Text: Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.


There is no way we can talk about the eagle without talking about its vision. The eagle has the best eyesight of all creatures on planet Earth. 


 It is not even a contest when compared to the eyesight of humans. Any of the 59 species of eagle on the planet will put a human's eyesight to shame. 


An eagle can see about 4 to 8 times better than a human being. It can locate a rabbit or any small creature 2 miles away while flying at a distance of 650km above the ground. 


Eagles do not generally suffer from  refractive error which include near-sightedness, far-sightedness, etc. and an adult eagle can clearly see fish in a river. 


While moving towards it's prey, the muscles in the eye will continue to adjust its focus naturally. Therefore, the distance between it and the prey doesn't change the focus at any time. 


An eagle can use each eye independently and have 340 degrees field of vision compared to our own 180 degrees. 


The images captured in an eagle's eye are of high resolution and color quality. They can even see in UV ray light which allows them to track the urine line of a prey. 


Unlike humans, eagles have 3 eyelids that protect their eyes. The inner eyelid is a translucent membrane that keeps the eyes protected from debris etc. while it's flying without affecting its acute eyesight. 


The eyesight of an eagle is so important that if it has any issue with its eyes, it is equal to death. This is because it won't be able to hunt. 


The eagle depends on the power of sight so much that it lacks acute sense of hearing, smell, and taste. So the scripture text above is so accurate that where vision is missing, people perish. 


From tomorrow, we'll glean practical lessons from the facts we've shared above.


"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision" ~ Helen Keller


Have a graced day...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
