You Are The Salt Of The Earth

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Kings 2:19-22 (KJV); And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

Years ago, before we understood certain truths pertaining to who we are in GOD, we were fond of sprinkling salt in places either to “dispel demonic forces” or “cover ourselves with divine protection.”

After all, Elisha had done the same. Our theme scripture reveals that when he cast salt into the bitter waters of Jericho, both the waters and the barren land were healed.

The good news is that the New Testament has brought to light a deeper truth, hallelujah! The LORD declared, “Ye are the salt of the earth…” (Matthew 5:13).

It is you that brings restoration to that which is defiled and impure.

Child of GOD, the moment you set foot on a land that is struggling, it must be healed.

If you are hired by a business that is on a downward spiral, its status must take an upward trend because you are the “salt” of that business. Praise GOD!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Child of GOD, the moment you set foot on a land that is struggling, it must be healed. If you are hired by a business that is on a downward spiral, its status must take an upward trend because you are the “salt” of that business. Praise GOD!

PRAYER: My GOD I am grateful for who I am in you. Your Word has taught me to live this life as a victor and never a victim, as a solution and never a complainer. Today I walk in the understanding that I am the answer to the issues around me. That struggling business is waiting for me; that failing institution is waiting for me; the government is waiting for me. When I show up in places, things change. When I set my foot in any nation things start to get in order. I am the salt! I am the solution! I am the answer! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
