READ: JOHN 16:6-14
The common
salt is so easily affordable yet it is indispensable. Salt performs several
functions in every household. It adds taste to meals and prevents items from
decaying. It also freshen things. Today, we shall examine what salt stands for.
Salt is symbol of the Holy Spirit. Salt is pure and the Holy Spirit is pure.
Salt is white and the symbol of holiness is white. Salt is beautiful and I am
sure you will agree with me that the Holy Spirit is beautiful. Salt is powerful
and the Holy Spirit is powerful. Even a child knows that salt brings sweetness.
This is why I pity those who do not eat salt, for whatever reason. Salt cannot
kill. There is nowhere in the Bible where we are told not to eat salt. The Holy
Spirit acts like salt. The Holy Spirit brings sweetness into lives. The Holy
Spirit replaces sorrow with joy. In John 16:7, the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter.
Salt is a fertiliser, even though it may be expensive. It makes plants grow.
The Holy Spirit makes the barren fruitful when brought into contact with Him.
Salt is a disinfectant. Salt can be used to keep a wound clean from
contamination. In the same manner, the Holy Spirit has a way of keeping the
body of Christ healthy by destroying error. Salt prevents decay. The Holy
Spirit has a way of keeping a person or a particular group of people from
degeneration by exposing among them wolves in sheep’s clothing. Salt in a
healing agent, and if you allow the Holy Spirit to come into your life, He will
replace your illness with health. Salt preserves life. The Holy Spirit replaces
death with life. Medical doctors and scientist agree on the fact that salt is good
and that it makes good whatever it comes in contact with, in a pleasant way. The
Holy Spirit is also good and if you come in contact with Him, you will become
blessed. You will also become a source of blessing.
MEMORIZE:
JOHN 14:26 –But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My
name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things
that I said to you.
