there are two animals on Earth that God identified himself with and these are two most important animals and there's a reason why apparently God identified himself with them because he created them these two animals are both leaders the first one is the eagle if you read the constitution of Heaven you call it the Bible you will find that throughout that document God keeps identifying himself with the eagle he never says that I am the bird of paradise he never said that I am a pigeon he only identified himself with this massive powerful bird called The Eagle you will find in the text of the Constitution words like this I will bear you up on wings like an eagle in another place God says of himself I like an eagle will stir my nest and I shall put you on my pinions Like an Eagle in another place God says and just like Like an Eagle only gathers around fresh blood even so the Lord will stir you he never identifies with the pigeon the second animal that God identified himself with is the lion the lion is also the leader of the Animal Kingdom so the eagle is the leader of the bird kingdom and the lion is the leader of the animal kingdom even though the lion is not the largest animal in the jungle he's not the most powerful he's not the most intelligent he's not the the biggest animal and yet the lion rules the jungle the lion is important because the lion destroys all of your excuses for not being the leader you don't need to be the biggest to be the leader you don't need to be the strongest or the heaviest or the most powerful or even the most intelligent and yet you can be the leader so the lion defies everything that they taught you about leadership and that's why God himself identifies with the lion he says I am the lion of Judah not the dog of Judah not the giraffe not the elephant of Judah he identified with this creature that he created and my question is why did God identify himself with these two animals so much the answer is because he put in these two animals certain qualities that make them different from the others and those qualities are identified as leadership characteristics and there are two words I want you to identify with these two animals the first one the lion is the word attitude the lion is the leader of the animal kingdom because of his attitude the lion has a deep sense of confidence and courage he's not afraid of the elephant or the giraffe he he eats the hippopotamus he he destroys the Bulls he he he somehow has this confidence that he can eat any animal no matter how big they are no matter how strong they are the lion has an attitude of self-confidence the eagle identify with the word Vision what makes the eagle dangerous is is God placed in the eagle a capacity in his eyes to see from a distance in detail the eagle is the only bird on Earth as a matter of fact he's the only animal on earth who can see 50 times better than a human the eagle can see 5 miles away in total detail Hill it's called Optica vision and that's why the eagle is the king of birds he he doesn't have to sneak up on his prey to destroy he can see the prey 5 miles away where the prey don't even know he's being seen and by the time the prey discovers he was being seen it's too late because the eagle shoots like a bullet the power of vision is the success of the eagle first let me define leadership again for you leadership is defined as the capacity to influence others through inspiration generated by a passion motiv ated by a vision which is birthed from a conviction produced by a purpose
