The Cost Of Change: A Sacred Death Before A Divine Awakening

Change—a word that rolls off the tongue with deceptive ease. It sounds simple, almost casual, like a decision you make in passing. But real change? Transformative, soul-altering change? That’s a different realm entirely. It’s not cosmetic. It’s surgical. It does not ask for permission. It demands a price. And only a few are willing—or able—to pay it.

The Illusion of Desire
Many say they want change. They pray for it. They sing about it. They post about it. But when change begins to knock, it doesn’t show up as a gift wrapped in gold. It comes in storms. It comes in silence. It comes in solitude. It breaks your routine. It shakes your relationships. It questions your values. It wrecks your plans.

Change is never convenient. It is disruptive by design. It doesn’t cater to comfort; it demands conviction. And in that space between desire and reality, most people retreat. They wanted the result of change, but not the cost.

The Price of Becoming
You cannot change and remain the same. That’s the paradox. True change demands an exchange:

Your comfort for courage. Your pride for humility. Your old self for your higher calling.

If you want to rise, you must first descend. If you want to be reborn, something in you must first die.

This is the price of becoming. It’s spiritual. It’s emotional. It’s psychological. Sometimes even physical.

You will lose things. People may walk away. Your own heart will wrestle with the unfamiliar. But make no mistake—nothing worth becoming comes without shedding what you once were.

The Seed Must Die
The sacred text in John 12:24 tells us:

“Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.”

This is more than a farming metaphor. It is the blueprint of every life that ever evolved into greatness.

The seed looks whole on the outside, but its true potential is hidden inside. And that potential is only released through a process:

Falling – Humbling yourself from pride or pretense. Burial – Letting go of control, status, identity. Death – Allowing the old version of you to dissolve. Germination – The hidden work of transformation. Growth – Slowly emerging into purpose. Multiplication – Becoming a blessing to many.

But most people fight this process. They don’t want to fall. They resist being broken. They are afraid of becoming “nothing.” But in the divine order of things, nothingness is the womb of everything. Until the ego dies, the spirit cannot live fully.

The Death That Leads to Life
Change will make you feel like you are losing it all—your mind, your relationships, your sense of direction. But what you’re really losing is what no longer serves your growth. You’re not dying; you’re shedding.

Ask the caterpillar what it feels like to lose its legs, to dissolve into goo in a dark cocoon. But out of that breakdown comes a breakthrough—wings.

To evolve spiritually, emotionally, mentally—you must be willing to face that cocoon.

And yes, there will be seasons where you feel like nothing.

But hear this truth:
Before something powerful is born out of you, something powerless must die inside you.

The Resistance Within
Change threatens the parts of us that have made peace with mediocrity. We say we want healing, but healing means facing the wound. We say we want growth, but growth means discomfort. We say we want truth, but truth means letting go of the lies that kept us safe.

So, we resist. We delay. We distract ourselves with noise, with people, with pleasure—anything to avoid the silence where transformation begins.

But there is no shortcut. No bypass. No discount.

You must pay the price.
The Reward of Endurance
For those who endure, who dare to stay in the fire, who allow the old self to die—resurrection awaits.

The people who truly change are those who were not afraid to be broken, to be questioned, to be emptied. They did not just seek the fruit—they became the seed. And in time, they bloom.

And when they rise, they don’t just rise for themselves. They become:

Teachers for others. Light for the lost. Wells for the thirsty. Maps for the wandering.

Their pain births purpose. Their breaking births blessings.

Final Thoughts: Change Is Not an Option—It’s a Calling

We live in times where change is not a luxury—it is survival. The world is shifting, values are being tested, old systems are collapsing. And within this chaos is a divine invitation: Change, or be consumed.

So, the question is not, “Do you want to change?”

The question is, “Are you ready to die to what you once were?”

Because the new you—the healed, bold, fruitful, awakened you—is buried inside the old you. And it is only through surrender that resurrection becomes possible.

Let the seed fall.
Let the old die.
And let the fruit of your transformation speak louder than your fears ever did.
