The very moment when someone tries to put Jesus in a box, He walks right out of it and leaves us with the box itself. With the box just being a void structure, it resonates emptiness and darkness. It is when the Light of the world is not present, everything else that tries to be a substitute of our Lord, leaves us a sense of profound unsatisfaction. There is nothing like the real deal.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
- Matthew 5:13 [NIV]

What use is salt when it loses its saltiness? And to every branch that does not produce, God cuts it off, so that those who does bear fruit will bear even more fruit! What is if you have the best burning candle, but it is hidden under a cover where no one can see? However, we have been called to be the city on a hill that cannot be hidden.

To quote the words of Ps Peter Tsukahira when he was speaking in a conference called 'My Father's Business', there are lots of things in this world that wants to take away the power and authority that God has given us as His children. God has instituted that we observe the Sabbath, and what is Sabbath? - It is a day of complete rest. Now why do you think God commands us to observe the Sabbath? Mind you, it's not a good suggestion, nor a proposal that God presents to man. It is in fact a command. This is because we need to prepare ourselves to be the church that God has called us to be in the rest of the seven days. The devil recognises the power that God has given us, hence he has put distractions in our midst, wrong mindsets and a skewed worldview of how the world perceives us as Christians. Oh, we should not talk about God in the workplace. What if we upset our bosses, let's be quiet and just go about doing our own work and as long as we don't hurt nobody, that's OK. What a lie that the devil has planted in the minds of Christians.

There are lots of things that will take us away from being the salt and light that God talks about. The devil has put distractions both inward and outward in order for us to be ineffective for the gospel. All of these things keep pushing Christians further and further backward into a dark corner. And this corner has a name it's called - Sunday. Yes, as long as we don't hurt nobody in the workplace by mentioning that Name then we're OK. We could choose to accept this lie or break out of the box Satan is putting us in. You see, I figure, the enemy is happy as long as we are enclosed in the four walls of the church. He might say I don't really care what you do in the church, you can jump as high as you want, lift up your hands higher than anyone else. You can talk about God within those four walls, as long as you don't make any form of impact in the community, that's OK!

However, it is when we step out of the air-conditioned, carpeted and padded seats of our church and we talk about Jesus like He's the only thing that matter to us. And we talk about God to our friends and family like He's coming back tomorrow, then the devil is trembling. Why? That's simply because we're creating some serious damage in the kingdom of darkness. We are being the salt that regains its saltiness by preserving the lives of others and we're being the light that lifts the cover off of us and start shining in places where God is taboo. We begin to remind our Father of the time when Moses walked to Pharaoh and said let my people go! Only this, time, we buckle up, we put our shield and sword in place and we march down that long and dirty path to the gates of Hades. We continually hit our swords againts our shields, sounding an unmistakable alarm for war to Satan himself. Could you hear the sound of an army of God gathering at the old, rusty gates and they're shouting:

Let my people go!
