THE GOLDEN EAGLE


READ: PSALM 1:1-3
The Golden Eagle is another type of eagle. Gold symbolises prosperity. The Golden Eagle is prosperous because he has all the food he requires, in abundance. All he does is select what to each day. As a Golden Eagle, God wants you to prosper. Psalm 35:27 says God delights in the prosperity of his servants. Do not tell me I have to be poor as a servant of God. God has already made provision for you to be rich. Shun and reject poverty in all its entirety.
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 2).
God wants you to prosper. It is his delight. As a servant of God, you represent and bear his Name. If you prosper, it will bring glory to his Name because many people will then want to serve the God you serve, so that they too can prosper. This means that your prosperity can become a strong evangelical tool.
On the other hand, if you are poor and beggarly, you bring shame and disgrace to God. Many people look down on the poor. Even when you preach, some people may not want to hear. They will tell you if God can bless and prosper those who serve him; they want to see it first in your life.
An eagle is an eagle. Whether it is Royal or Golden, it remains an eagle. The eagle is the king of birds. A king is a ruler. A king is rich and honourable.
“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” (Proverbs 22:7).
You too are a king. You be in control. You should be wealthy. A king who is poor will be despised and humiliated. Ecclesiastes 7:12 says money, like wisdom, is a defence. So you must be rich, for God has made you king. You cannot afford to be poor. Stand up for your rights and possess your possessions.

MEMORIZE: 3 JOHN 2 –Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
