Leading Through TransitionSample

COUNT THE COST (CONT'D)

"For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish – lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.” Luke 14:28-30 KJV 

The cost of transition will be more than financial. It may require a greater level of self-sacrifice than you anticipated. It could result in the loss of valued loyalties, and long-time supporters, due to their lack of willingness to commit to the process, or failure to embrace the vision. Such losses can be daunting. However, as believers, we trust God's provision for the vision.

QUESTION: Are you willing to pay the cost for the transition? Do you trust God enough to move forward despite the losses?
