Enlargement does not happen by chance. It results from purposeful preparation. Every believer seeking growth must realize that God works with prepared vessels, minds, systems, hands, and hearts. Preparation is the quiet investment that leads to loud results. It is the hidden effort that positions someone for public glory.

Proverbs 24:27 outlines a divine order: you must prepare your work, make it fit, structure it, refine it, align it, and only then begin building. God does not promote disorder. He enhances order. He does not increase confusion. He increases structure. Until you prepare your field, your house cannot stand. Until you organize your systems, your harvest cannot flourish. Preparation serves as the prophetic base for divine expansion.

Preparation reflects spiritual wisdom. It understands that opportunities will not wait for those who choose to remain unprepared. It recognizes that destiny rewards those who respect the process. It shows that no matter how powerful your prophecy might be, if your preparation is weak, your enlargement will be limited. Prophecy shows what is possible, while preparation determines what becomes real.

Throughout Scripture, God elevated those who were prepared. Joseph was prepared through interpretation, administration, and consistency before becoming governor. David was prepared through worship, warfare, responsibility, and service before reaching the throne. Esther was prepared through mentorship, submission, and strategic positioning before leading a kingdom. Daniel was prepared through discipline, excellence, and wisdom before ruling in Babylon. Even Jesus spent thirty years preparing for a ministry that lasted three. God does not skip preparation. It is His way of establishing destinies.

Preparation enlarges your capacity. It extends your mind, builds your character, hones your skills, and refines your execution. It makes you a reliable steward of divine opportunities. When preparation meets opportunity, manifestation is guaranteed. But when opportunity encounters lack of preparedness, disappointment is certain.

Preparation needs clarity. You cannot prepare well for what you do not comprehend. You must understand your assignment’s direction, the expectations of your destiny, and the demands of your next level. Preparation requires humility. It asks you to accept learning, correction, mentorship, and excellence. Preparation demands sacrifice. It costs time, energy, resources, sleep, comfort, and convenience. Nothing grows without effort.

Preparation also needs foresight. You must think beyond today and plan for tomorrow. Anticipate challenges, create systems, strengthen foundations, and build for the future. A prepared believer stands firm. They do not crumble under stress. They remain calm in transition. They do not fear change. Preparation stabilizes feelings and strengthens the spirit.

December is your month for strategic preparation. God wants you to establish systems for prayer, study, finances, relationships, career, leadership, and purpose. He encourages you to organize your environment, arrange your duties, refine your skills, and elevate your mindset. Growth in 2026 will need greater competence, deeper discipline, clearer vision, and stronger execution.

Preparation is action based on revelation. It is faith turned into planning. It is prophecy made into structure. It is expectation converted into readiness. A preparer is a believer. An unprepared individual shows no expectation of God’s movement.

Do not wish for enlargement without also preparing for it. 

Do not aspire for greatness without preparing for it. 

Do not pray for platforms without preparing for responsibility.

Preparation is your response to divine opportunity. 

Get ready. 

Strengthen your systems. 

Sharpen your gifts. 

Align your priorities. 

Your preparation shows you are ready for growth.
