SERIES: SPIRITUAL PREPARATION
Scripture Reading:
“Prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only.” 1 Samuel 7:3
��️ MEDITATION
Spiritual preparation is the foundation for divine encounters, victories, and fulfillment of destiny. God does not move casually in unprepared vessels. Before promotion, manifestation, or visitation, there is always a season of preparation.
Preparing your heart means aligning your thoughts, desires, and intentions with God’s will.
It involves repentance, surrender, and hunger for righteousness.
A prepared heart becomes fertile ground where God’s Word takes root and bears fruit.
Many miss divine opportunities not because God is absent, but because their hearts are distracted, hardened, or unprepared.
Today, God calls you to intentionally prepare your heart for what He is about to do.
