ACCELERATE BY GOD’S HAND

Audio Version

• 1 Kings 18:46 – “Then the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.”

  There are moments in life when your human strength, intelligence, or network cannot take you further. You may have tried everything, and it seems like others have gone far ahead of you. That was Elijah’s situation. Ahab had a chariot—the advantage of speed, power, and status. Yet, in one defining moment, the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah and gave him supernatural speed that overtook what should have naturally outpaced him.

  This is a prophetic picture of what God wants to do in your life. Divine acceleration is not about striving harder but yielding to the hand of the Lord. The hand of the Lord represents empowerment, divine help, and extraordinary results. When God’s hand comes upon a person, delays are broken, progress is restored, and time is redeemed. What took others 10 years can happen for you in 10 days. What was delayed can suddenly happen now.

  Do not measure your life by the pace of others. Instead, ask for the hand of the Lord to rest upon you. That divine hand will give you new momentum, reposition you, and push you into your prophetic destination. Let your expectation rise today, because your season of supernatural speed has come!

  Start-up Prayer
  Father, in the name of Jesus, I receive the hand of the Lord upon my life for divine speed. Let every delay be broken, and let supernatural acceleration propel me into a new season

  Nation Focus: Dominican Republic
  The Dominican Republic, located in the Caribbean, is known for its tourism, agriculture, and vibrant culture. Despite notable economic growth in recent years, income inequality remains high, with over 20% of the population living in poverty. Corruption and weak governance continue to hinder development. Spiritually, the nation is predominantly Christian, yet there is a lack of deep discipleship and a growing wave of secularism, especially among the youth. Many churches are in need of revival, stronger leadership, and unity across denominations.

  Prayer for the Nation
  Father, in the name of Jesus, we declare a new season of righteousness and justice in the Dominican Republic. Let the fear of the Lord flood this nation and transform every sphere of influence.

  Prayer for the Leaders Oh Lord, raise up Godly leaders in this land who will rule with integrity and serve with wisdom. Let every seat of government be filled with men and women who honour You. [Pray in tongues for 1 minute]

  Prayer for Israel
  Father, in the name of Jesus, we declare peace within the walls of Jerusalem and prosperity within her borders. Cause Israel to flourish in every sector by Your divine favour.

  Prayer for Unity in the Church
  Oh Lord, bind the hearts of church leaders and members in love and purpose. Let unity be restored in the Body of Christ across nations, for greater impact.

  Prayer for Souls / Revival
  Lord, we ask for a mighty harvest of souls across our cities. Let hearts be turned to Jesus, causing revival to  break out in every street and home.
