“An inheritance gained hastily at the beginning will not be blessed at the end.”
There’s so much wisdom in that one line. It’s saying—you can have something that’s meant for you, but if you grab it before the right time, it won’t bless you like it was supposed to.
Some things are not withheld from you… they’re being prepared for you. And at the same time, God is preparing you for them.
When something comes too soon—whether it’s ministry, favor, a platform, or even relationships—it can crumble because the foundation isn’t ready yet. It’s not that God doesn’t want you to have it. He just wants you to be formed enough to carry it.
Look at Scripture: • The Prodigal Son got his inheritance early, but it ruined him because he hadn’t developed the wisdom to manage it. • David was anointed king long before he sat on the throne—he waited until God’s time. • Abraham and Sarah rushed the promise and birthed Ishmael instead of waiting for Isaac.
All these stories teach us that timing matters. The process is where God builds the strength, wisdom, and humility to sustain what He’s promised.

A Word From My Heart
Listen The reason I’m sharing this is because I see so many zealous believers right now, and I thank God for your fire. I love seeing young men and women get radically touched by God, filled with passion, and start testifying everywhere they go. That zeal is beautiful. It’s proof that you’ve been changed.
But I also want to remind you don’t let zeal run ahead of formation. Many are zealous for the calling before they’re rooted and established in God’s love.
Because it’s in God’s love that your identity is formed. It’s in God’s love that intimacy with Jesus grows. It’s in God’s love that your character, patience, and humility take shape.
It’s not wrong to desire to be used by God—that’s your inheritance! You’ve been called, chosen, and marked for purpose. But if you rush the process, you’ll reach a place your foundation can’t sustain.
Let God prune you. Let Him build you in secret. Let Him test your motives and shape your heart, so what was meant to bless you never turns into a burden.
God is not only preparing the inheritance for you He’s preparing you for the inheritance.
Don’t rush the process. What’s inherited too soon becomes wasted too quickly. But what’s received in due season becomes fruit that remains.
