31 May 2026—FAITH FOR PREPARATION—NOAH
Noah had a very unusual kind of FAITH—FAITH FOR PREPARATION. God had spoken to him concerning a flood to come, and he BELIEVED and OBEYED.
By FAITH Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, PREPARED an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to FAITH (Hebrews 11:7).
Jesus spoke about Noah’s generation as one that was caught by surprise by the flood. He said, “They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away” (Matthew 24:38-39). Noah warned them, but they were too busy with their daily lives to listen and PREPARE. Is it the same with us?
I am often confronted with this attitude about the walk of FAITH: “I walk by FAITH. I don’t need to PREPARE.” Of course, there are things that happen in every life for which we can’t PREPARE, but when God speaks to our hearts concerning His will, we must PREPARE. When God called me to preach the Gospel, I BELIEVED God would give me the messages, but I prayed, studied and PREPARED myself for this ministry of FAITH.
Child of God, I challenge you to listen to the voice of God within you and obey His instructions. God is speaking through His Word, the Bible, and He is also speaking through the prophets. In fact, the Bible says, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). Listen to what the Spirit is saying because you are living in a time of PREPARATION.
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
