You shall be preferred

1 Samuel 16: 10, before David showed up to be anointed by Prophet Samuel, seven sons of his father had appeared before Samuel. David had people who arrived before him, but he was preferred ahead of them. They had the advantage of coming earlier than David, but he was preferred over and above them. They came before him but they didn’t do better than him; they came before him but he was preferred.

Beloved, hear me as I hear the Lord: you will be preferred. You will be preferred ahead of those who came before you; you will be preferred ahead of those who have more connections and advantages than you; you will be preferred ahead of those whose qualifications are above yours; you will be preferred ahead of those who are using their advantage to get ahead.

The fact that they came before you does not mean that they will do better than you; you may have come late, but you are not a latecomer in destiny; you may be running late, but you will make it in time. You will always have people who began their journey before you; you will always have people who will arrive at your opportunity before you; but just as God did it for David, you may be late but you will be preferred; you will be preferred for higher honours and greater levels; you will be preferred for great accomplishments. Your relevance is guaranteed. You will be preferred in Jesus name.
