Ezra 6:14
So, the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the command of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Beloved,
To bridge the gap between what is and what must be, you need a prophetic voice over your life, Hosea 12:13. Find someone anointed that will speak regularly over your life. We see from our opening text that both work and prophecy need to be in place before any manifestation can occur. Carry out your work but do it according to prophecies. Do things that trigger the prophetic grace from the anointed to flow to you. Your life will be full of effort and not grace when you say you don’t need such divine linkages in your life.
To close the gap between where you currently are and where you must be, you also need faith. Believe in the God that declares a thing and it comes to pass. Believe in His divine ability to establish His plans for your life regardless of the passage of time. One major problem of humanity is the passage of time. Anytime time is passing, men cave in under pressure and they are unable to wait. You need faith for the future. Joseph was an adolescent when he had a dream that he would be a ruler over his brothers, but the manifestation did not come until he was thirty years of age. Your faith will sustain you from where you are currently to where you must be in the future.
Finally beloved, banish fear from your life. If you will take the future, then you must not be fearful. One of the characteristics of the future is the fear of tomorrow, fear of the unknown. Everyone is susceptible to this kind of fear, but you must put faith in place to guard against it. I want to see you moving to what must be in 2023, and as you utilize all these tools to your advantage, you will soon find yourself fulfilling God’s prophecy for your life.
I commit you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
