MUST EAGLES BE SILENT?
Though outnumbered and oft-vilified, eagles in the land of chickens must speak out. For when Eagles are silent, noise is equated with wisdom, propaganda with truth, and gossip with gospel. Regrettably, Eagles in Chickenland are often silent because: they’re tired or feel it’s no use; their voices have been banned; they’re nursing their wounds (whether self-inflicted or by friendly-fire, opportunists, or vicious enemies); they feel it’s not safe (the air, water, & food have been poisoned, & many snares have been laid to entrap them); or they’re waiting for a better time. Though costly, the cause is too great for Eagles to remain silent! They betray a sacred trust if they don’t speak out; and they expose others to danger if they remain silent. How can they allow chickens to silence them, after the Lord has done so much for them? (2 Timothy 4:1-5; Ezekiel 33:6, 7; Judges 5:23; 2 Kings 7:9). No, Eagles must not be silent! They must speak out and speak NOW—through their words, actions, and sacrificial service.—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim.
