2 Kings 5:14 (King James Version)

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

Naaman was a commander of a great Kingdom. He had brought many victories, but he had contracted an incurable disease, leprosy. He came to Elisha. Elisha was the prophet at the time. Elisha told him to go and dip in the Jordan river seven times and on the seventh time he would be healed. The only problem was the Jordan River was at the time the dirtiest river.

Naaman said can’t I go to another river and do it. No replied Elisha. The key to success in our life is obeying exactly what God has spoken. He has the exact plan and strategy to accomplish what he has placed in our heart. Naaman walked away because it was not the way he wanted to receive his healing. This meant that death in his life was going to happen.

How many times does God instruct us to do something that will give Him glory? God was humbling Naaman. Finally, Naaman went and dipped in the water seven times and on the seventh time came out purified.

Don’t stop obeying what God has spoken for you to do until you get what you have set out to do. If Naaman had stopped at the 6th time, he would not have received his healing. Partial obedience is still disobedience.

What have or are you asking God for? What has He spoken for you to do? Do it UNTIL what you are believing for happens.

Remember our success is predicated upon our obedience of what He has spoken.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark
