LIVE A SPIRITUAL LIFE OF BEARING FRUITS
The Situation of This City is Pleasant, but The Water is Naught
The people of Jericho discovered exactly why their fruits do not ripen. In the same way, we too need to first discover why we are not able to bear fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Though we may work very hard, still, we cannot bear any fruit by ourselves. Then, just as the people of the city of Jericho went before Elisha, we too will go out to the servant of God. And just as Elisha cast salt in the spring of waters to heal it, the servant of God leads us to put Jesus Christ in the center of our hearts. He leads us to put an end to our works and live our lives through Jesus Christ. If we receive this kind of guidance, then we will be freed from ourselves and begin a new life.
