“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 28:13
Backwardness is a spiritual force that tries to keep you stuck in old cycles of delay, disappointment, and defeat. But God has called you to be the head and not the tail, to walk forward and not backward. The bible says the path of the just shines brighter and brighter… “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” – Proverbs 4:18
Today, you exercise your authority to break every curse, chain, and spirit of regression in your life. The Lord has empowered you to leave behind every setback and limitation, to walk in continuous progress and promotion. Embrace God’s power and disrupt every backward pattern, and decree your divine elevation, this is your time to advance without turning back.
