_May God's love be the foundation of our relationships. Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️💕_ _*Exhortation Pills: Command the Eagle’s Blessings, Part 3—Renewal and Transformation*_ _By Rev. Stephen Dadedzi_ _Day 45 (14/Feb/2025)_ > ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Isaiah 40:31 NKJV But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. The eagle is a powerful bird that can live long because it knows how to renew itself. At a certain stage, it faces a decision: to either grow weak and die or go through a painful process of transformation for renewed strength. In the same way, believers must embrace God’s renewal process to walk in His power and purpose. *1. Shedding old feathers:* As eagles age, their feathers become worn out, making it difficult to fly. To renew themselves, they pluck out the old feathers so that fresh, stronger ones can grow. Likewise, as believers, we must let go of old habits, sinful ways, and anything that hinders our spiritual growth. God calls us to put off the old self and be renewed in the spirit of our minds (Ephesians 4:22-24). When we surrender to this process, He clothes us with new strength to soar higher in faith. *2. Breaking the beak:* An eagle’s beak can become overgrown and weak, making it hard to eat. When this happens, the eagle strikes its beak against a rock until the old one falls off, allowing a new, sharper one to grow. In the same way, our words and mindset must be transformed through the Word of God. Many times, we need to break away from negative thoughts, wrong attitudes, and limiting beliefs to embrace God's truth. The Bible says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). True renewal happens when we allow God's Word to reshape our thinking and align us with His will. *3. Sharpening the talons:* As the eagle ages, its talons become weak, making it difficult to catch prey. During renewal, it scrapes its talons against a rock to make them strong and sharp again. Spiritually, we must sharpen our faith by spending time in prayer, fasting, and studying God's Word. A believer who neglects spiritual discipline loses the strength to fight life's battles. The Bible encourages us to “put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” (Colossians 3:10). When we stay connected to God, we regain spiritual power and authority. _🙏 Prayer:_ Father, I surrender to Your renewal process. Remove everything in my life that weakens me spiritually. Renew my strength, transform my thoughts, and sharpen my faith so I can soar higher in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. _⚠️ Are You Saved?_ Enjoy God's gift of eternal life by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart today.
