The Secret of The Greatest

Yochanan The Immerser
Yochanan the Immerser or John the Baptist was in a sense the last of the Old Testament prophets. He was also a priest, a Nazarite, and Messiah called him the greatest of those born of women. Yet he said "I immerse you with water for repentance, but He who comes after me is above me. I am not worthy to untie His sandals." Everything he was, all he did, said, and stood for - all of it had only one purpose - to lead to Messiah. That's why he was the greatest of all. His life, more than any other, led directly to Messiah's redemption. If you want to live a great life, then make Messiah the object and purpose of all you do. Make Him the goal, aim, and reason. Whatever you do, do it for Him and to His glory. Whatever thing you endeavor to do, or spend time and energy pursuing, if it doesn't lead to Messiah, put it away. Make your life 100% leading directly to Messiah- your words, actions, gifts, endeavors, and your heart. Then the life you lead will lead to greatness.

Today's Mission
Today, make it your aim that everything you say and do is aimed at and leads to Messiah.

Acts 11:23
King James Version
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
When the church in Jerusalem got wind of this, they sent Barnabas to Antioch to check on things. As soon as he arrived, he saw that God was behind and in it all. He threw himself in with them, got behind them, urging them to stay with it the rest of their lives. He was a good man that way, enthusiastic and confident in the Holy Spirit’s ways. The community grew large and strong in the Master.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!!
