Topic:- The Head and Not the Tail
Deuteronomy 28:13
And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath…
One of our church members saw his sales
performance hit rock bottom by the middle of
the year. As a result, he was ranked 320 out of
the 420 financial advisers in his company.
Devastated and on the verge of giving up, he
started listening to my messages and claiming
God’s promises such as “the Lord will make you
the head and not the tail; you shall be above
only, and not be beneath” and “many who are
first will be last, and the last first”. (Matthew
19:30)
He committed everything to God because he
believed that only God could turn things around
for him. And God did just that.
By the end of that year, he was ranked second in
his branch and 10th in the whole company! He
qualified for a trip for two to Barcelona, Spain,
worth about S$20,000. That was not all. For the
first time in his 12 years as a financial adviser,
he qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table
Award. Only the top six per cent of advisers in
the entire industry qualify for this international
award.
Beloved, when God makes you the head, you will
end up on top of your circumstances. Consider
the story of Joseph. (Genesis 39) Even when he
was a slave, he was the head and not the tail
because God prospered everything that he did.
“But Pastor Prince, when I look at my life, there
are times when I am up and there are times
when I am down. Yet, the Bible says that I will
be above only. I don’t understand this.”
What you are going through is only temporal.
Keep believing that you are above only and not
beneath, even when you have hit rock bottom. It
is God who always causes you to triumph in
Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:14) You cannot cause
yourself to triumph. Only God can and He has
promised in His Word that you will be the head
and not the tail, above only and not beneath. So
believe His Word in spite of your circumstances
and expect to see victory!
Thought For The Day
Even when you have hit rock bottom, keep
believing God’s promise that you shall be above
only and not beneath.
