There comes a time in every believer’s life when the Lord calls us out of spiritual infancy and into spiritual maturity. We can’t afford to stay comfortable, complacent, or caught up in cycles of procrastination any longer. The truth is, activation is the opposite of procrastination. One moves by faith; the other is hindered by fear, doubt, or laziness. And the Bible is clear — God honors action that’s fueled by faith and obedience.

We can talk about wanting revival, breakthrough, and anointing, but if we’re not willing to move when God says move, we’ll miss what He’s trying to pour out. You cannot walk under the anointing if you’re making excuses and putting off what the Lord has already told you to do.

Let’s look at what the Word of God says about growing up, being serious, and becoming activated followers of Jesus Christ.

1. Ephesians 4:14–15 (NKJV)

“That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ.”

2. James 1:22 (NKJV)

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

3. Proverbs 6:9–11 (NKJV)

“How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep—so shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, and your need like an armed man.”

4. Romans 12:11 (NKJV)

“Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.”

5. 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 (NKJV)

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love.”

6. Colossians 3:23–24 (NKJV)

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”

7. Philippians 3:13–14 (NKJV)

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

8. 2 Timothy 1:6–7 (NKJV)

“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Beloved, it’s time to grow up and be serious about your walk with Jesus Christ. The Lord is calling His people into full activation — no more delay, no more excuses. The hour is late, and the harvest is great. You can’t carry the anointing while carrying procrastination. It’s time to rise, to move, to obey, and to believe that what God said, He will do.

Stop waiting for the perfect conditions — step out now. Stop talking about what you’ll do “someday” — start doing it today. The power of God will meet you when you take that first step of faith. Remember: activation is the opposite of procrastination, and obedience is the key that unlocks anointing.

This is your season to grow, to act, and to walk in purpose. God is ready to move — the question is, are you?
