As in other worthwhile ventures, preparation is fundamental to effectiveness and success. It is often said, ‘Poor preparation precedes poor performance.’ Also proper preparation precedes proficient performance.
God wants us to represent Him well as His ambassadors. We are His hands feet and voices. We are enjoined in the scripture to ‘study to show yourself approved, a workman that needs not be ashamed, rightly (skilfully) handling the word of truth.’ (2Tim2:15) We are also told to be prepared to tell people the reason for the hope we have. (2Pet.3 :15)
