Prep Before The Promise

Updated: Aug 13

At the right place, at the right time.

If it’s not purpose-driven, intentional or empowering, it’s not worth your time.

Only invest in what aligns with your destiny.

The Holy Spirit confirmed: It’s going to be big.

When you plant a seed, you don’t reap another seed—you reap something bigger than what went into the ground.

If it’s planted in good soil, it will flourish.

The Transitional Season

The book of Joshua marks a transition—not for the faint of heart, but for survivors who endured the desert and are strong enough to move forward.
It’s a fresh start, the beginning after the end.
The desert tried to take them out, but it didn’t work.
Old things have passed away; the door to the future is opening.
They had learned to survive in dry places—the drought is over.
Now comes a transformative experience with a new leader—requiring disruptive thinking and flexibility for expansion.

God speaks to Joshua after Moses’ death. He had never fully led on his own before.

Joshua 1:5

Joshua 1:9

“Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you.”

Joshua 1:11

“Prepare your victuals, for within three days you shall pass over this Jordan to possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.”

God’s people had been preparing for years.
Preparation is underrated but vital—you can’t wait until you arrive to get ready.
Faith prepares for what hasn’t happened yet.
Prep time is more important than cook time—real food requires prep.
Preparation requires structure, strategy, and the right mindset.
The temperature might not be right yet—this is the language of your future.
If you don’t have the mindset, you won’t have the asset.
You can’t take your old mindset into your new moment.

In Egypt, they ate from the hands of Pharaoh.
In the wilderness, God provided daily manna—bread from heaven.
Then, without warning, the manna stopped.
What used to work didn’t work anymore—God was shifting the system.
Many think this means losing God’s favor, but that’s not true—it’s an invitation to grow.
God was saying: “I won’t make it happen without you. I require your investment in your provision.”
Moving from dependence to interdependence.
Weaning from the easy way—what brought you here won’t take you there.

God said: “It’s yours, but you still have to fight for it.”
Don’t just pray for it—fight for it.
Stop worrying and waiting—possess it.
Shift your strategy—break out of routine.
This is a paradigm shift—changing how you think to receive what God is giving.
Mindset determines assets.
Prep season is about becoming ready for the promise.
Move from preparation to possession—from faith to action.
Possess the promise of God.
God said: "It's already yours.
