INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, May 26, 2026 Topic: GRACE FOR SPEED (Part 3)! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel" - 1 Kings 18:46 KJV‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Acts 8:29-30 NIV‬ 29. The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.” 30. Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. INSPIRATION: "And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah;... and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel" Despising the hand of God upon your life or someone else's is to your own peril. That's literally making light the effect of God's anointing upon His anointed. You're simply limiting divine possibilities around you. A Psalmist said, "‭...therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy" (Ps. 45:7). The hand of God sets you above or ahead! The hand of God upon your life isn't only a sign of His approval, but also His backing and empowering grace. You can't run on God's grace and run out of gas; you can't run on His grace and not get ahead. Grace isn't just an equal opportunity leveler, it infuses into you what separates you from the crowd, it pulls you from the back and positions you where advantages can be easily accessed. Grace, can with an inexplicable speed, shoot you into limelight! TODAY'S TAKE HOME: ‭‭Speed in the direction of purpose is great, and that's why you need His grace to so do. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please cause Your hand to be upon me, that I may receive grace for speed; anoint me afresh with the grace of precision so that regardless my momentum, I would not miss my target. Lead me as I follow, Lord, in Jesus name.
