The Sharp Eagle’s Eyes

1. The Eagle’s Eyes
•
Eagle’s has very sharp eyes
Can see a small rabbit from a distance of 3.200 m.
For human to see such far distance we need a very strong telescope.

Can see a monkey among trees from a far distance.
Can see clearly because it has the ability to enlarge what it see up to 2 1/2x
Eagle’s sight can cover an area of almost 270 degree
•
Why an eagle can see sharply?
It has 2 Fovea (sensor / yellow spot).
So the Eagle can see 8 xs sharper than human eyes.
An eagle has a view that is far ahead, sharp and wide view.2. Important lesson to learn
•
We are also given by GOD 2 kinds of eyes, that are more powerful than the eyes of the eagle. These are the physical eyes and the spiritual eyes (Ephesians 1:18).
The physical eyes to see the physical things
The spiritual eyes to see the spiritual things. Example : can see the greatness and the love of GOD/ the truth of the Word of GOD etc. sp when we Praise/ we give, people who can see with 2 kinds of eyes will be different with people who can only see With their physical eyes. Example : David and Mical were very different in their view of praise.
•
What are the benefits if we can see using our physical eyes and our spiritual eyes ?
a. Can see far ahead .
We can be a person with Vision > can see 1/10/100 years ahead !!!
If we can see far ahead then we will have earnest struggle,
We will not be fooling around in our struggle
We will want to sacrifice to achieve the vision
This will eventually make us successful !!! Example : Our church since the beginning has already see that GOD would do great things in the ministry of our church, many people who are successful are visionary people
b. We will be calm and strong when faced with challenges before us
Because we can see behind the problems there is GOD who is always with us
We will also be able to see that behind obstacle there is a way that leads to blessing !!
c.We can see clearly .
Not only that we can see far ahead but we can also see clearly
There are some people who can see and some people who cannot see clearly/ spiritual eyes.
There are people who cannot see clearly will experience many losses and sorrow. Example: Esau who sold his birthright for a pot lentil soup, some people may sell their salvation just for Partner/job/position/money etc
People who can see correctly, will experience many benefits and be happy. Example : Sculptor Michaelangelo, Cell leader who can see his/her member having potential to open a new cell, Every department and business people/ all of us/ cell leader must be able to see what we can use to develop new breakthrough, that can bring great things.
What you can see, that is what you can get. Ask God to give you great vision !3. How we can have a sharp spiritual eye like the Eagle ?
•
The Eagle likes to see the good things
The Eagle likes to see the sun and likes to use its eyes to hunt during day time. During the night the eagle will stay still, because its eyes are 8 xs sharper than human eyes, but during night time, their eye is worse than us human.
In order for us to have a sharp spiritual eye, we have to use our eyes to see the good/ bright things, and not the evil deeds. Example : Whether we like to watch horror movies or we like to read the Word of GOD.
Because our physical eyes and spiritual eyes are interrelated )Math 6 : 22-23)
•
We have to guard and protect our spiritual eyes (Proverb 4: 23).
The Eagle’s eyes have a clear membrane called ”nictitating” which can be used to cover I its eyes but at the same time the eagle can still see (transparent). It is used to protect its eyes when there is storm, to catch its prey, also to protect against the hot sun shine.
It means we also need to have a shield of faith to protect our heart so that no bad things can enter our heart.
If we allow bad things to enter into our heart, then our spiritual eyes will not be able to see clearly (Luke 24:13-16)
•
We have to always cleanse our spiritual eyes
The clear membrane in the eyes of the Eagle is always used to blink every 3-4 second to cleanse the dirt that stick in the eyes.
We have to always cleanse/ throw away all dirt that stick into our spiritual eyes (Mathew 7:5).
•
To cleanse with the Word of GOD
The Eagle’s eyes discrete a liquid when it blinks/ cleanse its eyes, so the eyes are always moist and clean and are not hurt.
We have to cleanse our spiritual eyes with the living water that is the Word of GOD and the Holy Spirit so our spiritual eyes can be clean and healthy/ not hurt
John advises the Church of Laodicea in Revelation 3:17-18.
Example: When we are not treated well by others, if it is not cleansed with the Word of GOD and the Holy Spirit then it will cause deep hurt in our heart, however if it is cleansed with the Word of GOD and the Holy Spirit then our heart will stay clean and healthy !!
To clean the window of our car.
Testimony: I always enter my prayer room to cleanse the dirt that enters my heart with the Word of GOD and the Holy Spirit!!
Let’s learn to see with our physical eyes and spiritual eyes so we can have sharp eyes like the
