In the book of 2nd king chapter 5 we read of a story that teaches great lessons.
Elisha,the prophet sent a message to Naaman the leprous Syrian general "go dip yourself 7 times in the River Jordan.
Naman felt his personality was firstly insulted by the prophet who didnt come out to attend to him but sent gehazi to him.Secondly he preferred to dip in the rivers of Syria which seemed more clean ,how can it be phantomed that he (commander of the host of Syrian army) came all the way only to be told go dip in a river, a dirty river jordan. He thought he only needed water but what he needed was a transformation program that would change his entire personality,character content,orientation.
Thank God for the servant of the general who thought him humility 101.and as he went on by humbling himself and dipping himself 7 times into the Jordan river he got his healing.praise God.
The leprosy cleared off ,his body became as smooth as that of a baby .
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future
Hear this
The instruction we obey and comply with 100% determines outcome of important destiny progress.
Wherever God needs you to be in life he places people to guide,lift,persecute,scold,admonish,encourage,intercede and push you, all with purpose to get you to the right place at right time.
Hear this:
The choices are yours to make if you cooperate or turn them to your enemies.
To conquer in life atimes you need to stoop low.if he had mistreated the slave girl in his house she would have withheld the key to his destiny deliverance.
If he had got angry and rode off since elisha didnt come out to attend to him .His leprosy would have remained to limit his destiny.
