Proverbs 24:27 Prepare your work outside; get everything ready for yourself in the field, and after that build your house.
PREPARATION
I noticed that we humans don't joke with certain things especially when it touches on our lives and well being. No one will submit his body to a doctor who didn't finish from medical school but is acclaimed as an expert. I'm sure you won't no matter how good he may be. Sometimes, people look for specialist doctors to treat their ailments not minding the cost. That doctor that is sought after is a product of quality training and adequate preparation. It is easy to examine men and women who left their footprint in the sand of times yet fail to look at how they were made. Adequate preparation for life and destiny is a vital key in becoming that influential personality that will touch lives and fulfill destiny. When apostle Paul got converted, he didn't just enter into apostolic ministry without preparation. He spent 3 years in Arabia( Gal1:17). As anointed as he was, he didn't launch out without preparation.
Jesus is one man whose impact is divine and eternal yet he didn't step out to start ministry not until when he was fully prepared and equipped at the age of 30. A wise man said, "proper prior preparation prevents poor performance". No vision succeed without proper prior preparation. The moment you sense God's call into destiny, you need to start preparing yourself for it. To be fully prepared, you need to be trained. Thorough training is the vehicle of adequate preparation. There's nothing you want to do that you can't be trained for, absolutely nothing.One of the best counsel I ever received was the counsel to get quality training.
Jesus couldn't release the disciples into the field of souls for world harvest not until they were prepared and equipped with power. God is not in a hurry. Though you are needed to fulfill destiny so that this world can experience the kingdom culture yet God won't release you to perform on the big stage until you're prepared. David's preparatory phase was in the wilderness. When he killed a lion and bear, he didn't know that God was preparing him to kill a human lion by the name Goliath. He tended the sheep of his father not knowing he will lead the flock of God's people. You will not operate in the fullness of God's plan without adequate preparation. A genuine vision can become an illusion when the element of preparation is missing.
Father, I receive grace to submit myself to training so that I can be prepared for life and destiny in Jesus name.
