And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost (John 1:33).
When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another ? (Luke 7:20).
Sometimes, we are tempted to doubt the word of God or what God has said concerning our lives because of the challenges we may be going through. John the Baptist also experienced a similar situation evidenced by the scriptures above. John the Baptist had a vivid confirmation about Jesus as the messiah (John 1:33) but later had to send messengers to ask Jesus if He is the messiah. Challenges may come our way as we walk with God but we have to keep our focus on what He has promised us and believe that no matter what may come our way, we will always win. God’s promises are yes and amen. Sometimes, we miss our blessings ‘by inches’ because we doubted just after exercising our faith for so long a time.
