Be The John Of Your Time

"John had been telling Herod, *“It is against God’s law for you to marry your brother’s wife.”

 So Herodias bore a grudge against John and wanted to kill him.* But without Herod’s approval she was powerless, for Herod respected John; and knowing that he was a good and holy man, he protected him.

 Herod was greatly disturbed whenever he talked with John, but even so, he liked to listen to him." Mark 6:18‭-‬20 NLT

*"Today's Herodias is anyone who bears grudge against the truth and does all to eliminate the truth and proponents thereof. Never be a Herodias; stand for the truth and defend it!"*

 *"Because the Herods and Herodias are in the majority, the Johns, the truth defenders are often eliminated. It is likely to be the reverse if all of us shall decide to be Johns. Be a John where you are and defend the truth!"*

*NOTE:* The modern day Herodias are those who hail evil when it favours them and hates the truth. They also hate goodmen who speak against evil and defend the truth. 

The Herods of today are also those who are in power, they admire goodmen yet, do wrong for pleasure from their connivers, abuse their powers by often victimizing advocates of good.

 Let's assess ourselves today: How are we using our powers wrongly for our personal pleasures? How do our accomplices cheer us on in this wrong doing? Do we victimize those who constructively and correctively criticize us? Negative answers to any of these qualifies us as a Herod or a Herodias. *Are  you a John, Herod or a Herodias?*

 Beloved, never be a Herodias or Herod.

*Prayer:* Eternal God, help me to love the truth and those who speak against evil in Jesus Name.

May we love good and goodmen and never be vindictive in Jesus Name. Amen. Blessings.

Never be Herod or Herodias! Be the John of your time; speak and defend the truth! Be blessed!
