HOW TO BE ABOVE AND NOT BENEATH
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: (Deuteronomy 28:13 KJV)
The above bible passage is God’s promise to us, are you living in that promise yet?
There are more average and below average people in life than there are champions. There are more people born into middle or lower class families than those born into upper class, but God’s plan for all of us is to be above and not beneath. His desire is for every one of us to excel in our destiny irrespective of our history. Regardless of where we started off in life, God has planned a colorful and bright future for all of us.
I talk a lot about success because I know we were wired to be massively successful in every area of our life. This was God’s original intent when He gave man dominion over creation (Genesis 1: 28). It is also the reason Jesus came to reconcile us back to the Father and sent us the Holy Spirit (Acts 1: 4-8, John16:12-13). No doubt God has done His part, but why are only very few experiencing this victory?
The answer lies in our attitudes towards taking responsibility. In life, rewards don’t go to the best, the smartest or the most talented rather the riches of life go to those rare people who take responsibility for themselves and what goes on around them. The degree that you can accept ultimate responsibility for what you currently have and where you’re at in your life dictates your ultimate success.
We have three options – justify, lay blame or take responsibility. Those who justify or lay blame empower their past to control their future. These will never rise to the top. Your best is never in your past but in your future and the pathway to reaching it is by taking responsibility.
Taking responsibility is called being honest with yourself, not blaming others or justifying but seeing how you played in a part in that situation and then doing something to change it.
How did mankind loose their place of dominion in the garden? It was by justifying and laying blame (Genesis 3:6-13). I’ve always wondered what could have happened if Adam and Eve simply took responsibility for their actions and asked for God’s forgiveness? Maybe things would have been different for all of us today. Unfortunately, a lot of people are still allowing Adam’s history to repeat itself in their lives. Jesus came as the second Adam and took the responsibility of the Adamic race upon Himself, that way He regained the dominion that was once lost and has made it available to everyone. However, only those who take responsibility can access this dominion.
Do you really want to live in God’s promise? Are you tired of being the tail rather than the head? Do you want to be on top of your game? Then review your life. I encourage you to look at the eight life areas (spiritual, health, money, family/social, partner, career, personal development and emotional) identify areas you’re currently justifying or laying blame and start taking responsibility. You’d be amazed at how empowered you become. If you stay on this path, nothing can hold you down.
You were destined for the top why remain at the bottom? Rise up, take responsibility and get your power back!
See you at the top!
With Love,
Angela
