SCRIPTURE: And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To survive in this world and to exist at the top, you need a brutal and aggressive fighting spirit.
It has been established that life is a fight. That is why you need a fighting spirit to succeed in life and in destiny. To rise and stay at the top requires warfare.
We can take a lesson in this from the life of the eagle. Now, a major characteristic of the eagle is that it flies and exists at 10,000 feet above sea level. And to achieve this feat, the eagle deploys a brutal, aggressive and violent fighting spirit. The eagle fights or deals with hyenas, snakes and other animals mercilessly.
One day, I watched how an eagle caught a big snake and started eating it straight from its head.
And you know the Scripture says,
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19.
So when you see the force, violence and mercilessness with which the eagle usually attacks other animals, you will understand that that is the reason why it is called the king of birds. You must also understand that to survive in this world, and to exist at the top, you need a fighting spirit like the eagle.
It is one thing to go up, but another thing entirely to stay up. This is because there are many forces of darkness that want you to fall. So, to survive in this world, and to exist at the top in life, you need a brutal and aggressive fighting spirit. You go up by fighting your way there and you maintain your height at the top by aggressive fighting.
Beloved, be determined never to approach life with timid gentility. It takes only the violent to take it by force. I decree the impartation of the fighting spirit on you today, in Jesus’ Name.
