INTRODUCTION:
source
There are three main generations in every century (that is, a period, time space of one hundred years). 1. Outgoing Generation, 2. The Happening / Eagle Generation, and 3. The Upcoming Generation.
I like to speak on the Eagle or Happening Generation, forlstrongly believe that this is where everyone in this Summit belongs. The eagle is a rare bird, a fighter, a predator generally referred to as belonging to a special class known as the "aves" -it is not easily come by. You, as a Christian youth, must see yourself as special, uncommon, very rare with a divine mandate or purpose that no creation can frustrate or stop. The knowledge ofthis fact will influence you on every area in life your commitment to God, your choice of friends, and so on and so forth. Do not be ignorant of your identitywho you truly are. Apostle Paul knew himself. In Acts 21: 39, he said, ”I am a man, ...Jew of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city..."
If you are meant to function like an eagle, but you start to behave like a chicken, you are disobeying God, committing sin, and God cannot be happy with you. It takes a change of your attitude to reach a higher altitude. This message will quicken you to soar to the top of your world, instead of picking pieces of left-over food in the company of chickens and courting the friendship ofgiant turkeys.
As it is with every eagle set free from a cage, I see you re-anointed, becoming fired with DESIRE to soar. You will actually practise the act of SOARING, your eagle will take off, never return to the level of chickens and giant turkeys, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

7 MARKS OF YOUR EAGLE GENERATION:
As a Christian academic, you must be characterized by the following:
- VISION:
source
As the king of birds, the eagle sees beyond and above other birds. What a lion is to the animal kingdom, the eagle is to the kingdom of birds. It's dominion and area of authority, as it rules and reigns over other birds, is the sky, not the ground. Every eagle knows this, and every eaglet is taught this lesson. Without this consciousness,
the eagle cannot excel, as it will be living below God’s purpose. It is this vision of God's mandate that causes the eagle to take a giant stride of extreme flight, without which it cannot occupy its throne up there and rule as the king of birds.
A vision can make or mar you. A Godly vision will enthrone you. I have never heard/seen a blind man made the king of those who can see. With your sight in place you will not be the king ofonly the blind!
Sight ofan eagle -360°
An eagle can survey about 240 acres of land from 20,000 meters above the sea level, and from this height can sight the smallest lizard and pick it, accurately, at will. If an eagle, without a soul, with less and inferior brain knows its place and functions from there, why not you who God has made the god of this world? Ps. 82:6? In Mount Dotan, God charged Elisha's servant and enabled him with a new vision in 2 Kings 6:17ff. Isee God give you a better sight and insight today.
SOARING:
source
God gives grace to man to function without struggling or stress. Hitherto, you have watched some other fellows excel. As from now, your world will stare at you with awe as you excel. God, through His grace upon you will change your position. Your great desires, prayers, staring at other successful people, applauding them, waiting, complaining, restlessness, clamoring and complaining, will be addressed. You have lived with people of your co-equal, or those who belittle you. As from now, your status will change for the best. Your challenges shall be too little to stop your ascension. The eagle soars anytime it is tired of living below its beak or playing with chickens and giant turkeys. Today, I stand as the Oracle of God, and empower you for continuous promotion, in the name of Jesus Christ. When your promotion is due, or when you ought to leave a level to a higher one, you will no longer find it difficult, in the mighty name ofJesus Christ. Amen.STRENGTH:
source
An eagle is a strong bird. Its wings, flights and determination will always defeat strong winds. Aircrafts may jerk in turbulence, the eagle has the mastery of the stormy tide. The eagle, with its superior strength exercises dominion over all aerial attacks. It tames the wind with its superior wings. He celebrates right inside the storm. No storm can crash its flight or cause it to lose direction. It has a special spectacle that protects its eyes against hard objects which kill other birds. So, an eagle humiliates the power of the air, ridicules its oppressors, and moves ahead to its desired destination. Isaiah. 54:17,17; Eph. 6:10; 2 Tim. 2:11; IJohn 4:4, and other scriptures make us know that with the strength of God, we can overCome attacks and weapons of Satan. You belong to the eagle generation, the happening generation, the generation of spiritual power (of God). The arm of flesh will fail you.
