INTRODUCTION

Life’s battles, disappointments, delays, and spiritual storms can weaken even the strongest believer. There are seasons when the pressures of life weigh heavily on the wings of our faith, causing what once soared to suddenly lose height. Many today feel like their “eagle”: their vision, strength, favour, or destiny has grown weak or fallen. But the Word of the Lord assures us that no matter what has brought us down, God has the power to cause our eagle to rise again.

The eagle is a symbol of renewal, strength, resilience, and unstoppable ascension. When an eagle grows weary, it retreats to a place of renewal, sheds its old feathers, and emerges stronger with renewed wings. This powerful imagery reflects what God does for His children. No matter how low life has pushed you, God can renew your strength, heal your wounds, restore your glory, and launch you into higher realms.

Every believer goes through seasons of rising and falling, but the promise of God guarantees that falling is not the end. Your story will not end in defeat. God is committed to raising you again, restoring what was lost, and lifting you above every limitation. Your eagle shall rise again, by the power of the Almighty.

1. GOD IS THE RESTORER OF LOST STRENGTH

When strength fails and hope weakens, God steps in as the One who renews, restores, and empowers. He never abandons His own in weakness.

a) God Renews the Weary — Isaiah 40:29

He gives power to the faint and strength to the powerless. When your own strength is gone, God becomes your strength.

b) God Heals Broken Wings — Psalm 147:3

The Lord binds wounds and restores broken hearts. Whatever has crushed your spirit can be healed by His touch.

c) God Revives Fading Vision — Habakkuk 2:3

Delays cannot destroy divine vision. God restores clarity and brings visions back to life.

d) God Lifts the Fallen — Psalm 37:24

Even if you fall, you shall not be utterly cast down. God will uphold you with His hand and lift you again.

Biblical Example: Samson lost his strength, but as his hair began to grow again, God restored his power and gave him a final victory that was greater than all before (Judges 16:22-30).

2. GOD RAISES HIS PEOPLE AFTER EVERY FALL

Falling does not end your destiny. God specialises in rewriting stories and lifting His children from the lowest places.

a) Falling Is Not the End — Micah 7:8

Though you fall, you will rise. Darkness cannot bury a destiny that God has determined to lift.

b) God Sets the Steps of His Children — Psalm 37:23

Even when missteps occur, God orders the journey and ensures restoration.

c) God Delivers From the Pit — Psalm 40:2

He brings His people out of deep pits and sets their feet on solid ground.

d) God Restores Lost Glory — Job 22:23

He rebuilds broken destinies and restores dignity and honour to His people.

Biblical Example: Peter fell by denying Jesus, but Jesus restored him and raised him as a mighty apostle who shook nations (John 21:15-19; Acts 2:14-41).

3. GOD GIVES NEW WINGS FOR A HIGHER RISE

When God restores, He restores in a greater dimension. He does not just return what was lost — He empowers for higher heights.

a) Renewal Comes Through Waiting on God — Isaiah 40:31

Waiting is not wasting. It is the process where God re-feathers your wings for a greater rise.

b) New Strength for New Heights — Psalm 84:7

God moves His people from strength to strength. Your next rise will be stronger than your former heights.

c) Divine Empowerment for Soaring — Acts 1:8

The Holy Spirit empowers believers to rise beyond natural limitations and soar in divine strength.

d) God Opens New Realms of Breakthrough — Revelation 3:8

When old doors close, God opens new ones, leading His children into greater opportunities.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s destiny fell repeatedly, yet every rise was higher than the last — from the pit to Potiphar’s house, from prison to the palace (Genesis 41:40-44).

4. GOD MAKES YOUR RISING UNSTOPPABLE

When God rises for you, no force can hold you down. Your lifting becomes permanent, undeniable, and unstoppable.

a) God Is the Glory and the Lifter of Your Head — Psalm 3:3

He lifts your head from shame, delay, and stagnation, making your rising visible to all.
