NEW WEEK TONIC: JULY 27, 2020

TOPIC: PREPARATION

INTRODUCTION:

WHAT IS PREPARATION?

Preparation is an act of being ready for a specific future purpose or task in order to get a desired result as and when due.

There is a popular saying that, he who fails to plan, plans to fail.

Preparation is very key to every success in life, because it connotes seriousness and readiness to face any likely challenges, and this is a true picture of a determined mind and risk taker.

SOME ADVANTAGES OF GOOD PREPARATION

i. It hastens success: Proper and timely preparation will no doubt hasten anybody's success, and this has been a testimony of many successful people all over the world.

ii. It provides you with emotional arsenal against any challenges: If you have planned adequately for your works, knowing fully well that some difficulties might occur along the line, you may not have to lose anything because your preparedness must have covered up for you.

iii. It makes the task easier: Once you have adequate preparation for your tasks, things get easier, even more than your expectation at times.

iv. It gives you more confidence: Of course, you wouldn't have to fear failure once you have done the needful as and when due.

v. It gives you better time management opportunity: So many people waste away their precious times due to lack of preparation, but good and right plannings are very powerful time management tools if properly utilized.

SCRIPTURAL POINTERS:

John 14:3

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

Proverbs 21:31

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory belongs to the Lord.

Looking at the first Bible verse above, you will realize that even our Lord Jesus Christ didn't ignore the word, "preparation". And the second Scripture makes us realize that though victory belongs to God, but preparation is of great importance.

CONCLUSION:

Adequate preparation rescues us from time wastages, avoidable failures and ridicules. It's a gainful tool that is capable of catapulting us to victory at the least expected period of time. Let's lunch out this week therefore, make appropriate plans for all our projects, and also preach same gospel to every person in the globe.
