SIT AND COUNT THE COST
Day 257
Date : Sunday 13th August 2020
Text: Luke 14:28 (KJV)
"For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?"
(please read the entire chapter for understanding).
THOUGHT CODE: "You will never actualize anything without first sitting and counting the cost"
God’s plan for mankind is to start and finish. God never intended for man to start and stop half way. That is why His is referred to as '... the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End'- Revelation 22:13
Man inherited this nature (starting and finishing) from God, such that when man gathered together to build the tower of babel, God had to come and scatter their language and He summarized their actions in Genesis 11:6(KJV)"And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
From our main text today, Jesus emphasised on the place of Discipline and Dedication in the actualization of whatever is laid up in the heart of man to do.
Have you received a vision from God about your life, family, business, marriage or destiny?
It is not wrong to sit and count the cost. Preparation is key to achieving anything worthwhile. A man who wants to build a house would need sufficient bricks, if not when he starts building, he would get stranded as a result of not counting the cost of what he set out to do at the beginning.
Sitting and counting the cost is the most important part of a thing else it leads to mockery and strandedness. Alot of people got stranded at a point in the journey of destiny because Discipline and Dedication was neglected.
However, it is always never too late to restrategize. Go back to your drawing board and discover the missing link. It is discovery that leads to destiny recovery.
You have gone too far to give up, Get up and recover all, this time around with adequate preparation and level of discipline and dedication, in Jesus Name (Amen).
COUNSEL: Decide today to always sit down and count the cost before diving into any matter of life and destiny.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive the grace, strength and revigoration to restrategize and recover whatsoever is lost in my life and destiny in Jesus Name, Amen!
