BIBLE READING:Â Genesis 49-50

Salt is a substance that gives flavour to food. Salt can also be used as preservative. It also has the ability to kill and destroy organisms. A meal without salt is tasteless.
Out Lord Jesus liken a believer to salt, which simply means as believers, we are to give taste to the world. Though we are in the world, we are not of the world. We are here to give flavour to the earth. God is to restore the original glory of the earth through the believer.
He cannot come down from His throne to earth but His words in the life is a man who is completely yielded to Him is reflected on the earth, hence the emphasis on the believers’ saltiness.
How then can a believer exhibit the qualities of a salt? Simple! Colossians 4 :6; says, “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man”.
A believer is not allowed to speak like the people of the world. Your speech should minister life unto a dying soul by that you have prevent someone from committing sin. When the counsel of a Christian leads to the destruction of a soul, then that Christian has lost his saltiness.
As salt, you are to give taste and preservation to the earth.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray now, I arise as the salt of the earth.
