Then he went out to the source of the water, and cast in the salt there, and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘I have healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness.’” 2 Kings 2:20
One of my favorite verses in the bible is Matthew 5:13 and 14; “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. This is a key identity pillar for my Christian race. It states clearly the role and purpose of followers of Jesus here on earth.
The value of salt comes out when it is added to something without salt. One of the characteristics of our churches today is the number of programmes - women and men conferences, youth conference, marriage conference, singles conference and many more. It is one thing to equip and build up the brethren for the work of the Kingdom, it is another to be the salt of the earth. A salt is only valuable when added to something that is not salt. All the programme we do for brethren is just adding salt to salt. We are to take our salt outside the building called church and impact our environment positively. The gifts we have been given as salt is for use to transform the blandness of the world around us and bring Kingdom taste to life.
Who are you adding value to? Make a decision to salt the life of an unbeliever with Kingdom blessing.
The question though is, ‘Are you still salty?’

Almighty Father, help me to retain salt in myself and be a salt in the lives of all those that I encounter in the journey of my life. Thank You LORD in the name of Yeshua Christ Jesus. Amen.
