The two things that determine your manifestation are FAITH and HOPE. Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. (Heb 11: 1). While Hope is the eager expectation of good.
Hope sets your standard high for something you have not yet entered into, but Faith is where the preparation is, because it gives substance to your hope.Faith makes your expectation real to you and drives you to work, because it is the conviction of the reality of what you have not seen.
Most people have high expectation but low preparation. When this is the case, the result you will get will be as low as your preparation..
Even among church folks it happens. A brother goes to church, and it is decreed “this is the year of increase” he shouts Yes! And his expectation is shot high, but is he really prepared for the increase? Because if he is not, he will carry his high expectation throughout the year.
Your preparation will determine your manifestation. A man that God is calling to do something will only have shame if he does not equip himself for that assignment.
God is calling you to a high calling .you must also put up a high preparation which is your part to play, because indeed your preparation determines how high you go in life!
