Divine acceleration does not necessarily mean physical fast movement, for example; Abraham’s servant in Genesis 24:12 prayed to God for good speed (And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day and shew kindness unto my master Abraham).
Divine acceleration means;
Accomplishing a task faster than the human estimated time
Having a prosperous journey
Having a lightened-ful life; achieving everything effortlessly.
Getting your dues before you are due for it
Moving from nothingness to prominence
Moving forward and upward alone
Putting you in front before your turn
Increasing your strength and reducing your stress
Winning unfought wars- Psalm 44:1-3
Getting more reward than you worked for
Being favored where others labor
Just as it is;
1 Kings 18:43-45 where Elijah ran and overtook a fast-moving chariot.
Acts 8:39-40 where Evangelist Philip disappeared from Eunuch and appeared at Azotus (a different location).
1 Kings 17:12-16 Where last supper (a handful of meal and a little oil) became surplus
2 Kings 4:1-7 Where a pot of oil kept multiplying until all vessels were filled
Matthew 14:15:22, where 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes fed 5000 men, many women and children.
We all need divine acceleration, but there are some entanglements to divine acceleration.
DISENTANGLE TO DIVINE ACCELERATE
To be disentangled you need to;
1. Watch your weight: What are those things that can make you too heavy to run faster.
SIN: Either secret sins or open sins, sins retard. When we sin something in us dies. The origin of sin can be traced back to the chronicle of creation as recorded in the book of Genesis.
Sin separates us from God. ”but your sin has separated you from your God”
Sin is a barrier to the channel that leads to God. ‘The eyes of the Lord is too holy to behold evil’.
Sin impedes our creative powers. In God lie true creativity, innovations, and great ideas. ‘The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple’ Psalm 119:130. The Holy Spirit is the source of wisdom and knowledge in man. Those who live in the fetters of sin are void of the Holy Spirit of God and filled with the dirty spirit of Satan.
Sin steals away our creative power and leaves us with zilch. No wonder the bible notes ‘keep your heart with ALL DILIGENCE for out of it is the WELLSPRING of life’
2. Be obedient to God: Deuteronomy says,”if you listen to my words that I instruct you this day, you shall be ABOVE only and never beneath”. He that loves the Lord and walks in obedience to His Word shall enjoy great peace of soul and eternal happiness. Revelation 22:14. It is our obedience to God that shows how much we love Him, reverence Him, and our relationship with Him
Obedience is the major condition or prerequisite to receiving God’s blessings (Isaiah 1:1.9; Deuteronomy 28:1-2).
Disobedience is also one of the causes of defeat, failure, lack of success, suffering, and destruction – Isaiah19:20; 28:1.5.
Disobedience renders every good thing we do useless and unacceptable before God – (Isaiah.1:11-19; Amos 5:23; Acts 4:34; 5:9,10)
God demands PERFECT OBEDIENCE: God counts partial obedience as disobedience – I Samuel 15:1-4, 7-11, 22-23 – this is equated with idolatry, witchcraft, rebellion. Joshua, 1:8 – we must keep all his word if we want success & prosperity. Without perfect obedience, we cannot make heaven (Matthew 7:21)
God requires wholehearted obedience. Deuteronomy 26:1.6
God delights in obedience more than sacrifices, activities, and service. I Samuel 15:22
Examples of prompt & perfect obedience:
I. Noah – Genesis 6:22
II. Abraham – Genesis 22:1-3
iii. Moses – Exodus 40:3.9-21, 23, 25, 29, 32, 33; 39:42-43 with 34-35.
iv. BezaleeI — Exodus36:1
v. Joshua – Joshua 11:15
vi. Paul – Acts 26:19
vii. Our Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 5:8)
3. Be Humble: Pride and arrogance can retard our movement on earth. Luke 14:11, James 4:10, 1 Peter 5:5, Philippians 2:1-10
4. Decide your circle: Your association determines your acceleration in life. 1 Corinthians 15:33. Do a fresh evaluation of your circle of influence, are they helping you to achieve your goal or slowing down your progress.
Relationships are not neutral; your relationship with people either moves you forward or draws you back.
Any relationship that does not give you anything will take something from you. Some friends are addicted consumers; they consume your time, energy, finances, and even health.
Don’t waste your time on pointless relationships. Stop playing hypocrite, any relationship that is hindering you from accelerating in the right direction and fulfilling the will of God should be broken without apology. Friendship is by choice.
If your relationship does not satisfy God’s standards, break it or it will break you.
Don’t try to please or play along with friends that are retarding your movement, don’t lose your dignity trying not to appear contrary before people. In this season, the further mankind moves on the more dynamic it gets.
Information: If you know better you will do better. To run faster and go far, learn the rule so that you will not be ruined. Be inspired, read books, listen to tapes, attend seminars. Proverb 24:4,5. If you are not updated you will soon be outdated.
5. Value Times: Like sons of Issachar (1 Chronicle 12:32) whose strength is ‘understanding of time’, you must also understand, value, and know how to use time effectively. Maximize your time and your life to do all you have to do for God. Your life is packaged in capsules of time. You only have enough time for the main assignment God sent you here to accomplish for HIM.
