John 3:30

One day
John the Baptist
was discussing Jesus with some men.
John explained to them:
"He must increase; I must decrease."
In other words:
Jesus must become more important
and
I must become less important.
- - -
These words weren't just about
the position of Jesus in society
and in the religious community.
It also indicated John's personal dedication to Jesus.
John learned the secret of making Jesus
(Jesus' words & goals)
a focus of importance in his life
while
he intentionally worked on
making his own wants and desires less important.
To have victory over temptations and selfishness,
we have to make Jesus more important in our life
and make our wants and desires
less important in our life.
In order to please God and be a Champion for Christ,
we have to make Jesus more important in our life
and
make our wants and desires
less important in our life.
Let's position ourselves for
VICTORY!
Dear Lord,
Remind me to often think about John's words.
Give me ideas
on
how to
apply John the Baptist's words
to my life.
Show me how to increase YOU in my life.
Show me how to decrease "myself" in my life.
You have GREAT plans for me!
You have GREAT Plans for me to be an Overcomer!
You have GREAT Victories for me to experience!
I will position myself so that I can
receive
your inspiration and motivation.
When I am following you closely,
I will see miracles in my life.
I declare that my life will look more and more
like
JESUS!
AMEN!
