Direction
‘I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race… It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time’ Ecc.9:11
‘…being in the right place at the right time’. The Way is the most crucial part of acceleration. It would be futile to pride yourself as the fastest runner whereas in every race, you accelerate in the opposite direction, away from the finish line. What is the point of accelerating when you are heading in the wrong direction? ‘You may think you are on the right road and still end up dead’ Prov.14:12 [CEV]. Increased speed in the Read the rest of this entry
By My Spirit
‘Then He said to me, “This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies’ Zech.4:6.
It is important that as children of the Most High God, we take our Father’s Word to heart because it is always as He says it would be. How far you go and how high you climb will not be by your power, it cannot be by your strength, it will only be by the Holy Spirit. So let your prayer be ‘Lord have your way’. Acceleration only comes from God and can only be sustained by His Spirit. When you operate by the Spirit, all you will do is put Read the rest of this entry
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Barrier to Acceleration: Curses and Yokes
‘And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing’ Isa. 10:27[KJV]
Curses and yokes are barriers to acceleration. Curses can be on an individual or on an entire nation. Curses are spiritual and must be handled spiritually. There was a case where the whole nation was stagnated because of a curse, until the man of God came and reversed the curse [2Kings 2:20-22]. The barrier of curses must be reversed, lifted or broken in order to STOP its stagnating effect. When the curse is broken then acceleration can take place. Every curse that has been placed over your life and has Read the rest of this entry
Guard Your Heart
‘Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes’ Prov.7:2
Jesus instructs every Christian to watch and pray. In other words, guard your heart and guard your walk with God. Stay alert so you know how best to engage. This is also true in the face seeming challenges. For every challenge, the number one point of attack is your relationship with God. A number of people are deceived into thinking that the enemy is after their money, job, recently acquired status, or possessions. The truth is that the pressure and fierceness of the Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing Glory
‘Jesus responded, didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?’ John 11:40
Another reason why there are still people missing out on opportunities for the miraculous after healing and breakthrough services is unbelief. Unbelief is a major reason for lack of results. It might be hard to imagine especially since we know that God Himself says that ‘anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him’. Yet there are people who still do not believe God. It’s easy to look at Abraham and Read the rest of this entry
The Fire
‘Look! Nebuchadnezzar shouted. I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!’ Daniel 3:25
Fire is not without purpose especially in the Christian walk. The function of the fire varies, according to God’s purpose. It could be for refining purposes. Refining could translate to a number of things and not limited to cleansing, purifying, humbling, detoxing, and teaching. God could allow the fire in your life to accomplish any of these purposes. God reserves the right to prune the branch and His pruning tools are solely His choice. Say you have this habit Read the rest of this entry
Choose Light
‘For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!’ Eph.5:8
Today’s devotional is inspired by a story, a parable if you will; two young boys, Bob and James, cousins. Bob was born and has lived all his formative years abroad. He is accustomed to uninterrupted power supply, this is what he knows. James on the other hand, was born and has lived all his formative years in Nigeria. James knows what it is to go three weeks without power supply. And as the story goes, Bob and his father came to visit. At dinner on their first Read the rest of this entry
Access
‘…For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it’. Luke18:16b-17
Some people want to enter into the Kingdom and the abundance of God but are ‘too big’ to meet the requirements. Jesus says whoever wants to enter the Kingdom of God must come as a little child. In other words, entering the Kingdom means shredding every trace of pride, self-righteousness, self-sufficiency etc. For the Kingdom of God to manifest in your finances, Read the rest of this entry
It’s All in the Word
It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isa. 55:11
Once God speaks, the Word has enough in its self to bring to pass what God has spoken. God’s Word is potent. When you are standing outside your promise land staring in at the giants that are currently occupying it, what you want most is for God to send a mighty hand but God is sending His potent and timeless Word. The Word that is released to accomplish all that God has Read the rest of this entry
