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 Barcelonia, 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!
