Concerning Jotham, the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 27:6: “Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.” Greatness is prepared for. It is not jumped into or stumbled upon. Nobody succeeds by accident. Every great sportsman made some great preparations to attain his greatness. He created avenues for exercises, he didn’t wait for it. You need spiritual exercises to attain your inheritance in life. Can you imagine a sportsman aiming at a championship, and all he does is fast and pray? He will never get there. The demands of championship does not reckon with fasting and prayers, but with rigorous exercises. Exercises first, then fasting and prayers later, for the attacks that may come against you on your way to making the championship. There is need to prepare your way before the Lord. You must exercise yourself to your rights and inheritance, before you realize them. In Proverbs 13:11, the Bible says: “Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.”
shalom!
