READ: EXODUS
20:3-5
My prayer for
you is that at any time the salt of God is required in your life, God will
apply the salt, in Jesus’ name. Elisha went to spring of the river to apply the
salt. Why did he do this? He did so because a curse is like a river. It flows
downwards. When the father is cursed, his children and his grandchildren are
affected by the curse, automatically. In Exodus 20:5, God says: “You
shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a
jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third
and fourth generations of those who hate Me.” Once a father is cursed
the children are in trouble. Fortunately, a blessing is also like a river. If
you deal with a curse on a father at the spring and replace it with a blessing,
all his children will be beneficiaries of the blessing. Why was the salt put in
the cruse? The cruse is an earthen vessel and is almost useless without salt.
Human beings are almost nothing without the Holy Spirit. In fact, Jesus Christ
said that without Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). A look at the origin of
man reveals a fact: “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of
the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living being.” Before the Holy Spirit entered into man he was ordinary
clay. When Adam was being cursed for his sin, God said he was an ordinary dust
and to dust he would return (Genesis 3:19). We thank God that today things have
changed. For those of us baptised in the Holy Spirit, we have the Holy Spirit
living in us. One day, our bodies will be transformed.
MEMORIZE:
GENESIS 2:7 –And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
