Kings 5
Dear Saints,
Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 5.
The lesson learned secondly today is;
never try to take credit or reward for God’s or another man’s work. Interestingly
enough a small act of greed gave Gehazi leprosy in this chapter. “25 He went in and
stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been,
Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26 But he said to him,
“Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it
a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and
oxen, male servants and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman
shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his
presence a leper, like snow.” 2 Kings 5:25-27 English Standard Version
(ESV). When God does a work through
you be sure God gets all the glory. The
credit for God or anyone else’s work is not ours to take. The first miracle was the curing of leprosy. Elisha who delivered the directions wouldn’t
go to Naaman. He wanted God to get all
the glory for healing Naaman. “Do
not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also
reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap
corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap
eternal life.” Galatians 6:7-8 ESV.
You can stand tall and let your light shine as a servant of the one
true God. Please keep the first thing
first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. Jesus gives us more than salvation. He gives us the capability to love our
fellow men so much we’ll try to carry God’s message to them. Let your light shine brightly. Glory to God!

“16
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has
believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and
hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:15-17 ESV.
