John the Baptist, through the coming of Jesus Christ

These are the words of John the Baptist, who joyfully welcomed the coming of Jesus Christ.

...At yesterday's Kasai worship service...I spoke about Barnabas.
...Acts 11:24.

"He was a fine man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith.
So many were led to the Lord."
...When I researched Barnabas...I found elements in common with John the Baptist 🧐
I think his life was one of continuously seeking God's glory, rather than his own!
...Christian growth...is about being transformed from a life seeking one's own glory to a life seeking God's glory.
...That was Barnabas!
By choosing a life of seeking God's glory...
✳️One's character is transformed.
✳️One is filled with the Holy Spirit.
In parallel, one's faith is strengthened!
...As a result...through that person...many people come to believe in Jesus. This is revival❗️

...As our ego and pride weaken each day, the Lord within you becomes stronger...
And our lives are transformed into blessed lives.

...It's not easy.

However, by staying connected to Jesus... we are transformed.

Let's look forward to it.

Shalom 😃
