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: Un-confessed Sin
‘People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy’ Prov.28:13.
To ensure that God’s Word of acceleration manifests in full in your life, it is important to know and deal with every obstacle that attempts to impede your acceleration. With cars, there is the barrier of suspension. When it is lifted, the two front tires of the car become suspended. No matter how hard that car accelerates, there will be no change in position until that barrier is removed. God will deal with and remove every of such Read the rest of this entry
His Protocols
‘Do not come any closer, the Lord warned. Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground …When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God’ Ex.3:5; 6b
God has His protocols. The key to maximizing your time with God is understanding the protocol of His presence and the protocol of His power. Access to God is one thing, and approaching Him is a totally different thing all together. The protocol of His presence and power are intertwined but can be separated. God in His word outlines the code of behavior for approaching the King of Kings. Make the most of your access into His Read the rest of this entry
It’s Your Choice
He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel. Psalm 103:7
‘The LORD said to Moses, Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants. And I will send an angel before you… Go up to this land that flows with milk and honey. But I will not travel among you…’ Ex.33: 1-3. Regarding the people of Israel as well as to you and I today, God said and is Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing His Face
‘Then the LORD came down in a cloud and stood there with him; and He called out His own name, Yahweh’ Exodus 34:5
Seeking the Face is experiencing the presence of God. Really when you seek His face, you will find fullness of joy in His presence and discover His right hand which has pleasures for evermore. God will work amazing miracles in our lives by His hand but let us seek His presence. And walk in an increased measure of His presence that you carry. It comes by hunger, you must desire His presence. When you seek His face you get access into His presence. God’s presence comes with responsibilities. It demands that Read the rest of this entry
Approaching God
‘But Joseph [first] shaved himself, changed his clothes, and made himself presentable; then he came into Pharaoh’s presence’ Gen.41:14b [AMP]
Having access to someone is one thing; approaching the person properly is another thing entirely. Yes you have access to God by the Blood of Jesus because you are under the new covenant but unfortunately that is not all it takes. It is just access. Imagine having access to the president of Nigeria; access means you can walk into his office in Aso Rock. Then what happens? The fact that you have access does not guarantee that Read the rest of this entry
All Is Well
‘Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips’ Ps.141:3
A certain woman gave up her resources to one of God’s servants. He was moved by compassion and sought to meet any need she had. So the man of God did some research and discovered that the woman did not have a child. And he placed a demand on Heaven for a child for her. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availed much; she conceived and had a son who brought joy to the family. Out with his father one day, the boy suddenly takes Read the rest of this entry
Governed By His Principles
‘Abel also brought a gift – the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift’ Gen.4:4
We all have questions such as why there are still people who do not get healed or experience breakthrough after healing and breakthrough services. One of the reasons is that you need to submit to God as the Sovereign God. If you understand the dynamics of the Sovereignty of God, you will realize that it is not to paralyze us. Look at it this way, God does not rule the earth through His Sovereignty. God rules the earth through His principles, His laws. Through His Read the rest of this entry
Understanding Sovereignty
‘But even if He doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up’ Daniel 3:18
The Sovereignty of God is something Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego understood so well. God is Sovereign; He can choose not to deliver us because He is God. This is an aspect a lot of Christians do not understand about God. You have heard a lot of faith preaching that attempts to rubbish the Sovereignty of God. God is Sovereign; He can choose to fold His hands and watch. Does that change the fact that He is God? Not at all and everything He does is in Read the rest of this entry
God Thirsts
‘…I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink…’ Matt. 25:35
God thirsts – amazing right? Jesus said ‘I thirst’ when He was on the cross, scripture records that He said this in fulfillment of prophecies. Jesus said these words perhaps also because it was significant of what is important to the Father. As we have observed that Jesus spent His dying moments stressing things of utmost importance. To thirst is to desire, to crave; Desire and craving are words that suggest a very strong emotion. You thirst for what is deeply Read the rest of this entry
