ISAIAH 49:1-END
PROVERB 16:1-END
Sometimes in life we get entangled in things we are
not supposed to mingle with; because of greediness and covetousness. Think of Gehazi
that went and accepted what his master Elisha rejected and he became a leper:
2 KING 5:20
(20) “Gehazi the attendant of Elisha the man of True
God
Said to
himself: ‘Here my master has spared this Syrian
Naaman
by not accepting from him what he brought.
As
surely as Jehovah is living, I will run after him
And
take something from him
(21) So Gehazi chased after Naaman. When Naaman
saw
someone running after him, he got down from
his
chariot to meet him and said: “I s everything all
right?
(22) To this he said: “All is well. My master has sent
me,
Saying,
look! Just now two young men from the
Mountainous region of Ephraim from the sons of the
Prophets
came to me. Give them, please, a talent
Of silver
and two changes of garments
(23) Naaman said: “Go on, take two talents.” He kept
Urging
him, and he wrapped up two talents of
Silver in
two bags, with two Changes of garments
And gave
them to two of his attendants, who
carried
them before him
(24) when he reached Ophel he took them from their
hand and
put them in the house and sent the men
away. After they left
(25) he went in and stood by his master. Elisha now
said
To him: “Where did you come from, Gehazi? But
He said:
“Your servant did not go anywhere.”
(26) Elisha said to him: “was my heart not there with
You when
the man got down from his chariot to
meet you? Is it a time to accept silver or
to accept
garments or olive grooves or vineyards or
sheep
or cattle or male or female servants?
(27) Now
Naaman’s leprosy will stick to you and your
Descendants
forever” Immediately he went out
From
before him a leper, white as snow.”
This serves as a warning to those that disrespect
God’s servants and Holy things; on another occasion is Miriam, the sister of
Moses, she accused Moses and jealous for marrying a
Cushite Woman and anger of God descended on her and she became a leper.
NUMBERS
12:1-10
(1)
“Now Miriam
and Aaron began to speak against
Moses because of the Cushite wife he had
married,
for he had taken a Cushite wife
(2)
They were
saying: “Is it only by Moses that Jehovah
has spoken? Has he not also spoke
through us? And
Jehovah was listening.
(3)
Now the man
Moses was by far the meekest of all
the men on the face of the earth.
(4)
Jehovah
suddenly said to Moses and Aeron and Miriam
“Go out, the three of you, to the tent
of meeting.” So the
three of them went out
(5)
And Jehovah
came down in the pillar of cloud and stood
At the entrance of the tent and called
Aaron and Miriam.
Both of them went forward
(6)
He then said:
“Hear my words, please. If there was a
Prophet of Jehovah among you, I would
make myself
Known to him in a vision, and I would
speak to him
In a dream
(7)
But it is not
that way with my servant Moses! He is
Being entrusted with all my house
(8)
Face-to-face
I speak to him, openly, not by riddles;
and appearance of Jehovah is what he
sees. Why,
then, did you not fear to speak against
my servant,
against Moses?
(9)
So Jehovah’s
anger burned against them, and he
departed from them
(10)
The cloud
moved away from over the tent, and look!
Miriam was struck with leprosy as white
as snow,
Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and he saw that
She was struck with leprosy
(11)
Immediately,
Aaron said to Moses “I beg you, my lord!
Please do not hold this sin against us!
We have
Acted foolishly in what we have done
This is why we should respect God and his servants to
include his word; It is not good to pay around with Holy things of God, people
who are in such position of playing with God should learn from past experience,
think of King Uzzaiah who out of pride and arrogant entered the temple to burn
incense meant for only duty to the priest to perform and he became a leper:
2
CHRONICLE 26:16-21
(16) “However, as soon as he was strong, his heart
became
haughty to his own ruin, and he acted
unfaithfully against Jehovah His God by entering
the
temple of Jehovah to burn incense on the
altar
of incense
(17) Immediately Azariah the priests of Jehovah went
In after him
(18) They confronted King Uzzaiah and said to him:
“It is not proper for you, Uzziah, to burn
incense
To
Jehovah! It is only the priests who burn incense
For they
are the descendants of Aaron, those who
Have been
sanctified. Go out from the sanctuary,
For you
have acted unfaithfully and you receive
You will
receive no glory from Jehovah God for this,”
(19) But Uzziah who had a censer in his hand to burn
Incense,
became enraged; and during the rage
Against
the priest, leprosy broke out of his
Forehead in the presence of the priests in the
house of
Jehovah Next to the altar of Incense”
(20) When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests
Turned
towards him, they saw that he had been
Stricken
with Leprosy in his forehead! So they
Rushed;
so they rushed him out of there, and
He himself
hurried out, because Jehovah had
struck
him”
(21) King Uzziah remained a leper until the day
of his
death, and he kept staying in a separate
house as a
leper, for he had been excluded from
house of
Jehovah. His son Jotham was in charge
of King’s house judging the people of the land”
what are we trying to learn from this? It is better
you don’t go to house of God than you go and make sacrifices of a fool. Today,
people don’t respect God’s Holy place any longer because grace had been made
available through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Remember that all above mention are servants of God
but in different dimension, but it is good you discover you own dimension and
stick to it, don’t trespass and step on other’s toes. Today also some people
are going about with different leprosy, what is your own leprosy like? Your own
leprosy may be as a result of neglecting the inspired decision which is the
word of God through the Holy Ghost. And that is the key every King will like to
get so that he will not betray Justice in the land:
PROVERB 16:10
(10) “Inspired decision should be on the
lips of a king
He must never betray Justice”
It is time for people to respect God and His anointed
one; so you don’t become victim unknown leprosy. The leprosy may be unknown
problem as a result of disobedient to God’s word. Read up PROVERB 4:1-END. Remained blessed.
