I got this from Eunicee...I wanna share it here cos it makes so much sense!
Naamon. He’s such a funny guy. I wanted to laugh just reading the passage in 2Kings 5:1-14.
Here’s the story. Naamon is a really successful man. The King likes him, he has won battles, etc. But there’s just one thing, he’s a leper. He heard about Elisha, who can cure leprosy, and he wants to be cured! So he travels that place, with his chariots and horses, looking very grand. When he reaches that place, Elisha asked him to dip himself in Jordan 7 times.
But he refused. Here’s what he was thinking,”Why can’t Elisha just wave his hands around me, and say some magic words to heal me?! Instead, he’s asking me to dip myself SEVEN times in the Jordan?!” His servants managed to persuade him to dip himself in the water, and he was healed.
Okay, so that was the story, summarized. I know that the summary isn’t that good, so its best that you read the passage la huh! And here’s what I thought about it!
1. Naamon came to Elisha with all his horses and his chariots. It’s got such a grand feeling, you can just tell that he’s brought his best, just to see Elisha. He brought loads of silver and gold as well. It was as if he was expecting something. So he gives, and he expects something in return.
It’s like us when we serve in our ministries isn’t it? We put our best foot forward, and we expect something from God as well.
Not only did Naamon expect something, he expected God to work in the way he wanted God to work! Like us too huh? Like how we do stuff in ministry and we expect God to perform in a particular way.
We’re trying to define God. We’re boxing Him up.We’re setting God limits. We’re limiting our expections as well.We get angry when God doesn’t come in the way we expect Him to come. When we do that, God doesn’t come through for us, because we don’t allow Him to. The same way God couldn’t come through for Naamon, because he refused to dip himself in the Jordan 7 times.
It was only when Naamon let go of his own expectations of the situation, could God work his wonders. So let’s try and let go of our expectations in our situations, and let God come through for us instead! Let us allow ourselves to trust in God, and allow Him to surprise us with His ways.
2. I realised also through this passage that God loves to empower people! Elisha could have told Naamon himself, but he chose to ask his servant to pass the message instead.
You see, God choose to use people, the same way Elisha used his servant to speak to Naamon. Through empowering the servant, Elisha allowed the servant to celebrate God’s work, by allowing him to be a part of the healing process. I know that it’s the good to do things ourselves, but it is way better having another person to help you.
3. Leprosy, it attacks your entire physical being right? I thought about it and likened it to sin, like how sin attacks our soul. And it bites and chews off bit by bit, till there's nothing left.
Washing in the Jordan takes on a whole different meaning for me. It really reminds me of us, being drenched in God’s love. Of us, being immersed in his love. And through that love, we’re saved, we’re restored, we’re healed. In the end, Naamon’s flesh was restored to that of a child.
And it strongly reminded me of how whenever we repent or when we run back to Christ, he extends the invitation for us to be his children again. In fact, the invitation is always open, never closed.
God loves you.
So yes, yeah I do feel very agreeable on whatever she mentioned and typed about, like it can really really relate into our lifes at time, and God's always on our side, praise you oh God!
