Head And Not Tail
Friday, March 27, 2026Key Verse
“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; …” Deuteronomy 28:13a
Text — Deuteronomy 28:12-14
Message
Seraphina was a very brilliant girl in her class. She always came first at the end of every academic session. However, there is one important attribute of Seraphina that made her stand out among her peers. She is a committed Christian. This is the reason for her excellent performance in her academics. She had three wonderful attributes put together, Christ-like holiness, brilliance and beauty. She also had the habit of telling others about Jesus everywhere she went. Seraphina was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. She also did not yield to any form of temptation. All these make her to become an excellent child.
There is an important condition attached to God’s promise of making us the head and not the tail. That condition is obedience. It is important to obey God’s call to salvation, holy-living and commitment to true worship and service. Surrender your life to Jesus now and ask Him to build in you, the qualities that will take you to the top.
