NEGLECTING INSPIRED DECISION; SHE BECAME A LEPER

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.
