young ones still and slowly followed, apparently flying better
as they mounted; and they continued this sublime exercise,
always rising till they became mere points in the air, and the
young ones were lost, and afterwards their parents, to our
aching sight." (See Isa. 40:31.)
  There have been observed in Palestine four distinct species of
eagles, (1) the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)
