(Luke 7:28 NKJV) “For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
This verse tells us how God feels toward us. God is not partial to how much we have done, how much we know, how much we give, how many titles we have in front of or after our name, what bible school we attended, what denomination we are involved with or how much money we have in the bank.
This scripture tells us how great John was as a prophet. Jesus knew John and the things he had done, but it did not make John any greater than another.
It’s a great blessing to be walking in the call of God and giving Him our all, but we need to be careful not to let it go to our heads. Be careful not to let pride sneak in, causing us to think we are the elite group or PERSON.
This is what religion will do to us if we are not careful, causing us to do more harm to the Bride of Christ than good. Relationship with Christ, not religion, will keep us humble.
Continue to shine and let God lead you each day, remaining humble and on fire for HIM!!
