STOP SEEKING THE SPECTACULAR

May 28, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

2Kings5:11 But Naaman was wroth and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

Naaman was a leprous soldier who has won many battles for his country. His house-help recommended that he should see the prophet of God for healing as the custom was those days. Prophet Elisha gave him a simple prophetic instruction that he should go to the river Jordan and dip himself there seven times but he was angry at the instruction given.

He wanted prophet Elisha to do something spectacular before he could receive his healing. The Naaman attitude is what some of us have when we come to the place of prayer or when we meet with a man of God. We desire that something spectacular be done before we can believe we've gotten our miracles. Some people would desire 'hot prayers' and special vibration whereas miracles only require simple faith. You don't need a whole bottle of oil poured on you for the miraculous to happen.

We miss the miraculous most times because we want to see the spectacular. Some don't believe a demon can come out of them until they shout. Some even believe they must shake their hands,legs&head in a particular way before they can be truly delivered. Naaman obeyed a simple instruction and he got his healing.

You don't need a spectacular manifestation to get your miracle, you only need to put your faith in action to get your desired miracle.

Action point

Father I receive (...mention your desired miracle) In Jesus name. Amen
