Look at an image of a dog, a cat or
even a cow: the head sits on top of their
body and the tail sits at the end. The
positioning is not by accident because
the head guides the body and the tail
just blindly follows. What about the
game “Follow The Leader”, do you
remember playing it and did you enjoy
being the leader or the follower? If you
are like me you loved being the
leader. The circumstances are
just the same when you are a
Christian. Having an
identity in Christ means
you will always be on top.
You will stand in the center
on the first place podium and
collect the gold medal. Deuteronomy
28:13 (NIV) states “The Lord will make
you the head, not the tail. If you pay
attention to the commands of the Lord,
your God that I give you this day and
carefully follow them, you will always be
at the top, never at the bottom.” Even
more so
you will be prosperous,
blessed, never wanting for bread, water,
suit of clothing or even a toy. Being the
head and not the tail means that He will
supply all your needs and when you feel
discouraged or just sad, you can be
hopeful that God has placed you on
TOP to be the head and not the tail, you
will lead the way.
Do you love to win? Can you remember
the feelings you have when you win a
race, a game or a sport? You will be
pleased to know that being a Christian,
having an identity with Christ; winning
is the foundation. It comes as a part of
the package from the beginning to end.
Being the head means you are on top,
victorious rather than the tail, at the
bottom and losing. This is the way it
works: picture an inflatable arm band,
every time someone tries to pull it, push
it or tug it under the water it always
floats right back to the top. This is the
type of power you hold, no matter how
life pulls, tugs or knocks you under
water you will ALWAYS float
right back to the top,
prosperous, victorious,
leading the way. Romans 8:37
(NIV) “No, in all these things
we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us.” The next
time you overhead someone saying “I
am proud to be a Christian” you will
know it is because they are the head and
not the tail, leaders, prosperous,
victorious and abundantly blessed. The
coin is being flipped now so you decide:
HEADS or TAILS?
