A prophet of the Most High ...

"And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;

    for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
    through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
    by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
    and in the shadow of death,to guide our feet into the path of peace.” (Luke 1:76-79)

A prophet of the Most High - This is what John the Baptist was. He had a special ministry. He prepared the way for Jesus the Saviour. He didn't try to compete with Jesus the Saviour. When Jesus the Saviour appeared, John the Baptist stepped aside. This is the way it must be with us. we must not try to take any of the glory away from Jesus. We must give all the glory to Him.