It failed Goliath of Gath. It has never, and can never defeat the power of God. The eagle is accustomed to yearly renewal of its strength. This is one reason a programme like this is vital for your eagle to excel. As youjourney ahead in life, the power ofGod will keep you in victory, in the name ofJesus Christ. Amen.FOOD: The eagle is a predator, a bird of prey. So, it eats flesh. Unlike the vulture that feeds on dead flesh, the eagle hungers for, hunts and kills its own prey. That is why eagles are predators while vultures are scavengers. A vulture is bald-headed because it eats from carcasses of dead animals, whose bones peel off or remove the feathers on the vulture’s head. The eagle maintains the feather, beauty or crown on its head because it does not feed from the carcasses of dead animals. Just like nothing will cause a goat to eat raw flesh, so also an eagle does not have appetite for stale or rotten flesh. Regardless of the depth of hunger, the eagle hunts for and kills its game/prey. This is one reason it is very strong and powerful. And this is also why it can soar above the vulture, and lives longer. Run away from sin and embrace holiness.
TRAINING: Read Deut. 32:11,12
source
Eaglets are hatched, but eagles are made. Every eaglet is born with full potentials to become an eagle. However, without training and taming, it may develop into another specie and at its best, a shadow of its true self. Therefore, a good training makes a good eagle. Nourishment, nurturing, tendering, fostering, exercising and rigorous training, are normal for an eaglet that will become a great eagle.
To decide to gobble with giant turkeys or remain with an ostrich or duck for life is to waste a royal destiny for a bird that is aerial bound.
Can you compare your analytical ability as a well-trained, educated professional with that of your chronic, amateurish colleagues in the same field?
*Moses was trained for 80 years because of a 40-year mandate.
*Joseph was trained in inconvenient environments
*David was trained in the wilderness with carnivorous beasts and rough weather.
*Training of young eaglet ~from nest to bare stone, the mother eagle stirs the nest; flutters and broods over the eaglet to protect it for a while; then spreads abroad her wings to bear the eaglet to prevent it from falling during flight and training. At the final stage, the mother eagle lets the eaglet off from its Wings
Watches it struggle, but before the eaglet lands on any hard object or on the sea, the mother eagle's wings are under it to convey the eaglet up again. This process is repeated again and again until the eaglet will be used to eagle's flight and soaring
-Do not ignore training. Equip yourself with 21st century information
-Do not be in a hurry to jump training. Complete your courses
- CONQUERING SPIRIT: Read Rom. 8:35ff
Rom. 8:37, "Nay in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us".
Hold fast that which you have received. The eagle does not give up the truth. It does not, for whatever reason, compromise its visions or targets.
An eagle dies sometimes forthis, say when it wants to pick heavier preys, like a whale, and it refuses to give up. It is stable in faith. It is an encourager it does not miss or give up its target. May the LORD perfect our conquering spirit today. When the road is rough, it is only the tough one that walks through. You will not walk alone. God will walk with you. You will not be frustrated. You will not fail. You will not faint, you will not falter. You will be fulfilled on every side.

- HABITATION: The eagle loves the top. It loves heights. Itlives on mountain tops, and where there is no high mountain, the highest possible tree. While heights frighten other birds, the eagle loves to remain atop. Your real home address as from now shall be 'the top'. As the mountain top is to the eagle so is the kingdom of God to a true Christian. Ephesians 2:6 says, ”God has raised us up together with Christ and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus"
This is also the message of Psalm 91 you abide in the secret place of God. You, as an eagle, are not easily accessible to Satan, our adversary. You are preserved unto the heavenly kingdom, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
CONCLUSION
May no one attend this Summit in vain. May you be fully equipped for destiny realization. You are configured by God to make better things happen in our generation and reach the zenith of your callings. May your portion in God's agenda forthis let century be fully maximized. May you rapture with Jesus Christ when He comes for His Church soonest, in Jesus' wonderful name. Amen.
