GOD IS HEALING THE LAND THROUGH US

2Kings 2:19-22 (NIV)

The people…said to Elisha, “Look, …this town is well situated, …, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive.” “Bring me a new bowl,” … “and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him. … he went out to the spring and threw the salt into it, saying, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.’” And the water has remained pure to this day…*

There are many individuals, organizations and even nations that have found themselves in the predicament stated in our text above. On the outward, things look nice and rosy, but on the inside, things are not just working and people are confused. There is a problem with the water or the raw materials or major resource/system supposed to be providing nourishment and making the place productive, and it seems beyond repair. What Elisha did with the salt in our text above, is what I see God doing through you and me. Elisha asked for salt to be put in a new bowl then he went to the source of the water and poured the salt there. He then declared God’s word of healing over the water and it became pure and stopped causing unproductivity.

We are God’s vessels and we are the salt of the earth. God is pouring and positioning us (His children) as the main solution to various problems in the spaces we find ourselves. We shall radiate the sweetness of God and declare the victory of God over the negative situations and bring permanent solutions into our environment. With our words and Christ-like characters/wisdom, we will bring hope, healing and growth into the lives of others and the places we are located. Our words shall always be with grace and seasoned with salt (Col.4:6). Our words will edify and minister grace to those who hear us, (Eph.4:29).

Prayer:*
Father, thank you for making me your vessel and the salt of the earth. Use me to bring healing into the space you have placed me.
