John The Baptist as a Businessman

A Voice Crying in the Wilderness
Yochanan the Immerser, also known as John the Baptist, never got married. Why? It's probable that if John had married, he would have missed his calling and his life would have been a disaster. We don't know. But Messiah called him the greatest among men. If he had gone after earthly success, comfort, marriage, or business, he probably wouldn't have been that great at it and he would have missed his true greatness. Yet, by foregoing these things, he ended up the greatest man ever born before Messiah. Thus, you fulfill God's will for your life and don't worry about what others have. For even if you had a billion dollars, your life would be a failure if you didn't follow God's calling. Turn away from whatever is not God's best for you, whether it's more money, comfort, people's affection, fame, marriage, or whatever it is if it's not God's will. Just go all out for God. Seek to fulfill the best that God has for your life and your calling. Because John probably wouldn't have made a good husband, but he made one great Baptist.

Today's Mission
Choose God's highest path for your walking today and avoid anything that keeps you from fulfilling God's purpose.

Matthew 11:11
King James Version
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
“Let me tell you what’s going on here: No one in history surpasses John the Baptizer; but in the kingdom he prepared you for, the lowliest person is ahead of him. For a long time now people have tried to force themselves into God’s kingdom. But if you read the books of the Prophets and God’s Law closely, you will see them culminate in John, teaming up with him in preparing the way for the Messiah of the kingdom. Looked at in this way, John is the ‘Elijah’ you’ve all been expecting to arrive and introduce the Messiah.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!
