The Preparation Period

The Preparation Period

Preparation in the Bible generally refers to the process of getting oneself or something else ready for a specific purpose. Preparation is not a one time event but an ongoing process of growth, learning, and aligning our lives with God's will and Word. Today, I want to share with you and hopefully give you a better understanding of some tools God uses to prepare us for future ministry. Being prepared means that we keep ourselves ready for upcoming events. 2 Timothy 4:2 says - Be ready in season and out of season. This was a charge given to Timothy by his spiritual father Paul, instructing him to preach the Word of God and be prepared to do so at all times regardless of circumstances. In the times in which we live in, there are things happening that no one thought they would experience, tragedies that are shaking the world but they shouldn't be shaking God's church. Instead, we as the body of Christ must continue to let God work deep within us so that we can be a life line to those experiencing such grief and heart ache.
