NAAMAN

2 Kings 5v1-14 There are alot of lessons from Naaman's story. I want us to look at how God brings people into our lives to be a channel of our blessings. Naaman was a commander of King Aram's army. He had an Israel slave girl for his wife. They got this slave girl at a time when the Arameans invaded Israel. Naaman had leprosy which is incurable in most cases. This slave girl, working as his house maid was the one who had information on how his leprosy can be healed. I would also say that this girl had faith because not everyone who knows of a healing story can actually go and preach that to the sick. Again she had the courage to speak and i even wonder how many times she had rehearsed to get the right approach, i mean to get the attention without offending her mistress. Its rare for house maids to be involved in such kind of discussions with their mistresses, and this one was a slave taken during a war. Those who have watched the film called THE ROOTS(Kunta Kinte), it shows how African slaves were being treated, including those selected to work as house maids, you would agree with me that it was not easy to start sharing such kind of information though it was important. Normally a slave is voiceless, he cannot give instruction to his master. I say this was a divine connection for Naaman to get his miracle. The news got the King of Aram that there is a man of God in Israel, who can pray for Naaman and get healed of his leprosy. The slave girl had assured Naaman's wife and insisted that a prophet in her land would pray to God and Naaman's leprosy will be cured. King Aram sent Naaman to the King of Israel with a letter of introduction. The bible says that on verse 7 of 2Kings chapter 5 that the king of Israel tore his clothes in dismay, he thought the king of Aram is looking for touble again, a war or something. This goes back to the point of saying the slave girl had much faith, that is why God used her as a connection. The King knew about Elisha, he was a Elijah's sevant and everybody knew about Elijah, a prophet who could bind rain for three years. King Jehoshaphat of Judah had been consulting Elisha during wars involving kings of Israel(2kings3v11), in short Elisha was known as a prophet of God in all Israel and Judah during that time of Naaman. The King of Israel did not simply believe that Elisha could pray for leprosy as well that is why he tore his clothes in confusion.

DIVINE CONNECTIONS

God arranges for people to come into our lives for various reasons. They can be a channel to our blessings, but not everyone can recognise that, many times we miss our opportunities. God can use people very low in the society to carry out this mission. A common villager can be the one holding a vital information on how we can get our miracles or they are a link to our breakthroughs.

WHERE DO WE START FROM?

Is is God who arranges these meetings and who puts these connections in place because he knows our needs. Therefore the starting point should be getting to know him, build up a good relationship with him, in short first get connected to God and he will do the rest. After getting to know him and it will be easy to treat all people the same in the society and learn that everyone has a vital role to play. If Naaman had ignored the slave talking because she was not important to be held then he would have remained with his leprosy. Please read the whole story and meditate upon it, you will learn how God gave him a lesson of humbleness. He was told by the messager of the prophet to wash himself in the River Jordan. There was a character in Naaman which God was dealing with. I love this God!
