We live in a world that glorifies fast.
Fast followers.
Fast money.
Fast launches.
Fast results.
Even in prayer, we rush.
We’re living in a microwave life — where everything must be instant, or it feels like it’s not working.
But let me tell you something from personal experience:
Everything I tried to rush ended up breaking.
But the things I let God build over time — they lasted, grew stronger, and blessed more people than I could have imagined.
So if you’re feeling behind or tempted to force results, keep reading. This post is for you.
Please note: I’m not a financial advisor. I share my story and lessons for educational and spiritual encouragement only.
✋ Rushing Will Rob You
When I first discovered digital business, I wanted everything now:
Quick success on YouTube
Fast sales from my journals
Instant income from affiliate links
Rapid growth in trading
But the truth is… overnight success is a myth.
Even the people who “blew up” had usually been building in secret, failing in silence, and sowing seeds no one saw.
Rushing made me anxious.
Rushing made me ignore small wins.
Rushing made me compare instead of commit.
Until one day, I heard in my spirit:
“You’re not just building income. I’m building you.”
✨ What God Was Really Doing
Here’s what I’ve learned:
God doesn’t just want you to get to your next level — He wants you to be ready when you get there.
That’s why the journey includes:
Learning patience
Building resilience
Developing character
Trusting Him in the quiet seasons
He’s not just making you profitable.
He’s making you stable.
And that takes time.
💡 You’re Called to Serve, Not Just Sell
The goal is not just to make money — it’s to help people.
When your focus is on solving real problems, the sales will come naturally.
People don’t just buy products — they buy solutions. They buy clarity, hope, and trust.
So whether you’re publishing journals, creating courses, trading, or sharing affiliate links — make it your mission to serve.
This doesn’t mean you sit back and do nothing.
You still have to take action.
You still have to show up, create, try, fail, and learn.
But after you’ve done your part, God will take control of the rest.
🔁 Slow Growth Is Still Growth
I had to change my mindset from:
“How fast can I grow?”
to
“How deeply can I serve and grow in wisdom?”
Now I look at every product I create, every journal I publish, every student I mentor, and every trade I take with purpose — not pressure.
Because I know that with every obedient step, God is building something much bigger than I can see.
✅ How to Stay Patient in the Process
Here’s what helped me stop rushing and start resting in God’s pace:
Focus on faithfulness, not followers
Create from a place of peace, not panic
Celebrate small wins — they’re signs of progress
Stay in your lane — don’t copy, commit
Write out your vision and review it with God often
Repeat this truth: “I’d rather grow slow with God than fast without Him.”
📖 Scriptures That Anchored Me
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1
“In due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9
🙌 What I See Now
When I stopped rushing:
I created a real brand, not just random products
I made money consistently, not just in one launch
I built a business that allows me to give, teach, and bless
I found peace in the journey — even before the full results showed up
If I had gotten what I wanted too soon, I wouldn’t have known how to sustain it.
God knew what I needed: foundation before fruit.
💬 Final Encouragement
Stop rushing the process.
You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. You’re being formed.
Take action, yes — but release the outcome to God.
You’ll grow stronger, serve deeper, and sustain longer that way.
💛 Have you felt rushed in your business or calling? What’s one thing you’re surrendering back to God’s timing today? Leave a comment — I’d love to pray with you.
Let’s grow with grace.
Let’s build with wisdom.
Let’s trust His pace — even when it’s slow.
