God is a God of process and even Jesus went through a process, times of suffering when he had to offer "prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the one able to save Him from death (Hebrews 5: 7 NASB). Every believer in the fulfillment of their destiny or purpose will need to understand that they will go through the wilderness or a process stage, this is inevitable. Jesus our Lord and Saviour in His human form is our typical example. What we do in our process stage and how we understand our wilderness test and respond to it may differ from each other. Everyone on their way to their promised land will have to go through a process whether they like it or not. The wilderness is a hard place and it varies among each of us but it is essential for our lives even though it is painful. While a desert season feels terribly wrong and loneliness and despair may seem to reign, God is with you and He desires to use the wilderness for your eternal good. To reap its benefits, however, you must understand its nature, the purpose, and the who behind it. You will need to also understand how to navigate your process and wilderness state, the spiritual strategy to go through the process God is taking you through. You will also need to have a spiritual understanding of the process to see the performance and get the reward of passing your wilderness test. The Process is a prerequisite for the performance because it is what built into us the necessary character, virtues, and spiritual stamina needed to sustain the performance. In other words, God will first prepare you for what He has prepared for hence why the process is necessary. This book focuses on the premise that process precedes promotion and waiting on God concerning anything is not a waste of time rather a time to depend on and trust God the more and grow in your reliance and dependence on God. The word PROCESS was well examined with each letter been fully explained in relation to the journey to destiny. Where P is Purpose & Preparation; R is Realignment & Redirection; O is Obedience & Opportunity; C is Courage & Commitment; E is expectation & Endurance; S is Submission & Surrender; S is Supplication & Stand. It gives you an understanding that without the process there cannot be a performance of the promises of God, it is therefore important that we embrace the process God is taking us through for the performance to come to pass.
