Pass the Test
Most people have great dreams but they fail to achieve them because they despise small beginnings. You will never attract increase consistently in your life until you realize that it is in the small details of life where victory is won or lost.
David was chosen to become the king of Israel after the Holy Spirit rejected King Saul and each of David’s brothers (1 Samuel 16). The Bible says that from the day that Samuel anointed David to be king, the Holy Spirit came upon David in power (1 Samuel 16:13).
Yet, what did David do after being anointed with the oil from Samuel’s flask?
He returned to care for his father’s sheep.
This is where most people miss their moment. Most people would grasp to fulfill the prophesy that they received. They would begin to maneuver or scheme the process rather than wait for God’s timing to step them into the position of prophetic destiny.
When God speaks a Word over your life, don’t rush to fulfill it - it awaits an appointed time. You may need to return to your responsibilities and work patience while the process of God takes you into your new position.
