As I write to you, I am coming off a very busy week. Last week I spent a lot of time closing out things from the second quarter. Also, I took time to look over my goals, have a conversation with one of my mentors and check my third quarter strategy. We are in the second half of 2018 and I hope you are prepared. Goals mean nothing unless you attach plans and strategies to them. While we are still in the first few days of the third quarter, I advise you to look over your plan, develop your strategy and execute on your goals. You must be very intentional about your success. Make every moment count and remain committed to greatness. At the end of September, it will be very clear those that were taking action and those that were procrastinating.
Have you been in cycles of doubt and unbelief? Has your faith been wavering? Will you dare to develop relentless faith? It is easy to talk faith when everything is going well in your life. However, the true test of your faith is when you find yourself in times of turbulence and crisis. When storms hit our lives we often discover that our foundations are not as stable as we thought. Why do I say that? All it takes is a little adversity to make most people abandon the assignment. We want perfection conditions in order to fulfill the prophetic call. However, the moment we hit uncertainty in our lives we become unglued. We allow the three-dimensional world around us to dictate the direction of our lives. This is an indication that you are in a cycle of doubt and unbelief. You should never base your life on conditions when you should be building your life on the covenant promises of God’s word. Delays should never have the power to alter what has been destined for your life. Stop looking through the eye of your circumstance and start seeing through the eye of faith. Doubt and unbelief want to make your faith inoperative.
Most people are not going to be honest. However, I will be honest for you and say that your faith has wavered at one time or another. The promise God gave me many years ago was exciting. However, I also knew that the promise would require me to endure a process. What I did not know was just how long that process was going to be. We get so excited about the manifestation but we forget that God has to make the man before the mandate can be accomplished. Ambition always causes us to think we are ready for what we have not been processed to. In your current state, you do not have the capacity to sustain the magnitude of the assignment on your life. However, as you go through development you are prepared to step onto the stage and manifest your greatness. We waver because we look at the continuum of time. However, God sits outside of time and governs from eternity. In fact, I want to help you understand something right now. You are not waiting on timing to fulfill your purpose. Essentially, God is waiting on maturity for you to step into the manifestation of that which you have been called to do. Development is the process by which God works out of you that which is not part of His will for your life. When you have matured you can then move into manifestation.
I know I sound really deep and profound now. However, everything I have shared with you is what I have learned on this journey. Every single day of my life is a faith walk. Adversity, turbulence, crisis, pressure ,and development have produced relentless faith in me. Relentless faith is a faith that is persistent, progressive and prevailing. Ultimately, relentless faith is a faith that does not let go until the promise is obtained. Too many people die right at the threshold of breakthrough. However, these are those that have little strength and undeveloped faith. Your faith cannot be developed without trials. We have a generation that wants to be promoted without pressure. You must understand that how you handle seasons of adversity determines the season of your advancement. The development of your faith requires steadfast endurance. Endurance builds resilience within you. Resilience causes you to become relentless in your pursuit of that which has been promised for your life. Relentless faith does not give up at the door of breakthrough. Relentless faith seizes the breakthrough!
In closing, I am seeing God do some incredible things in my life. I’m seeing answers to prayer, divine reversals, acceleration and increase in a way that I have never seen it before. This is the greatest hour for the Kingdom. I’m challenging you not to settle but to be relentless about your prophetic destiny. God is expecting you to end up somewhere. That means you have to have strong faith to see the fulfillment of your promise. Refuse to be moved by your emotions or your environment. Stay rooted in the eternal truths of the Word of God. Dare to cultivate relentless faith!
