Our opening scripture is a profound statement uttered by John the Baptist concerning His mission. He stated that he didnt know Christ and that his mission was to make Christ manifest or known to Israel. The CJB version of our theme scripture says, "I myself did not know who he was, but the reason I came immersing with water was so that he might be made known to Isra'el". The baptism was a means through which he made Jesus known to Israel. God sets men for the manifestation of other men. It is an orchestration of God's supernatural grace. These men are grace carriers. Just like John came to make manifest Christ to Israel, there are people God has sent on your way for your manifestation. It is vital for you to recognize and honor them because of what they carry. Jesus for a moment had to submit to John and got baptized by him in the river Jordan.

It was a hard thing for John having on-spot insight of who He was. But Jesus told him, "Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15). Jesus is saying this is God's program. That step was key in God's eye for His manifestation to Israel. It is paramount to be spiritually minded. For instance, some grace carriers of men may not be as educated as you are but you have to humble yourself and submit to them so that God's programme for your manifestation is fulfilled. Don't be a person who ignore people and only say that you recognize God. God uses people for the uplifting of others. Hebrews 3:4 unequivocally declares, "For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God". This means God builds you through others. Your manifestation will come from God through grace carriers of people.
