Lamentations 3:27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. KJV

THE BURDEN OF PREPARATION

There is a common saying that 'Proper prior preparation prevents poor performance'. That's just the plain truth; any man that want to feature in his desired future must be a man devoted and dedicated to thorough preparation.
It is not enough to find purpose but much better to prepare for the demands of purpose. Private preparation precedes public manifestation.

The youthful age is the time to prepare for the future because a glorious future doesn't happen by accident, it is a product of thorough preparation.

Jesus Christ fulfilled His prophetic destiny for three and half years but 30 years was devoted to preparation.

God called Moses but he prepared him for a period of 40 years in the wilderness. Paul the Apostle spent years in thorough preparation for his apostolic calling (Gal1:11-24).

Preparation involves the dealings of God upon your life over a period of time before He launches you out. God doesn't use half-bake.
Aside the dealings of God, preparation through learning and training is another key. As a young person, be given to training and learning. That's one of the ways to prepare for destiny.

Many youth get so excited about destiny but they fail to prepare for it that's why they fizzle out quickly. You must prepare yourself in prayer and fasting, relevant trainings, studying, relationships and continuous learning.

Don't jump ahead, wait in the preparatory room and let God launch you out Himself.

Action point

Father, I receive the grace to prepare for destiny In Jesus name.
