…Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. (2 Chronicles 20:20)
In 2 Kings 5, we read about Naaman, a commander of the Army of the King of Syria, a great man held in the highest esteem, a mighty man of valour, but he was a leper. Upon hearing about Prophet Elisha of Israel, from his maid servant, he went to see him with the faith to get healed. But, Prophet Elisha didn’t meet him instead he sent a message through his servant to tell Namaan saying: “…Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean” (2 Kings 5:10). Initially angry upon Elisha for not directly meeting him, Namaan finally getting convinced followed the instructions of the prophet, and just when he finished his seventh dip in the Jordan, Bible says: “…his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean”( 2 Kings 5:14). That’s the power of following the instruction of an anointed.
Imagine if Namaan remained angry, he would have missed his miracle. That’s, the tragedy with many today, when they put their faith into a particular matter, and as they pray; God sends them instructions through their Man of God, but they often refuse to accept it. Hence, they miss their miracle. Let that not be your case.
The instruction that follows your faith prayer is always God’s answer to your faith. Make sure to not miss it. Give value to the instructions from anointed one.
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me the power of instruction for working out my faith. I resolve to follow every instruction that I receive from my anointed ones. My faith produces results bringing glory to God’s kingdom, in Jesus Name. Amen!
