EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE: TO BE EITHER A THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT!
“. . . 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself . . .” Exodus 19:3-6.
To AUGUST YOUR WORLDS BY THE WORD OF FAITH IS TO DETERMINE THE ATMOSPHERE YOU WANT TO SEE AND ENJOY DAY BY DAY IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD.
It is in your hands and within your power to choose whether to be a THERMOMETER that merely reads the temperature of the atmosphere around it, or to be a THERMOSTAT that sets for the environment the atmosphere and conditions it will allow..
You can either govern your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH or be governed by the CIRCUMSTANCES and PHILOSOPHIES of this world — just as the Apostle Paul warned Timothy about exposure and influence. 1 Timothy 1:1-20
The word AUGUST means admiration, inspiring reverence, supreme dignity, grandeur, majesty, venerability, eminence, and lordliness. To AUGUST is to be dignified, revered, admired, majestic, eminent, venerable, grand, and more.
Jesus has lifted you from the pit to the palace. He has brought us out of the miry clay to His banqueting table, and His banner over us is LOVE.
It is not enough to know it. You must actualise it into reality. That is where THE WORD OF FAITH comes in.
You can either live by assumptions, presumptions, and self-made notions, or by THE WORD OF FAITH.
I urge you to August your path as a THERMOSTAT, so that you may have and enjoy the fullness of God in life and godliness.
Give it some thought and be richly blessed in God’s blessedness, in Christ Jesus’ stead.
Be a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER, to August your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH.
It is in your hands to COLOUR your spheres of operation and life exploration COLOURFULLY; and thereby THRIVE and FLOURISH, REFRESH and BLOSSOM, REJUVENATE and GLOW — knowing that those JUSTIFIED before God by Christ Jesus shall LIVE by his FAITH. Romans 5:1-2; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 11:1-3
It was by THE WORD OF FAITH that Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born, to fulfil in him the promise that he would be the father of many nations. Romans 4:17-22; Genesis 12:1-5
It is by THE WORD OF FAITH, acting as a THERMOSTAT and not as a THERMOMETER, that you determine what you want to see and experience in life.
You too can do the same, as the Apostle Paul also declares in the Holy Scriptures:
“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK.” 2 Corinthians 4:13
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped) by THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:3 AMPLIFIED.
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 8:8-13.
“But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
“For WHATSOEVER is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a KINGDOM of priests, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.
“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.
SUMMARY:
This message presents a prophetic charge for the month of August. It calls believers to consciously choose to AUGUST their lives by living as a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER. To AUGUST means to live with admiration, dignity, majesty, eminence, and lordliness, reflecting the life God has called you to.
KEY POINTS:
- The Divine Position: Carried on Eagles’ Wings
God reminds His people of how He delivered Israel from Egypt and “BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you untomyself” Exodus 19:3-6.
This establishes identity. You are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people 1 Peter 2:9-10. You have been lifted from the pit to the palace, from the miry clay to God’s banqueting table, and His banner over you is LOVE. Knowing this is not enough. You must actualise it into reality.
- The Choice: Thermometer or Thermostat
The central illustration is this:
- A THERMOMETER merely reads the temperature. It is governed by circumstances, philosophies of this world, and the atmosphere around it.
- A THERMOSTAT sets the temperature. It determines and governs the atmosphere by THE WORD OF FAITH.
You have the power in your hands to choose which one you will be. To AUGUST your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH is to determine the atmosphere you want to see and enjoy day by day in Christ Jesus’ stead.
- The Instrument: THE WORD OF FAITH
You can live by assumptions, presumptions, and self-made notions, or you can live by THE WORD OF FAITH.
Scripture proves this principle:
- The worlds were framed by THE WORD of God. Hebrews 11:3
- Abraham received Isaac and the promise by THE WORD OF FAITH. Romans 4:17-22
- “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN” 2 Corinthians 4:13
- Salvation, righteousness and calling upon the Lord all come through THE WORD OF FAITH in your mouth and heart. Romans 10:8-13
Faith is what overcomes the world 1 John 5:4-5, and without faith it is impossible to please God Hebrews 11:6. Those justified by Christ shall LIVE by his FAITH Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38.
- The Application
I urge you to AUGUST your path as a THERMOSTAT.
When you do, you COLOUR your spheres of operation and life exploration COLOURFULLY. As a result, you will THRIVE and FLOURISH, REFRESH and BLOSSOM, REJUVENATE and GLOW.
This is how you enjoy the fullness of God in life and godliness.
Closing Charge
The choice is yours. Will you be governed by circumstances, or will you govern your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH?
Be a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER, to AUGUST your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH.
