Hibernate For A Flight Like The Eagle - 2

(Please take time to read "Hibernate for a flight like the Eagle - 1)

Isaiah 60:8
Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

Your smooth flight is as a result of the the level of light you have and your preparedness before flight; just like the Eagle, you need to hide yourself from time to time in order to emerge more colorful and fly higher than you already do.


Isaiah 45:15
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour .

1 Samuel 19
David hid himself from Saul and kept building himself for his purpose.


Failure does have an adverse effect on the human mind; it traumatizes its victim, leaving its victim emotionally handicapped. Failure is a situation that either launches you into your destiny or leaves you in the dungeon of depression and unaccomplishment, depending on how you view it. Everyone at some point will certainly fail, fail not to remain a failure but to hibernate for a higher flight and greater accomplishments.

Proverbs 24:16
The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.


There is time for everything, and that includes a time to build up for a higher flight. It is impossible to make a difference in life  and rising to a higher level without hiding yourself to build up. God's design for failure is that each time you fall, you hide yourself to come up higher and shine more gloriously in your field of endeavor. It takes a man or woman of great courage to emerge stronger after a period of set back and darkness, but its accomplishment is in hibernating and getting enlightened in your area of endeavor. Those who emerge high flyers are those who transcend the limitations posed on them by the society, looking past the oppositions and seeing into the future; those who invest their time in acquiring more knowledge, building their strength in the Lord, acquainting themselves with those who have excelled in their area of endeavor. It is certainly not for those who resign to the norms and beliefs of the society or those who spend their time and energy on low-minds, mockers and emotionally dysfunctional people who abhor success by their deeds and utterances.

It is much easier to stop where you experience difficulty after a little or no accomplishment, perhaps turn back and return to zero level, than it is to keep the courage and stay away from the many activities that suck up the little strength you have left and hide yourself to launch forward. As much as God is determined to see you to the end which is always more glorious than when you began, the devil and anti-success forces keep reinforcing different devises to stop you; it is expedient that you keep the focus regardless of the challenges you face and keep building up in order to emerge better and soar higher. When the enemy strikes, it is not because you are not doing something right, it is only a channel through which God brings you to the point where you'll be alone with Him and acquire more strength for a beautiful flight.

Philippians 3:12-13
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.



Those who desire to make history or leave a mark in the sands of time never get satisfied with their accomplishments, they push forward as though they have never tasted success. They take their minds off their accomplishments knowing that they can do better; they build a solid foundation with the stones thrown at them to stop and discourage them, knowing that, like the Eagle, they need a rock to take off for a higher flight. God wants His creatures to get better and end up more glorious than when they first started, His will is for us to shine in this world and reveal his glory wherever he plants us.

Isaiah 60:17
For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron.....


God would never make a promise that He cannot keep; It is left for that one who desires to walk in the glory made available by God to get enlightened and work hard enough to radiate the glory of God. Let me reiterate, your smooth flight is as a result of the the level of light you have and your preparedness before flight. The more light you have, the brighter you shine, the more strength you acquire by virtue of the knowledge you have about God, the higher you fly. Never let failure impair your movement to the next level, never let one moment of darkness prevent you from trying again. 

Isaiah 9:10
The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.


Looking beyond your present situation and seeing the possibility of a more beautiful end gives you a fresh drive to accomplish what you see. The bricks are fallen down........but....will be built with hewn stone, hewn stones are stronger and of better quality to build with; cedars appear stronger and more beautiful than sycamores. Your enviable flight begins within the mind; those who have the mind-set to look past the challenges, the stumbling blocks, etc., eventually make it to their glorious destination. Challenges for some people serve as catalysts that catapult them to their destiny, while for some it serves as an excuse to remain on one spot, even if it means being a failure. Stay courageous, stay focused and you'll inevitably reach your glorious destination.
