THE WISDOM OF GOD (PART 1)

NOVEMBER 11TH

TEXT: 2 Kings 5:9-14Amplified Bible (AMP)

9 So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stopped at the entrance of Elisha’s house. 

10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored to you and you will be clean.” 

11 But Naaman was furious and went away and said, “Indeed! I thought ‘He would at least come out to [see] me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place [of leprosy] and heal the leper.’ 

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus [in Aram], better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage. 

13 Then his servants approached and said to him, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he has said to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’” 

14 So he went down and plunged himself into the Jordan seven times, just as the man of God had said; and his flesh was restored like that of a little child and he was

Beloved, sometimes, in life we need to act as though we are foolish to be able to see the glory of God manifest in our lives. Some times we need the child-like trust to be able to see divine instructions become divine manifestation. At first this will look like a waste of time, but they often leads us into the fulfilment of our destiny. God is willing to settle your destiny and cause you to rise to a place of glory if you will be willing to leave your wisdom for that which looks foolish in your eyes.

It is my prayer that you begin to see His glory revealed in your life as you follow divine instructions. We have seen sickness and diseases healed in His presence as people follow simple instructions. When a divine word is given, grace is released to make the impossible become possible. Some times, people actually get their miracles as the act in obedience to the word of God. In the same meeting where some persons are waiting for the man of God to touch them some others are quick to follow simple instructions to walk not their blessings. Our text for today is a good example. Please don’t let your wisdom or pride cut you off from the glory of God. Do just what He ask you to do.
