If God unveiled all he had predetermined for your life, you may never decide to embark on the journey laid out ahead of you.
“For we know in part and we prophesy in part.” — 1 Corinthians 13:9
At times, we implore God to reveal more to us; however, out of his infinite understanding, he frequently keeps certain aspects hidden. As the scripture states, “We know only a portion,” for God comprehends our human limitations. Should he unveil both the splendor and the hardship associated with our purpose, many of us might retreat before embarking on our journey at all.
Look at Jeremiah. God told him, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Imagine if, in the same season God awakened him to his calling, He also showed him all the rejection, persecution, and sorrow he would face. It’s likely Jeremiah would have shrunk back. And indeed, Jeremiah once cried out, “I will not speak again in Your name!” The pain was heavy—but the call was heavier.
“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13
God provides opportunities only within the limits of one’s capabilities. However, numerous individuals fail to attain certain roles simply because they never build up the necessary strength to be eligible for them.
Even Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane, prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done.” He was facing His greatest trial. Yet what gave Him the strength to endure the cross was the hope and glory that lay beyond the suffering. The Bible says, “For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross.” God allowed Him to go through that trial because He had the capacity to overcome it.
Do you have the capacity to overcome what you’re going through? Many never walk into their moment because they don’t trust His process—or believe that He’s already prepared them for the season He allowed them to enter.
You could wonder, why does God let us see only partially? Because complete understanding without complete readiness can overwhelm us. Our belief comes with boundaries. In our frailty, we might avoid the exact journey that takes us to our purpose.
Prophetic seasons refer to divine appointments where certain events must occur. In my teaching about Prophetic Timelines, I discussed how Moses moved ahead prematurely by ten years. Although God told Abraham that deliverance for Israel would come after four hundred years of slavery, Moses intervened at the three-hundred-ninetieth year. While his intentions were right, his personal development lagged behind. An additional decade of growth might have shaped a very different Moses.
This teaches us something powerful: being called is not the same as being ready. You may be anointed to preach, but it might not yet be your time to preach. When the timing aligns with your becoming, that is when grace flows most fully.
Election follows formation.
When God reveals a portion to you, He means: “Grow.”
Be the individual capable of upholding the remaining part of the vision.
A lot of people fail to achieve their true purpose because they don’t persevere. They remain at the stage of initial enthusiasm or insight, yet they do not go through the necessary steps that would qualify them for what comes next.
So I ask you:
What has God asked you to become?
Are you becoming it?
Once you reach this point, he will unveil the subsequent portion and choose you for it.
