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

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
