RIVER JORDAN OR DEAD SEA?
*What is the difference between the River Jordan and the Dead Sea?*
The River Jordan receives its water from three principal sources, all of which rise at the foot of Mount Hermon. After receiving, the River Jordan does not keep the water but runs it down to the Dead Sea.
Contrary to the River Jordan which receives and gives out, the Dead Sea takes water from the River Jordan, and holds it. It does not give. Result? No life at all. That's why it is called Dead Sea.
In the River Jordan water comes in and water goes out. However, the Dead sea is in “receive only” mode. All water flows in, and none flows out. It happens therefore that One sea is full of flow… the other sea, full of woe.
WHAT DOES IT TEACH US TODAY?
1st lesson : The dead sea mentality is a mentality of poverty and mediocrity. It is a selfish mentality of those who expect only to receive from others and never give to others
2nd lesson : The dead sea mentality is not for blessed people. It is a mentality of cursed people.
3rd lesson : No one with a dead sea mentality can ever be happy and experience open heaven because the Lord himself says, "... It is more blessed to give than to receive." ( *Acts 20:35*)
2nd lesson : The dead sea mentality is not for blessed people. It is a mentality of cursed people.
3rd lesson : No one with a dead sea mentality can ever be happy and experience open heaven because the Lord himself says, "... It is more blessed to give than to receive." ( *Acts 20:35*)
4th lesson : The River Jordan is a life-giving source of fresh water and fish. When we give what we have received (teachings, daily devotions, money, spiritual gifts, time, smile, prayer, ...), we flourish; when we hoard we perish.
CONFESSION
CONFESSION
I'm blessed to bless. I refuse, I renounce and break the mentality and the curse of the Dead Sea in my life. Make me a Jordan to others around me in the Name of Jesus Christ!
SO SHALL IT BE!
JESUS IS LORD!
