In this scripture, I would like to admonish us as Children of God, please read with understanding
2 Kings 5:10
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
2 Kings 5:11
But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
A lot of people out of pride have lost what they should have gotten from the Lord
You are the one that needs help, you get to where you will receive the help you came for, but because you were not given the treatment or the accolade you are expecting, you got angry and left the place of your breakthrough
Naaman had leprocy yet because he was a commander in the army he felt he should be given preferential treatment, power of pride
Listen to this, God is not a respecter of person’s, when you come to God, for you to get what you want, become like a Child, humble yourself
Naaman went away angry, left the presence of his breakthrough just because of his worldly position, strip yourself of any atom of pride when you are before God
The instruction was a very simple one, which did not require any acrobatic gymnastics, “Go and wash in Jordan seven times” but the problem was he came with a mentality of how people give him respect anywhere he goes, but he got a shocker
The man of God that he came to see with his lieutenant did not even come out to see him, but he sent his messenger to give him instructions to “Go and wash in Jordan seven times”
I pray for you, may you not walk away from your day of visitation in the name of Jesus Christ
Naaman said “I thought he would surely come out to me” see the Spirit of pride talking
And that is how most people are looking at genuine servants of God
Men of God are not called to do the bidding of men, we are called by God to do His will, it is what God tells us to do that we do, not what men wants us to do
Isaiah 55:8,9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Child of God, When God gives you an instruction, the instruction is for your benefit, please I beg you follow it, why? Because God sees the end from the beginning
I pray for you your breakthrough will enter your hands in Jesus Name
God bless you
Apostle Adams Maji
