TO THE SALTLESS SALT - Use Me Series 004
READ Judges 16
Matthew 5:13, KJV
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
It is a saltless salt that we call 'good for nothing'. One which has no more value but to be thrown out and useless by men. It is a dog that can't bite that is dared. If the saltless salt however receives his savour back, who sure can face it to embarrass same? Today, God is coming for ministers that have been shaven. Condemned prisoners or patients in wards. For as many whose case has been signed and sealed to have ended, such like you is set to witness the rise of an army. A great come back! A recalling back to the former days! It happened to the dry bones that none thought could be called back to stand on their two feet. Their former state vacated when breath entered into them. Today, the slain and long forgotten soldiers in the sand of time who were once on God's mountain shall be restored. Your place you shall again take. Reinstatement to what you use to do and who you use to be is happening now in Jesus name.
Samson was shaven. At the Spirit's departure, he was captured and then reduced to a none entity. Instead of being in the field wrecking havoc on God's enemy, he was in the prison grinding. Purpose and assignment always change once anointing is lost. They disarmed him to the extent that he needed help to be led. Samson acknowledged his fault. He didn't argue not sinning. He begged rather for God's remembrance as to be able to do like the former days and be a useful vessel even once again in his dilapidated state. This, the Lord must have granted him. The mistake the enemy also made to aid him made a come back was to only cut Samson's hair and not his throat. Therefore making him a living dead. Like we know, no condition is hopeless if there's still life.
Ecclesiastes 9:4, KJV
"For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion."
He was in this condition until his hair began to grow. An appearance of unsuspected hope where it had been cut off. This is how at the scent of water, Samson bud up again. Have you lost your anointing? Have you by so many persuasions being assured it has ended for you? Who knows whether if you yourself is asked whether your dry bones could live, you'll say in disbelief and caution as not to be termed unbelieving that "only God knows?"
Even if it has gotten there, it has not if your life has not been cut off. Even in that most critical condition, the lifeless bones still lived. The hopeless can still receive hope also. He came for Samson and his last day exploit surpassed all he had done in total ahead of time. Can you find a place to grab the horns of the altar like Joab did and cry to the Rekindler of hope to snap you awake once and forever more. The work is yours to do. This is grace hour. God's ears are opened to receive your petition. It is now "ask of me the heathen and I'll make them your inheritance". Find a place to crest or lean on, fall off your face and let Him know you've tasted how it is being without the Spirit. Let Him know you'll cherish Him than before if He comes back. Your education is now full. Nothing lacking. A broken and a contrite heart, He doesn't reject.
PRAYER: [For others]. Lord, let me not learn the value of the Spirit by first losing it. May a season in ward not make me cherish freedom. May time in hospital not make me cherish good health and walk in such advantage.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Ezekiel 40:28-41:26, James 4:1-17, Psalm 118:19-29, Proverbs 28:3-5
