COUNT THE COST 1

One key factor in the school of success is your ability to think through in your quest for better results and productivity. If you cannot sit yourself down and reason with the Holy Spirit, you will end up taking the wrong steps and making unpleasant choices on the earth. Each step you take in destiny contributes a great deal to your progress or retrogression. You can’t afford to be in a rush. It’s expedient that you carefully consider your ways so as not to run in error. I pray for you, may you not be captured into error in Jesus mighty name.

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” Luke 14:28. It’s not enough to start but it’s extremely important that you start with a picture of a glorious ending. How sweet it is to begin several journeys on earth but the end of so many of such journeys have hit the rocks. Your marriage can only thrive in hard times if you laid a good foundation for it. You cannot succeed in business if you fail to analyse what is required to breakthrough in that line of business. Several courtships have ended up as mere day dreams because the parties involved didn’t bother to consider the investments required to yield fruitful marital results. You can’t aim for the best as a student if you are not ready to count the cost, be sure your dreams are achievable and be ready to do all it takes to achieve that success.

Have you considered what you need to do to make things work as you begin to take certain steps in life? No one will ever think for you. You are responsible for your success or failure in life. If you will not plan to succeed, you are definitely planning to fail.

 Prayer: Lord, grant me grace to start and end it all well
