There are two sides of life – the prophetic and the practical side. The prophetic side of life is the divine side of your life and God uses practical things to prepare you for prophetic things. Many people have not stepped into the prophetic side of their lives because they neglected the practical things to usher them into it.
To some people, Bible study is ordinary, but for the person that God is preparing for the future, it is where you are receiving the material that will get you ready for that future. The interpretation you give to your current season will determine whether you are going to the next one or not.
Esther found herself as an orphan in the custody of Mordecai, but the Bible never mentioned what became of the children of Mordecai. This is because Mordecai was not a destiny coach to them. While Esther was learning under their father the same wisdom that prepared her, they might have been taking him for granted.
My wife will always say she was my first student. Whenever she says that, she is not doing it to flatter me or boost my ego. I used to take them to the village back then when the ministry started, and we will be on a mountain for three days. Even though we were engaged to marry at that time, she didn’t treat me as her fiancé; rather, she embraced the training programme. She could have decided not to take that season serious but now she is enjoying the benefits of committing to that destiny-preparation programme.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, give me the understanding to identify the practical things You are currently using to prepare me for my prophetic destiny in Jesus’ name.
