READ: 1 Kings 19:15-21
“And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?” – 1 Kings 19:20
Speed determines if you will be anointed. There was no delay in Elisha’s response to Elijah. Elisha ran after Elijah! Elisha did not walk slowly when he was going to see Elijah. Elisha did not tell Elijah that he would call him later.
Speed determines whether you will be anointed. Elisha’s speed in responding to the call of God qualified him to receive the anointing. Elisha instantly turned away from secular work and slaughtered his valuable oxen. He instantly made himself jobless and ready for the work of God.
Today, many people delay in obeying the call of God. They hesitate! They will ask for a special meeting to discuss whether the call to ministry could be looked at again! They explain how they would have to do their Master’s degree and their PhD before answering the call of God! They put brakes on the call of God.
To catch the anointing you need speed. You need to put aside excuses. The anointing is the greatest thing you could ever have. The anointing does not wait for you. You must wait for the anointing. You must respond with speed. Speed is a determinant for whether people will be anointed or not.
“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother… And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw two other brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother…and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him” (Matthew 4:19-22)
