The Spiritual Golden Eagle

The golden eagle is a bird of rare beauty. These creatures, wild though they may be, possess many of the qualities we most respect in our fellow humans: speed, agility, independence, and strength. But what else can we learn from contemplating this great bird? How can observations of nature help those who desire to follow the path of Jesus Christ?

The Spiritual Golden Eagle presents the bird as a metaphor for how we, as Christians, should aspire to live. Unlike the eagle, human beings are not created with the physical wings. Instead, we must seek, strive, and develop the spiritual wings we need to soar to our highest heights and reach our greatest potential to become our best selves.

Minister Emmanuel Ilori believes that God shows us new ways to please him through careful consideration of his creation. Using the example of the golden eagle, Emmanuel encourages and empowers believers amid their struggles to reach the lofty spiritual heights that God wishes for us all.
