“PREPARATION”

READ: Hebrews 11:1-10

“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, PREPARED AN ARK to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” – Hebrews 11:7

Faith loves preparation! Men of faith are always preparing for something. Noah was preparing for a great flood whilst men without faith carried on eating, drinking, planting, building, marrying and giving in marriage. The big difference between men of faith and men without faith can be seen in what they prepare for.

Faith loves preparation! Victory loves preparation! Faith loves victory! Faith listens carefully to all warnings and prepares accordingly. Faith prepares for war! Faith prepares for possible mistakes. Faith prepares for battles. Faith prepares for the future.

Semper Paratus is a Latin phrase that means “always prepared”. It is used as the official motto of the United States coastguard. It is their motto because it means they are always prepared for an emergency. They know and believe that there are always emergencies, storms and howling gales. No one needs a special prophecy to know that storms and such like events are on their way. Faith loves preparation and will always make itself ready for what it believes is coming.

Men without faith are men without preparation! What are you preparing for? Preparation shows your belief. Some people try to amass wealth on this earth, preparing for the seventy years that they are not even assured of. Why not prepare for the thousands of years that are coming in eternity? Semper Paratus: “Always prepared!” That should be the motto of a man of faith. Prepared for the future! Prepared for eternity! Prepared for judgment! Prepared to meet your God! Always prepared!

Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee,prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. Amos 4:12
