Commit to Memory: “What king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counsellors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him?” (Luke 14:31 NLT)

The ability to prepare is the guarantee to better days. To convert anything small to become big, the place of preparation is inevitable. So we see that you can never rise above your mindset, there is more to know and do to access a glorious future. If you want triumph, be prepared to weather the trials that lead to victory. It is for this reason the bible says concerning Jesus in Hebrews 12:2 NLT

“…Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”

It is preparation that activates possibilities, births productivity and strange dimensions alien to men. It moves the favour of God to work in your direction. So we see that the reason why exploits are few is traceable to lack of preparation. We fail to prepare for marriage but prepare for wedding, we fail to prepare for our children but complain and pass their responsibilities to people, we fail to prepare for ministry but want to have results in a short while, we fail to prepare for financial freedom by starting a business, but we are ready for every interview to work all through our lives.

Beloved, it is lack of preparation that causes delay and births a life of struggle on every side. Lack of preparation depicts little or no planning, lack of information, misinformation, unproductivity etc. Friends, could it be that the reason for your snail speed and slow progress is due to the levity you show in whatever you do. It’s saddening that many believers have brought this to the ministry. May the Lord show mercy in Jesus name.

Reflection: To prepare for a future that is glorious you must seek healthy exposure to expand your understanding of things, environment, principles and access to quality and classified information.

Prayer Lines: Father, I receive grace to know, do and  prepare ahead for everything that will push me into a life of the overflow.
