1 Kings 18:46 – “And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.”
There are moments when human effort alone cannot carry you into the place of destiny. You may have the skills, the plans, and the strategies, but without God’s hand, progress feels slow, frustrating, and delayed. Elijah’s story is a vivid reminder that when the hand of the Lord rests upon a person, ordinary limitations are shattered.
Picture this: King Ahab rode in a royal chariot pulled by strong horses—a clear advantage in speed. Yet, when the power of God came upon Elijah, he outran the king’s horses over a long distance. This wasn’t about physical stamina; it was divine empowerment. It was supernatural acceleration.
Many people today feel as though they are behind schedule. Maybe you’ve said: “By this age, I should be further along.” Or “I’ve lost too much time because of past mistakes, delays, or setbacks.” But hear this—when God steps in, He redeems lost time. He can cause you to cover in one year what others struggle to achieve in ten.
Supernatural acceleration is not a shortcut that bypasses process or growth. It is God breathing on your effort, multiplying your results, and propelling you forward in ways you could never manage on your own. Joseph spent years in prison, but in one day, God accelerated him to the palace. The disciples toiled all night catching nothing, but one instruction from Jesus filled their nets to breaking point.
Your season of delay does not cancel your destiny. God has a way of redeeming time so that nothing is wasted. The years the locust has eaten can be restored (Joel 2:25). That means wasted seasons, lost opportunities, and missed chances are not beyond His power to redeem.
Today, position yourself for His hand. How? By total surrender, by faith-filled obedience, and by trusting His timing. Don’t compare your journey with others—focus on the God who can shift your speed. When His hand rests on you, what held you back cannot stop you anymore.
Get ready: divine speed is coming to your life—speed in purpose, in finances, in relationships, in ministry, and in destiny.
Prayer Point:
Father, place Your hand upon me as You did upon Elijah. Redeem every wasted season and grant me supernatural acceleration in my purpose, career, family, and walk with You.
Declaration:
I walk in divine speed. By the hand of the Lord, I overtake every delay, recover lost time, and move forward into my destiny with supernatural acceleration.
