Acceleration - How To Catch Up On Lost Time | Pst. Shola Okodugha

Divine acceleration is God’s ability to cause a believer to move beyond natural limitations, recover lost opportunities, and arrive at God’s intended destination faster than expected. It is not merely about speed but about moving according to God’s light, direction, and purpose. Exodus 18:19 reveals the responsibility of spiritual leadership: to bring difficult matters before God and teach God’s people the way they should walk and the work they should do. Faith for acceleration grows as believers continually hear and understand God’s Word. Drawing from Isaiah 60:19 and John 1:1, Pastor Shola emphasized the relationship between light and acceleration. While natural progression has its place, God offers a higher dimension of progress where He Himself becomes our Light. The light available to a person determines the pace at which they can move. When God is your Light, He provides direction even in seasons of darkness and uncertainty. Many believers find themselves asking, “How long?” as seen throughout the Psalms. Yet Scripture repeatedly points to God’s ability to answer speedily. Divine acceleration is God’s provision for restoring and surpassing lost time. It is not merely recovery, it is advancement beyond where you would have been naturally. The message highlighted several reasons why people perceive God as slow: impatience, wrong understanding of God’s ways, incorrect expectations, lack of understanding of divine timing, and pressure from circumstances. However, God’s nature is light, and His desire is to bring His people into His purposes at the right time. Pastor Shola also taught that God operates through systems and principles. While grace is available, believers must understand the importance of obedience, readiness, responsibility, and alignment with God’s established laws. Faith does not replace divine principles; it works alongside them. One of the keys to acceleration is recognizing God’s patterns in your life. Past breakthroughs often contain clues for future victories. Through the example of Moses in Exodus 17, we see that God instructed him to use the same rod that had previously produced results. Sometimes God leads us back to proven principles; other times He provides fresh instructions. Wisdom lies in discerning His direction and obeying promptly. This Message Will Help You: Understand the connection between light, revelation, and divine acceleration. Recognize that God has made provision for recovering and surpassing lost time. Identify beliefs and mindsets that can hinder acceleration. Learn the importance of obedience, readiness, and following divine instructions. Discover patterns from past breakthroughs that can guide future progress. Build faith to trust God’s timing while moving diligently in obedience. Watch, reflect, and seek God’s light for every season. Remember His past faithfulness, follow His instructions carefully, and position yourself for divine acceleration beyond natural limitations.
