MANIFESTING DIVINE SPEED! - PART 1 - INTRODUCTION!...

 

 

“And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.” — 1 Kings 18:46 (KJV)

There are incommunicable attributes of God that emphasize the absolute distinction between God and His creation. His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence are some of these attributes. With these attributes, God oftentimes intervenes in the course of our lives to help us and also to fulfil His purpose in our lives.  It does not matter at what season we are in. Sometimes life seems to move at a pace that does not reflect the prayers we have prayed, the sacrifices we have made, or the preparation we have undergone. We have prayed. We have waited. We have worked. We have remained faithful. Yet, somehow, the results seem delayed.

What we need is the hand of God. There is a dimension of God's power that can change the speed of our journey. When God steps into a process, He does in a moment what human strength could not accomplish in years; obstacles give way, doors open, opportunities align, and long-awaited results begin to manifest with unusual speed. This is what we describe as Divine Speed. Divine speed is not merely running fast physically. It is the supernatural enablement of God that causes a person to accomplish, recover, advance, arrive, or experience in a short period what ordinarily might require a much longer time. It is God accelerating a process without compromising His purpose.

Our anchor passage in 1 Kings 18:46 presents one of the most remarkable pictures of supernatural acceleration in Scripture:

“And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah…”

It is obvious that Elijah's speed was connected to the hand of God. The Bible does not simply say that Elijah became stronger through human effort, but that the hand of the Lord came upon him. The supernatural hand of God enabled him to outrun a king who was travelling by chariot. This is significant because Elijah had just experienced an extraordinary spiritual victory on Mount Carmel. Fire had fallen from heaven, the prophets of Baal had been confronted, and the people had acknowledged the Lord as God (1 Kings 18:20–39). Elijah then prayed for rain after a prolonged drought, and God answered (1 Kings 18:41–45). Immediately after this, something unusual happened: the same God who had answered Elijah's prayer for rain also empowered Elijah to move with extraordinary speed.

God is still able and willing to fulfil His purpose in our lives. We can still lean on His promise: "A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time."(Isaiah 60:22). Our four-part series for the month of October “Manifesting Divine Speed”, focuses on a loving God that is with us on every part of our journey. He is interested in our affairs and can be trusted as we discover and fulfil destiny.

Join us this and every Sunday, as we explore the theme.

WORD DIARY: SATURDAY OCTOBER 3, 2026

 

#Dependable words!..

Jer. 23: 23-24 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the Lord, “and not a God far away? Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.

#Omnipresent God!

Jer. 23: 25-27  “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’ How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship.

#Deluding dreams!

Jer. 23: 28-29 Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. “Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

#Dependable words!

Jer. 23: 30-32 “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’ Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least,” declares the Lord.

Let us pray: Father God, we receive the grace to hear and proclaim your word in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather believe the deluding dreams of false prophets?

2. Would you rather believe the dependable words of God?

WORD DIARY: FRIDAY OCTOBER 2, 2026

 

#Beware of divine judgment!..

Jer. 23: 16 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.

#Reject false prophesies!

Jer. 23: 17-18 They keep saying to those who despise me, ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’ And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’ But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear his word?     Who has listened and heard his word?

#Reject false prophets!

Jer. 23: 19-20 See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down     on the heads of the wicked. The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly.

#Beware of divine judgment!

Jer. 23: 21-22 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways     and from their evil deeds.

Let us pray: Father God, we receive the grace to declare your counsel in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather listen to false prophesies and prophets?

2. Are you aware of divine judgment?

WORD DIARY: THURSDAY OCTOBER 1, 2026

 

#Desire godliness!..

Jer. 23: 9-10 Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones tremble. I am like a drunken man, like a strong man overcome by wine, because of the Lord and his holy words. The land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land lies parched and the pastures in the wilderness are withered. The prophets follow an evil course and use their power unjustly.

#Desire good course!

Jer. 23: 11-12 “Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness,” declares the Lord. “Therefore their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished,” declares the Lord.

#Desire godliness!

Jer. 23: 13-14 “Among the prophets of Samaria I saw this repulsive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray. And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that not one of them turns from their wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”

#Reject ungodliness!

Jer. 23: 15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets: “I will make them eat bitter food and drink poisoned water, because from the prophets of  Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”

Let us pray: Father God, we reject every spirit of ungodliness in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather desire godliness?

2. Would you rather desire ungodliness?

WORD DIARY: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

 

#Desire wisdom and justice!..

Jer. 23: 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,” declares the Lord.

#Care for others!

Jer. 23: 3-4 “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord.

#Gather the remnants!

Jer. 23: 5-6 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.

#Desire wisdom and justice!

Jer. 23: 7-8 “So then, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”

Let us pray: Father God, thank you for your mercy endures forever in the name of Jesus.

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather care for others?

2. Would you rather be selfish?

WORD DIARY: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 2026

 

#Cry for mercy!..

Jer. 22: 22-23 The wind will drive all your shepherds away, and your allies will go into exile. Then you will be ashamed and disgraced because of all your wickedness. You who live in ‘Lebanon,’ who are nestled in cedar buildings, how you will groan when pangs come upon you, pain like that of a woman in labor!

#Cause and effect!

Jer. 22: 24-27 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still pull you off. I will deliver you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians. I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. You will never come back to the land you long to return to.”

#Cry for mercy!

Jer. 22: 28-30 Is this man Jehoiachin a despised, broken pot, an object no one wants? Why will he and his children be hurled out, cast into a land they do not know? O land, land, land, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says: “Record this man as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper,     none will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in Judah.”

#Contend for deliverance!

Jer. 23: 1 “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord.

Let us pray: Father God, we receive the grace to steward our position of influence in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Have you offended God and man?

2. Have you pleaded for mercy and deliverance?

WORD DIARY: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2026

 

#Reject dishonest gain!..

Jer. 22: 16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the Lord.

#Defend the poor!

Jer. 22: 17 “But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion.”

#Reject dishonest gain!

 Jer. 22: 18-19 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’ He will have the burial of a donkey— dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

#Mind divine judgment!

Jer. 22: 20-21 “Go up to Lebanon and cry out, let your voice be heard in Bashan, cry out from Abarim, for all your allies are crushed. I warned you when you felt secure, but you said, ‘I will not listen!’ This has been your way from your youth; you have not obeyed me.

Let us pray: Father God, we receive the grace for obedience in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather have honest gain?

2. Would you rather have dishonest gain?
