      *NEW CRUSE (Part 2)*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  12 January 2024*


SCRIPTURE: And he said, Bring me a New Cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him - *2 Kings‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬*


As discussed yesterday, the City of Jericho had a New Beginning when God stepped in, and the men of the City brought a New Cruse with salt therein.


The New Cruse must not be empty. It must contain salt.


*Why the need for the salt?*


The Chemical name for salt is Sodium Chloride.


Therefore, salt is a Product of Chemical reactions between Sodium and Chlorine.


*When Elisha asked them to put salt in the Cruse, he was expecting them to Present themselves as a Product of  Spiritual reaction with Christ.*


*He was asking them to be transformed men for a New Beginning* - *2 Corinthians 5:17; Matthew 5:13*


*Salt has two Principal Uses:*


*1)* Seasoning.


• We are to bring the best out of People in the world. 


*Salt does not condemn, but  Seasons.*


• A Judgmental Attitude should be Strange to a Believer.


*2)* Preservation 


• We must be People who Preserve the Truth, which is the Word of God rather than Compromising it. 


*This will Provoke a New Beginning.*


*A New Cruse without salt can't Provoke a New Beginning.*


*Prayer:*

Father, in the Name of Jesus, Please let me be the salt of the Earth in Jesus Christ mighty name.

And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
