But John tried to stop/ resist/ hinder/ forbid Jesus saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me. Matthew 3:14
John was talking Jesus out of the perfect will of God and getting Him into the permissive will of God. Perfect will of God has (100%) perfect blessings associated to it. The blessings in the perfect will of God is like a loaf of blessing falling in our plate, otherwise it is like crumbs of blessing falling in our plate. Many are struggling in their blessing because of this. Walk the narrow path, go the extra mile, be righteous even though others around you might not walk the narrow path, walk the extra mile, or live a righteous life, but you do it. God will bless you for what you do for Him.
Then you will be different than others. They will be jealous of you, negative about you and even hate you, because they can't do what you can do. They can't be like you. Don't let people like John the baptist, talk you out of the will of God. God is first and not John the Baptist. Don't compromise on the will of God, because John is giving you the importance. Humble yourself like Jesus, then like Jesus even you will hear from God in front of everyone, "This is My beloved child." This is honor in front of others. Bible says, "God will give you double honor."
Don't resist the word of God, don't resist the will of God, no matter who the person who is talking you out of it. That person will be your closest friend, your leader, your coach, your teacher, with due respect they might be even your parents or even yourself. Don't give in and settle for the broadway because its easy. Don't settle for the single mile and settle for mediocrity. Leap ahead and jump up to do the perfect will of God and receive your blessings. I declare blessings on your life, in Jesus' name.
