** Let Him use you.


MT. 3:13-17; MK. 1:9-11; LK. 3:21-23


John the Baptist was overwhelmed that Jesus was asking to be baptized by him. John had already declared himself unworthy to unloose the latchet of Christ's shoes, and now the Christ was asking him to administer His baptism (Lk. 3:16).


Likewise, we are often overwhelmed by the idea that the Lord could use us. Who are we to proclaim the unsearchable riches of Christ?

It is easy to disqualify ourselves and not fulfill God's instructions.

However, Jesus told John that he had to do it to fulfill all righteousness.

** Righteousness is defined as "the quality of being morally correct and justifiable.

{ Righteousness is the works and desires of Almighty God!}


As wonderful as it may seem, the Lord has chosen to use us.

God's Word could not have been fulfilled without John's cooperation.

The Lord works through people.


We can do nothing by ourselves, but the Lord will do nothing by Himself (Jn. 15:5; Eph. 3:20).

A lack of understanding this has caused many people to miss God's blessings. They pray and desire God's best, but wait on God to move independently of them. There are certain things which we must do to fulfill the righteousness of God in our lives.
Knowledge does no good unless acted upon! Choose your path today - based upon the Will of God in your life!


John was not seeking to exalt himself, but his failure to baptize Jesus would not have been an act of humility. It would have been stupidity.

It takes great humility to recognize the call of God on your life and let Him use you.

*** Many are often called - yet few responds! Accepting the calling of God in your life has a certain privilege and purpose - remember it is not really about you, it is about how you accept the Will of God in your life! It is a free choice - use it wisely!

Learn not to be self-centered and how to listen and learn how the Will of God can operate in your existence!

I have been learning how to accept the Righteousness of God!
Amen!
