Deut.28:
13.
And the LORD shall make thee the head, and
not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if
that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command
thee this day, to observe and to do them:
And
the Lord shall make thee (you) the head, and not the tail; above only and not
beneath! This move has absolutely nothing to do with one’s religious or
political status.
This is done solely by
the Lord.
No
amount of crafty wheeling or dealing, no closed door secret meetings can bring
about that which God has spoken in the above passage of scripture. Whatever a
man compromised to gain, he would have to compromise to maintain.
As
the word of God is forever true and sure; most people are ship wrecking their
faith as they’ve failed to seek God for wisdom of His process in making them
the head and not the tail. Too often, the religious mind set would hear the
testimony (sometimes true, MOST of the time LIES) of some superstar religious
leader that’s skillfully working his / her twisted, incomplete prosperity gospel.
And
based upon that which they’ve heard, they are now looking / expecting God to
show Himself on their behalf as the superstar religious leader said He did in
his or her life.
Attaining the position / status of being the
head, and not the tail has everything to do with one’s obedience to God’s
commandments
(Deut.28:13b. if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD
thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them)
This process of being the head is orchestrated
by God and it’s not meant to kill or frustrate you, but rather to rid you of
everything that would weight you down and hinder you from being the head, and
not the tail.
As
you’re faithfully going through God’s process, here’s what He says:
“Jer.29:
11.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward
you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end”.
Despite
the fact that there are many in church leadership who have taken the word of
God, and have methodically twisted it, for their own selfish financial gain;
thereby giving way to the concept / terminology (Twisted Prosperity Gospel); it
is and will forever be God’s will, His pleasure to prosper His children /
servants:
Ps.35:27b.
Let the LORD be
magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
God’s
promises / blessings are conditional
“If my people, if that thou hearken, if you
are willing and obedient, etc, etc,” don’t be deceived into thinking
that a person can live any kind of lifestyle that’s contrary to God’s commands;
and God will yet pour out His blessings upon such a persons.
Please
hear me!
No matter who (Man or Woman) anoints
you with oil, lay hands upon and prophesy (prophet-lie) to you; God’s blessings
are still conditional. Ignorance to the truth of God’s word is one of the enemy’s
most powerful weapons in use against the church.
Being
the head and not the tail is that of a prosperous life; this life is bestowed
upon the man / woman (his or her generation) that fears God and keeps His
commandments.
Watch
this !
Ps.
112:1.
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that
feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
:
2.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
:
3.
Wealth and riches shall be in his
house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
The
pursuit for prosperity has brought about many twisted paths / views in the body
of Christ; whereby every instruction and direction to God prosperity for His
people is clearly laid out in His word, the Bible.
In
the religious circle many books to prosperity, wealth and riches are being
written by those who have anointed themselves as the authoritative voices of
prosperity, wealth and riches.
Being
the all knowing God that He is, here’s what Yahweh said to Joshua concerning
his prosperity.
Josh.1:
8.
This book of the law shall not depart out of
thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
It’s
time for you as a believer to start examining that which you’re allowing to
enter your spirit as it relates to prosperity; because we’re living in a time
whereby if it’s possible even the very elect of God can be deceived.
May
the FOG ( Favor of God ) be with you, your family, your business and your
ministry:
