Get ready to run your race

Get Ready, set, go!

Elijah made history. He was about to do something that had never been done — on several levels. He was getting ready to run his greatest race. But before he could run, he had to believe that God would show up for him.

Elijah stood face-to-face with 400 false prophets who claimed to speak for God. Jezebel had already killed many of God’s true prophets, but Elijah didn’t flinch. He had the audacity to believe that the God who answers by fire would show Himself strong — and He did.

🔥 God consumed Elijah’s sacrifice, proving once again that He alone is the true and living God.

But Elijah’s victory was about more than fire — it was about faith. It was about revealing a dimension of God’s character that no one else had seen before.

So, I ask you:

What part of God’s character has He predestined you to reveal to the world to destroy the lie of the enemy?

Maybe you’re called to restore families and turn the hearts of fathers back to their children.

Maybe you’re called to outlive the lie that marriage doesn’t work anymore.

Maybe you’re called to show that it’s never too late to give birth — to a child, a dream, or a purpose.

Maybe your mission is to ignite hope in the hearts of women who no longer believe real love still exists.

Whatever it is, God is about to use your life to prove His truth.

Elijah’s story reminds us that God often asks for our most precious sacrifice. Elijah poured water — their most valuable resource after a three-year drought — onto the altar. To some, it looked foolish. But to God, it was faith.

You might be in a season where God is asking you to give Him what you need most — your time, your trust, your control, your comfort. But He’s not trying to take from you. He’s trying to reveal Himself to you as the God who answers by fire.

It might look like you’ve wasted time, love, or effort, but nothing you’ve given was in vain.

Even after his great victory, Elijah was threatened by Jezebel and ran to hide in fear. Yet, God still protected his life. You might be in a cave right now — tired, discouraged, or questioning your calling — but don’t give up. God is still with you. He’s just repositioning you for the next leg of your race.

Elijah sent his servant back seven times to look for the rain. Maybe you’ve been waiting 7 days, 7 months, or 7 years — but hear me: the rain is coming. 🌧️

Elijah had to gird up his loins — to prepare his mind, strengthen his heart, and focus his spirit — before he could run. And when the rain came, he outran Ahab’s chariot. The hand of the Lord was on him.

That’s what God is doing for you. He’s been building your endurance. You’re about to outrun every lie, every delay, every disappointment.

Just like Sha’Carri Richardson. Three years ago, she was disqualified from the Olympics because of one mistake. But she came back stronger, faster, and more determined — and she won.

I know what that feels like. Years ago, I was given a platform to share my testimony — even invited by The 700 Club. But life hit hard. My home was in chaos, my children were rebelling, and I made choices that cost me years of momentum. Like Sha’Carri, I thought I was ready — until I wasn’t.

But here’s the beauty of grace: God doesn’t cancel your calling because of your mistakes.

This year, just like Sha’Carri, I’m back. I’m running again. And this time, I’m running with endurance, wisdom, and fire.

God is giving us another chance — another race. Generations have waited for this moment. Some have dropped the baton, but now it’s in our hands.

We will run.

We will finish.

We will win.

🔥 Elijah won.

🔥 Sha’Carri won.

🔥 I win.

🔥 You win.

🔥 We win — and everything connected to us will win too.

Get ready to run your race.

We’re about to make history.
