'Naaman's Pride Broken Through.'
2 Kings 5:10-14.
a) 2 Kings 5:10. Elisha simply sent a messenger to this important man Naaman. (He did not come to meet him)
b) 2 Kings 5:10. The messenger told Naaman:-
1-Wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River.
2-Your flesh will be restored.
3-You will be cleansed.
c) 2 Kings 5:11-12. Naaman's response in pride:-
1-He went away angry.
2-He said that he thought Elisha would surely come out to meet him.
3-He expected Elisha to:-
A-Come out to meet him.
B-Stand and call out to the Lord his God.
C-Wave his hand over the spot.
D-Cure him of leprosy.
4-He compared the Rivers Abana and Pharpar to the Jordan.
5-He wanted to wash in those rivers to be healed - not Jordan.
6-He turned.
7-He went off in a rage.
d) 2 Kings 5:13. Naaman's servants:-
1-Went to him.
2-Spoke to him in an honourable way.
3-Reasoned with him about the words from Elisha.
e) 2 Kings 5:14. Naaman:-
1-Listened to his servants.
2-Dipped himself in the Jordan seven times.
3-Did as the man of God had told him.
4-Had his flesh restored.
5-Became clean like a young boy.
(This Second one teaches me how Naaman's Pride Was Broken Through)

Chris.
Sometimes, just like Naaman, we put more expectation on the Servants of the Lord rather than on the Lord Himself. We think that we need to see the Servant of the Lord even though the Lord Himself has already told us what to do. This is unwise! We should always do what the Lord wants us to do. His Will is most important.
