YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH

Matthew 5:12(Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men).

Mark 9:49(For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and peace one with another).

The bible describes us as the salt of the earth; for us to really appreciate that, it is important to know the value of salt. Salt adds flavor to our food and without it our food is tasteless. Salt serves as a preservative agent to keep bacteria away from our food. The deficiency of salt in the human body can cause serious health issues. That means without you and me the human race is incomplete. You are not inconsequential. You can’t continue to look down on yourself because without you, life is incomplete, that is who you are as a redeemed child of God. You have a space to occupy here on earth, so occupy till he comes. You are a danger to the kingdom of darkness because they are the bacteria and you are sent to destroy them and keep them away from your territory. If they touch you they die and if you touch them they die also. Your value cannot be replaced by another person; you are ordained as a highly sought after entity. You are God’s battle axe ordained to cut down every evil tree. In the Old Testament there is what is called A COVENANT OF SALT; that means the children of Israel cannot offer a sacrifice of meat offering unto the LORD without salt (Number 18:19 and Leviticus 2:13). He said with all thine offering thou shalt offer salt. That’s how important salt is to God and that’s how important you are to God and to the world as a covenant child. Salt cannot be ignored; the same goes to you my friend, you cannot be ignored. You can’t afford to lose your saltiness; you need to make yourself relevant because salt without its savor is good for nothing. Keeping it around became a liability and you are ordained an asset.  Anything of no value is trample upon by men. If you don’t make use of yourself they will trample upon you, don’t lose your flavor because if your taste is intact you will be sought out for.  Make yourself valuable, Jesus Christ advises us to have salt in ourselves. You are a living sacrifice you need to retain your saltiness in order to be acceptable by God. You may ask, Nene, how can I retain my saltiness? The power to retain our saltiness has been deposited in us at redemption and it is our responsibility to maintain our relationship with God and stay connected to him because without him we can do nothing. No branch can bear fruit by itself, except it abides in the vine (John 15:4). Jesus Christ is the true vine, so when he advises us to have salt in ourselves he was actually saying that we should have him in us. Jesus in us is what makes us salt and if we lose him we lose our value but that will not be our portion in Jesus name. Friends, do you know why I love Jesus; I love him because there is no close case with him, he is a loving Father. He made a provision, an allowance for our returning back to him just like the prodigal son that lost his flavor. I don’t know where you are now, is it on the floor or under men foot or almost there; the good news is you can reconnect right now and get your flavor back and in case you have not entered into the COVENANT OF SALT with God, this is the right time to do so and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
