THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (TUESDAY 24TH MARCH 2026)

“Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. 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.” 1 Kings 18:45-46 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 83RD DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORY

It’s a good thing to give thanks to the LORD after passing successfully through a night and resting to have our cells renewed.

Generationally, the night season for any part of the planet that turns away from the sun, has been God’s season of renewal of life on that part of the face of the earth. That is why it’s important that when we wake up, we kneel to say to Christ “thank you LORD for another New Day.”

It’s being daily intakes of the word through this platform since September 2015, God has been faithful. The Spirit of the LORD who is also known as the Spirit of Truth, has been feeding us with matters of both our prophetic and eternal destiny. Though it has not been easy, but it has been a great help to have Him speak to us daily. I don’t know about you, but I am very grateful to God and His Holy Spirit who made all that happen.

Indeed, God will not stop pursuing us with mysteries, or the revelation of who He is, because He wants to be revealed. God does not want to be concealed. That is why it pains His loving Heart when a preacher stands before a people to preach stolen, inspiring and motivational messages that did not reveal God to the people.

Cross-less and Christ-less messages are everywhere today, making no impact on the dying souls of men. The gospel is not being preached or demonstrated, it is rather been perverted and mutilated.

The gospel is to be accurately preached and demonstrated. God will not reveal Himself to His people until His word is accurately preached and demonstrated. But Satan does not want that because he knows if God is not revealed a lot about our divine destiny cannot be fulfilled because it is the people who do know their God that will be strong and carry out great exploits.

But we are in a great time of reformation, and the seasons are coming together. God is raising an army to preach the message of the Cross again and impact the souls of a perishing generation. There is an end of the Saul Era and the beginning of the David era.

YES, AN END OF ELI AND SONS AND THE BEGINNING OF SAMUEL.

Giants of moral decay, demonic influences and religious deception are being taken down by the LORD Himself. He is moving in the sick church, the dying world and the Islamic nations reaping souls into His kingdom. It’s important for all kingdom minded believers in Christ to see into the Spirit’s realm and sense what they need at this very hour.

I sense a release of divine acceleration for us in this season. People will be made to run ahead of time to catch up with the time they have wasted in false religion, in the systems of a sick church, the cruel hands of end time deception and all that does not glorify the LORD. The time they have wasted drinking oil, using sand to pray, using water to obtain deliverance and practicing all kinds of sorcery in the guise of prophecy.

Talking about divine acceleration, we are to walk with the LORD at a certain speed to accomplish these things. That speed is called divine acceleration. If we lack divine acceleration, time and chance will rob us of significant accomplishments and push us to the brink of giving up for not catching up with certain landmark achievements in Christ.

Personal mistakes of life and sins can be very costly to our divine destiny. For instance, Abram got one Ishmael from what we know today as the sin of Adultery, but then it was a ‘righteous’ tradition, and his destiny was altered severely. When God would meet him years later to request that he walk before Him and be perfect, time had gone.

He had to be placed on the wheels of divine acceleration so that the time he wasted on the Ishmeal mistake will not prolong the years appointed for Isaac to be born.

There are times we need divine acceleration so that we can fly along with a move of God, and recover lost grounds or time, and there are times we need divine acceleration to catch up with wasted years that were created by our not rising early in life to respond to destiny.

THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WE NEED DIVINE ACCELERATION TO KEEP TO GOD’S SCHEDULES FOR OUR LIVES.

There is the mystery of divine schedules, and we would like to refresh our minds on that one more time, so that we all perceive how much we need divine acceleration today. Understand that, from Biblical point of view, God originally scheduled everyone to come into the full moon of their prophetic destiny at 30 years of age, by stepping into it.

Jesus began to preach at 30, Joseph became leader in Egypt at 30, and David was king at 30. God in His plan designed that once you are thirty you should start unleashing your prophetic destiny.

In fact, in the Days of the Bible, people enter the priesthood at 30 years of age. The kingdom of God has 30 as the year of divine schedule for everyone. But for many this has not been through. Even our father Abraham never entered prophetic destiny at 30, he entered at 75. But God gave him divine acceleration to run his course and finish well.

If you have also missed your schedule like he did, there is help for you. Divine acceleration is that help. Beyond any dispute, understand that the grace of divine acceleration will be needed to catch up with certain things in your life. It will be needed to walk with the God because of where He operates from.

Another reason for divine acceleration is this, God operates from a realm where there is no time. Each time He wants to execute certain redemptive purposes you find Him plugging those He may be working through to the grace of divine acceleration. He does that so that time can align with the speed of what He is doing in eternity.

For instance, when eternity had appointed the Ethiopian Eunuch for salvation, and a redeemed man was needed to reach him. Philip the Evangelist was found and plugged into this grace to execute the assignment. That opened the door for the for the gospel to be preached in Africa.

THE FOOTPRINT OF THAT EVENT IS STILL IN ETHIOPIA TODAY.

As we bring this to a close, understand that God wants you and I to be busy for His end time moved. There is going to be a great harvest of souls in our age and time through reformation is foretold by Bible prophecy. Divine acceleration will be necessary for this harvest. A Major highlight in our devotional text this morning says,

“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.” That is Divine Acceleration. Time for the hand of the lord to come upon you.

Yes! Time for the hand of the LORD to come upon you! You will remain stagnant in life until that happens. Come to think of it, you do not kill stagnancy by giving sacrifice to some prophets, apostles or prophetess. You kill stagnancy by the grace of divine acceleration.

The Bible made it clear that God want to do a quick work in our age and time and cut things short in righteousness. His outreached hands have been positioned to be placed on people. May you be one of them. When that happens, you will see yourself advancing with God at a fast supernatural pace- taking over and recovering all the time you have wasted doing the wrong things.

What are we saying this morning? Your Christian life this end time will need the hand of the LORD upon you so that you can run ahead of time and catch up with the schedules you missed in life and still fulfill why you were born at such a time as this. It will need the hand of the LORD to help you recover the prophetic schedules of God that you missed.

Yes, the schedules you missed while serving the wrong Church, preacher or people. The schedules you missed while pursuing what God designed to pursue you. The very schedules you missed due to Biblical illiteracy or other factors. God sent this word to let you know that He wants you to catch up with His prophetic for your life.

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY;

“I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.”

“My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery].”

“Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalms 139:14-16 AMP
