Accelerators – Part 1

The Lord gave His power to Elijah, who tightened his clothes around him and ran ahead of King Ahab all the way to Jezreel. 1kings 18:46 [NCV]

An accelerator is something that causes an object to increase in speed. In a car, there is a pedal called the accelerator which when pushed causes the car to accelerate. There are certain things that are accelerators that God must press in your life to cause you to accelerate.

1. Favour: For some it’s the absence of favour that has limited them. Your set time has come [Ps.102:13]. It was favour that made Jacob prosper despite opposition such that his wealth surpassed that of his employer. When God favours you, people around you will say it’s not fair. The truth is favour isn’t fair. God will show you enormous favour.
2. Name Change: Having the wrong name is the reason why some people have been held back. For others, their names are not necessarily bad, in fact they are good names but they do not match the great destiny God has for them. The right name would be the accelerator into our destiny. God will change your good name into a great name according to His purpose. A name that will speak the prophetic into you daily.
3. The Anointing: Being yoked together with the wrong thing means you can only move as fast as they can move. Some yokes are not necessary evil yokes, but they are just good yokes but God wants you to do great things. You cannot be connected to a good yoke when you have a great destiny. You won’t go further than good when you have a great destiny. That yoke needs to break ‘not by power, not by might but by the Spirit’ of the Living God [Isa.10:27].

‘So then [God’s gift] is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God’s mercy. [It depends not on one’s own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God having mercy on him.]’ Rom.9:16 [AMP].

Thought: Ask God to show you dumb founding favour; to give you a name that speaks of your prophetic greatness; to pour out fresh anointing overflowing in your life, in Jesus Name.
