The reasons are many… but most struggles can be traced back to a lack of a transition plan.

– Elijah & Elisha – 1 Kings 19:21 – “Then he (Elisha) set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.” (NIV)
– Jesus & the Twelve – Luke 22:29 – “And I confer on you a kingdom, just as My Father conferred one on Me.” (NIV)
