2 Chronicles 27:6. ‘So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.’

DAILY READING –   Matthew 5:21-48; Exodus 30-32; Proverbs 14

Butterflies are one of Nature’s most beautiful and amazing creatures. They fly and float beautifully in the air. But this is only after they have  gone through a long metamorphic process. A moth will not become a beautiful butterfly until it has endured the struggle through the tiny hole in its cocoon. When a moth is struggling to get through the hole, it is actually forcing the fluid from its body into its wings. Without the struggle the wings will not get the necessary fluid to grow, without the struggle the butterfly’s wings would never be strong enough to function and fly. And without flight the butterfly will not be able to survive.

Preparation is the fundamental key in the school of success.

Athletes know the importance of preparation. To compete and do well, they need to be in good shape mentally and physically. It takes hours and hours of practice. The average Olympian prepares himself by training four hours per day, 310 days per year, for six years before succeeding. That translates into more than 7,000 hours of training for an event that may last less than sixty seconds. And when they finally win and stand on the pedestal to receive their gold, many never see the price they paid in the place of preparation. Indeed it doesn’t take time to manifest, but it takes time to prepare. Truly, preparation is the mother of  manifestation.

2 Chronicles 27:6. Says ‘So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.’

Preparation must always precede manifestation. It is only those who have paid their due, in preparation that becomes due for manifestation.  To fly high, you must pass through a necessary process of preparation. Indeed it is our year of Eagle’s flight, but we must understand that there is always a price to pay to arise  to greater heights.

To get to where God wants us to be, we must be willing to go through the required process.  It is impossible to get from where we are to where we are going without making a transition. To ascend to the height God has for us we must be willing to go through the process of transition. And God is more interested in the process, than in our comfort. Indeed God is taking us somewhere. He is repositioning us. And even when we face storms in the place of preparation, we must remember that the storm is not the destination, but the pathway to a destination. And no matter what process God passes us through, according to Romans 8:28 indeed All things are working together for our good, because we  love God, and are called according to His purpose.

So on this eagle’s flight, let us be willing to embrace the process of preparation, because God won’t project you unless He has first prepared you. The year may be coming to an end but it is not too late for God to do what He has said He will do, as long as we do our own part by staying prepared. We prepare in the place of prayer, studying The Word, praise and sacrificial giving. And truly when we refuse to be weary in doing good, surely in due season we shall reap.

PRAYER: Father please help me to be willing to submit to the necessary process that will prepare me for my next level.  Please destroy every force of limitation in my life and enable me to rise to the place  you have ordained for me in this season in Jesus name.
