MATTHEW 5; 13-16
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
We are to be the salt of the world and a light in darkness Christian. I meditated more on this scripture this morning, and here is what God prompted in my spirit. First of all let’s discuss salt. When I think of salt the first thing that comes to mind is flava (ok flavor but you know what I meant). I purposely used Flava, because that is the urban colloquium we use now to describe our style, the thing that makes you different or you, you! My morning manna message for you all today is to just be who God made you to be in this world; just be who you are in Christ. Here is what I mean. If you can sing, keep singing but sing what you know about Christ and what Christ is doing in your life. This is you showing your light to the world. God gave you a special style of singing, a voice that attracts an audience so use it to be a light to this dark world, to say something that God can use to change someone’s life forever! Ok another example. Maybe you are like me and you are not a singer. Maybe you have a great personality. Maybe your salt is that everyone who meets you is attracted to your bubbly personality. When they do come to you be light of Christ. Do I mean preach to them every time you see them? No, do that only as the spirit leads, but I do mean, continue to exude the fruits of what God is doing in your life. Be trustworthy, patient, kind hearted and everything else God has made you to be in Christ. Bottom line many people believe that God wants you not to be you when we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior. I believe that is the furthest from the truth. I believe God made you the way you are for a reason. To add FLAVA to this world and to attract more people with YOUR LIGHT to the Kingdom of GOD!
