Isaiah 2:2 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
’DAILY READING – • Acts 22:30-23:22; Judges 19; Psalm 44
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth.
The Dead Sea is a salt lake located in the Judean desert of southern Israel, bordered by Jordan to the East. It is also called the Sea of Death, Salt Sea, and Sea of Lot.
The Dead Sea is landlocked and cut off from supply of water from the ocean. It is fed by the waters of freshwater springs and aquifers. Due to lack of outflow, the water gathered in the Dead Sea evaporates in the hot desert, leaving behind salt.
The sea is called “dead” because its extreme saltiness means no life can exist in it. The Dead Sea’s water is about 10 times saltier than normal ocean water.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about the sea, is that it is almost impossible for anyone to drown in it. Because its salt water is denser than the human body, no one can sink in it. With its extremely high mineral content, the water is said to have healing benefits, and doctors even prescribe a visit to the Dead Sea as part of natural healing for their patients. The deposits of black mud, from its seabed, are found to be beneficial to the skin. Tourists from around the globe flock to this hypersaline phenomenon, making the Dead Sea the biggest natural free spa on earth.
The Dead Sea is unique because it has the highest concentration of salt of any body of water in the world.
This high presence of salt and its beneficial qualities attracts people from all over the world yearly to visit the Dead Sea.
Indeed salt is a very powerful element in nature and an essential part of man’s health and existence on earth.
In Mathew 13-14, Jesus says we are the salt of the earth.
The two main functions of salt are preservation and adding taste. Being the salt of the earth; means we are designed to preserve humanity from decadence and to give taste to the tasteless world.
As salt of the earth, many destinies are meant to be preserved through us.
As believers in these end-times, we have been sent into this generation by divine design to preserve lives.
God has ordained us to be part of glorious army that He is raising in these last days . Among these army shall be Elijahs – deciding the destinies of nations! There will be Samuels, anointing and appointing kings.
Right in the midst of gloominess and gross darkness of the last days, God is raising a body of believers who will command signs and wonders and manifest His power for the deliverance and preservation of humanity. This is God’s plan for the church.
Romans 8:29-30 tells us that every child of God is a child of destiny. Not just any kind of destiny, but a glorious destiny. As believers in these last days, we are part of the glorious Church which God has designed to be established at the top and exalted above the nations.
Isaiah 2:2 says ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.’
To remain a part of this glorious assembly, let us live revived and ready through a lifestyle of diligent study of the Word, fasting, fervent prayers and passionate worship. Certainly, in the end-times, Heaven is about to release the Church into the fullness of her redemptive colour! God is about to enthrone believers with supernatural authority, to reign in their field of endeavor.
Unfortunately, some believers may miss their place in this army due to lack of spiritual discipline or toying with sin.
To be part of the glorious Church means there will be ‘no wrinkle or spot’ in us. Therefore, let us determine to live in purity and holiness through daily drawing strength from seeking God in His Word and prayers.
Especially in these period of fasting and praying let us bring every spiritual weakness and struggle with sin, before God’s throne of grace so as to receive the needed grace and mercy to overcome.
No matter the cost, let us strive to live spiritually revived so as to be part of this glorious army who will be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to be spiritually sensitive to Your every leading, so that I can take my place in Your great army. Through the manifestation of Your power, I shall indeed live as a salt and light to my generation in Jesus’ Name.
