"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 (Matt. 5:13 NKJV).
We are still looking at some of the outstanding attributes
of salt in order to better understand who we ought to be as salt of the
earth. During winter, snow falls everywhere including roads for
vehicular movement. It could get so bad that if not properly managed,
some roads will become completely inaccessible. In order to control this
phenomenon, salt is applied to the roads to melt the ice and stop the
ice from building up easily.
There are several cold situations that desperately need the
application of our salt in order to thaw and become natural. It is the
iciness of the devil that has possessed the heart of the Boko Haram
suicide bomber, the heartless assassin, the armed robber, fraudulent
government official etc.
When we release the salt that we carry (the love of
Christ), these evil hearts will melt and accept Christ Jesus. Their
stony hearts will be replaced with a heart of flesh….hallelujah!!
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within
you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a
heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26 NKJV)
We are the agents of this great surgery that only God can
do. We are those to make sure that the icy stony hearts are melted and
ensure that they do not harden again. We do this by evangelizing and
praying for the lost; by loving them.
Prayer Point
Lord, please endue me grace and love for the lost. I want to partner with You as You transform the hearts of men from stone to a heart of flesh.
