Introduction
A little over a week ago I was teaching at the middle school on the topic of obedience.
Obedience is something that is important to people of any age, we are required by God to live in obedience, and in doing so we find more than success we actually find the blessings of life.
I want to take you back to the person of Naaman and just be reminded of the lessons that are there for us to see and enjoy there....
So lets take our Bibles and lets go to
In this chapter I just want us to look at verse 1
Now as you can see there is a lot of information packed into this one verse...
Naaman is a great man, and he has found favor with His king, but I want you to see that even the Bible say that God showed him favor in giving him victory over their enemies.
What might that tell us?
Why would God show a gentile favor?
And of course the Bible tells us that He has a problem, He was a leper.
Now during this day and time, having a disease like this was a terrible problem.
But in all truth for us today, this disease is just a reminder that humanity has needs....
You are a sinner
Daily issues _________ We need Divine help.... each day!
Other problems..
Now you know Naaman longed to be well, there is not a person alive who being sick, ill doesn’t wish to be well.
Our passage tells us of hope, there is a slave girl who knows someone who can help… look at verses 2-5
2 Kings 2:2
So appears to have been treated well, or perhaps she just wants to help or hopes to be free, we do not know the motivation, But she has the right information for this man.
There is a man of God in Samaria, a prophet.
What does that say to us....
We have a message of hope, healing and yes deliverance for all who would but hear .......
Can you compaire yourself to the slave girl?
I can....
Now moving on we find that Naaman tells his King and by all means the Bible tells us the King of Syria gave Naaman permission,
and so Naaman goes but and takes a great gift with him....
but upon arriving and appearing to the King of Israel, the King is not to happy to have Naaman in his presence…Why?
but upon arriving and appearing to the King of Israel, the King is not to happy to have Naaman in his presence…Why?
Now the prophet of God, Elisha knew what was happening and sends word for the king of Israel to send Naaman to him that he might be healed and so Naaman and his enturoge make their way to the place where Elisha is ..
Now the prophet of God
But Elisha only send his servant out to Naaman with the instructions on how he might be made well...
Listen to the text
2 KIngs 5:
It seems pretty straight forward… go and do.
Yet Naaman is upset
let me ask you a question, if you could name a couple of things, what is keeping Naaman from responding to the message of God’s man,
Pride
Faith
Frustration in not seeing Elisha
But then suddenly we find that a lowly servant speaks to Naaman/...
Obedience brought blessings.....
