- Not everyone is blessed. Not everyone has supernatural wisdom. Many are operating with their natural, human wisdom.
- Some students excel more than the others, not by their own abilities but because they have Godspeed. They have supernatural wisdom and supernatural retentive memory. It is clearly impossible for their own brain to give them the level of academic excellence they operate in.
- Some are not yet at the level where they can have God's hand upon them. And hence, they do not have Godspeed.
- Godspeed is often for committed Believers. I'm not saying that God cannot give it to a Christian at any level. I'm saying that in most cases, it is for mature Christians. Those who have been tried in the refiner's fire, tested and proven.
- God doesn't give everything to everyone simply because they became Christians. When you walk with God you get to understand that there are things one can get from God only by merit. You pay a price for it.
- Not every Christian is at the same level in their walk with God. Some are still in the wilderness. Some are out. If you're out of the wilderness, definitely God's hand will be upon you to give you speed or transcendence.
- Not every Christian walks in God's Favour, Supernatural help, Spirit of wisdom etc, because not every Christian has come into total alignment with God. Some still have personal issues to sort out with God. Having Godspeed will demand total alignment with God.
- Having God speed will demand that one has a track record of staying faithful to God. Consistency is key. Faithful in little and verified to access much. Tested and Trusted.
- There's so much that the Lord has in store for us, but He only releases some things at their appointed time. What we must do is to wait and work out a closer walk with Him.
