You’re Nature as The Word 3: Light & Salt!

Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Substitute that….into this….

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

After that let’s go deeper…

Psalms 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Did you know that to many, you are The Word they know! Many people may not have heard of Jesus, but you carry Him in you! Meaning, you’re their bridge to Jesus! Your love toward them, could be the only Jesus they see…

Since you are born of the Word, you are Word in flesh! You carry the Word of God!You’re a moving Bible. The entrance of your words gives light as well! Do you have friends who run to you all the time when they are in trouble, worried!? When they don’t know what to do!

I do! I have those friends! But I always give them the right word (Isa 50:4) because of my nature! They then regain light, for the darkness had tried to cover up their day! To most, the bible will be far away! And the closest word of God they know is you! On top of that, it’s already your nature!

And for that part that states giveth understanding to the simple… I can also explain! Your Nature as the Word, makes you an answer to the world’s biggest problems!

At my church I’m a call counsellor. We check on various members of the church via a phone call, and we find out how they are doing—and also pray for them!

The numbers I’m given range from teenagers, university students, getting-married-soons, marrieds & singles. Generally anyone could have anything to pray for out of your league and experience, but the nature steps in!

I find myself giving the right advice to men & women older than me, in their various categories. Whether married, or aspiring to…and the advice is on-point! If I’m to brag, I’ll brag about The Word! It’s what’s made me that!

Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Firstly, it’ll be hard being the light of the world yet you seek light yourself! His word’s entrance brings light! After that, that light consumes you and you become it…(Multiplying effect)

When you become it, you help men find their way! You can’t be hidden! When men are lost, you’re their light back to restoration and reconciliation as sons & daughters of God! They could be in a dark tunnel but you are the light they see at the end of the tunnel—all because of your nature as The Word!

You give them courage to go on! You give them strength to persevere! Your smile can’t be hidden from them! Your wealth can’t be hidden from them! You see, at the end of the day…they’ll ask you ‘How come you’re always happy & rich?’

The trick about your Nature being The Word is. . .when they ask, you’ll point them to the word! You’ll teach them of it! You’ll tell them to apply themselves to the Word of God, until that revelation hits them…

And when they walk in that knowledge, they’ll attract more lost souls! Until every one starts moving As The Word in Flesh! That’s why you knowing your nature as The Word, that’s why you immersing yourself in God’s word daily, is beyond significant!

Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men.

How about your nature as the salt of the world? Salt preserves food! Salt makes food edible as well! Do you know why Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt? She represents what you are to this world! A Preservative! Once Lot and his family left Sodom, that’s when God destroyed it!

The preservative had left! The food went bad! So is it today! We are still here, so the world is being preserved! It’s not going stale or bad! If the preaching of the gospel stops, we cut off the multiplying effect! We cut off the ability to make more salts allover the world!

And it’s funny having salt in only one spot of the food! It has to be saturated! (That’s why church planting is important. That’s why preaching through media makes it easy as you’re edifying the saltness of Saints in different places of the world through one avenue)

Our being here, makes God able to glance at the world tolerably inspite of the sin elsewhere. Your nature as the Word, will make you discover how precious your saltness is…and how to retain it, you gatta dwell in The Word!!!
