Have you ever been somewhere when they flipped a coin to see who would be first or who would win? Do you know that God has determined that you, as his child, should be the one who wins? He wants you to be the head, not the tail, above, never beneath! 

Deut 28:13 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.

Winning does not ever come without a fight! Those who love you will encourage you to fight the good fight because they know it is the only way to win! Look at the words of the Holy Spirit written through his servant Timothy. 

1 Tim 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

A fight is only good when you are winning. Right? God has called you to be a winner! He wants you to be on top, never on the bottom! If you do it God’s way, you will find yourself at the top; you will win in life and have the favor of God chasing you. 

Ps 23:6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

As you know, the command above all commands is love! (Mark 12:30-31) And it is never by our might or power! (Zech 4:6) Faith in God equals a genuine relationship with God and a reciprocal love for God that answers the call of obedience! Resting your life upon your right standing with God, through the sacrifice of Jesus, is the beginning of greatness! The more we set our mind upon the gospel, the more we find ourselves living the abundant life of heaven! As brother Hagan used to say, “starve the world and feed the Word.” 

Is Jesus the Lord of your life? Is he first in your heart and life? Relationship with God based upon faith in his Word will cause you to live as the head, not the tail. Believing God causes the favor of God to chase you instead of you trying to chase it! The opportunity of a lifetime has been granted! Will you believe God? Will you put him first? Will you allow him and what he has said in his Word to dominate your mind? Your answer to these questions will determine whether you live your life on the top or the bottom. What will it be for you…
