The Year of Running Like a Horse

Revelation 22:12-13

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

2026 Is the Year of Running Like a Horse

This year’s zodiac is the horse. It is a year when we really should run and jump like horses. However, if we just run excessively without wisdom, we will be exhausted and not able to do more. So, we should do it wisely, by taking a rest while running and by thinking as well. 

This year, too, there is work for God to do, and there is our work. God carries out His work without omission and without change. Therefore, as far as our work goes, we must surely do it. Then, according to how we run and how zealously we take action, we will hear God’s Word differently, and according to that Word, we will gain things.

 

Things Are Done Only as Much as You Have Taken Action

God does not tell us how this year will go. One thing is for sure, though: things will go according to God’s Will. Within that Will, the destiny of the things that pertain to you will be determined by what you do. 

Even if a person takes a path that leads to prosperity, they will prosper only as much as they travel on that path. This year, too, you will prosper only as much as you take action. Even a person who is on a path that leads to failure fails only as much as they have journeyed on that path. Even a person who is on a wrong path commits wrong only as much as they have traveled on it. 

Even if a person goes properly on the path that must be taken, if they only travel 100 miles when the destination is 1,000 miles away, then they are only at the 100-mile mark. Things are done only as much as you have taken action. You gain and enjoy things only as much as you have taken action.

A farmer who grows crops reaps according to his actions, according to his sowing and tending. Orchard keepers, too, harvest the fruits according to their planting and tending. In this way, for you too, if you take action ordinarily, things will be done ordinarily. But if you do a lot, as much as a mountain, while struggling despite going through hardship and pain, then things will be done as much as a mountain.

God, too, grants things only up to the measure of your action. He treats and rewards you only according to your deeds. As for people, they cannot give to us fully, measure for measure, even if we take action. God, on the other hand, gives us even the eternal, limitless Heaven. Therefore, you should check what you ought to do in God and do a lot of good. 

 

Do a Lot to Gain a Lot

Let’s say, a person has a 300-page book that they will read for the first time. If they read the book up to page 100, then they know the book’s content only up to that point. If they stop and do not read it further for 10 years, they will still not know the rest of the content. Similarly, in your life, too, you gain only as much as you have done. Therefore, to gain a lot, you must do a lot.

God grants things to humans only as much as they have done. For additional things, God gives more if His heart is moved. If a person is given something when they have not done anything, it will harm them instead. God grants each person only as much as they have done toward Him. Even if a person commits evil, they are repaid only as much as they have done. Even if a person does good, they are repaid only as much as they have done. This is the basics. 

A person may receive more according to the owner’s intention. In this way, God made it so that things come true only according to one’s deeds in accordance with the law of reason by which God created all things.

 

The Law of Reason

God constituted the laws so that all things under Heaven and on the Earth will turn out only according to their deeds. Both prosperity and failure come according to their deeds. Just as all mathematical expressions are calculated by the principle of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, things also turn out only according to what people have done for good or for evil.

If you put in money for one drink into a vending machine because you want one, the vending machine puts out one drink. Even if there are two drinks inside the machine, if you enter the money for only one, two drinks will not come out. If you put in money for only one but wish that two will come out and wait for them, sitting in front of the machine, two will not come out for the rest of your life. The owner who made the vending machine set it up that way. The principles for all things of the universe and human beings that God created are the same. This is the way God created Heaven, Earth, all things, and human beings.

 

Take Action!

If you do nothing, even if you are a righteous person, and even if you are someone God loves, 
you cannot gain anything. When God desires to give someone something because He loves them, what would God do? He gives them the ability to take action, gives them the Word for them to act on, gives them a willing heart, and then waits for them to take action. 


No matter what it is, no matter how difficult it may be, a human must take action. Only then will God give them the reward, so they can gain. Regardless of who it is, they must do what they must do. Only then can they gain. As human beings, we must run more according to God’s Word. Only then will a sign take place. Nothing will take place if you remain still. Therefore, since this year is the year of the horse, we must run like horses.

Even God does not gain or fulfill things without doing anything. Even God can fulfill something only if He, at least, verbally proclaims it. For example, in Exodus chapters 7-12, God went to Egypt through Moses and personally addressed each and every issue and struck the disobedient people with disasters. Also, you see in the Bible that God went to the land of Sodom to check the situation personally (Genesis 18:20-21 and Genesis 19:13). 

In this way, even God takes action in person. Even though it would have been sufficient for God to just proclaim the Word, He took action personally. By doing so, He became a mirror for humankind regarding action. Therefore, we must take action. If you need something, you must acquire it by taking action. No matter what it is, if you do not take action, you cannot gain it, and it will not work. If something comes true even though you remain still or do not take action, it is either someone doing it for you to return a favor, or it is God and the Holy Spirit doing it for you. Nothing just comes true.

If there is something you want in the Lord, you must do it to the end. If you just sit and cry, saying it doesn’t work, your tears will only become a river and flow. You must get up, pray, and diligently take action within God’s Will for the things you want. If you do, things will happen.

The know-how of prosperity is to take action! If you don’t do it, it will not be done. If you take action, you will prosper in the end even if you face tribulation and persecution. You must take action within God.
