GOD IS ABLE TO GUIDE YOU PRECISELY
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water." (John 1:29-31 NKJV)
John the Baptist was expecting the Messiah, but he did not know who He was, yet Jesus and John were related but all along John did not know that His very own relative was the Christ! But John did one thing, He busied Himself with the mission God had called him to, preparing the way for the Messiah, ardently preaching repentance and that the Kingdom of God had come, baptising men symbolic of their repentance, doing His work, that Christ may be revealed! For he said, "I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water." (John 1:31 NKJV)
- What are you doing so that right person, place or situation can be revealed? Are you busying yourself looking for it or doing the will of God that leads to its revelation? It was necessary for John to go baptising that Christ may be revealed, without which he would not have known that his very own relative was the Messiah.
- Sometimes that person, place or situation may be very close to you, but unless you start doing what you are supposed to be doing, it may not be revealed to you. Ask the Lord to reveal to you what you should be doing and embark on it ardently! As you do so, God will reveal that which is right for you!
And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:23, 32-34 NKJV)
God is able to guide you precisely so that you do not miss His divine will.
