MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Friday June 12,

Topic: Obedience Brings Testimonies
Text: 2 Kings 5:13 – 19
Now
Naaman calmed down after his attendant had persuaded him to try the method
Elisha offered. He did as Elisha instructed and he was cured. In some cases,
servants are sometimes wiser and better advisers to their masters, and they
give better advice, which when followed will be well for them.
What
Elisha commanded was not cumbersome. It was a simply command that seem foolish
in Naaman’s eyes (see 1 Corinthians 2:14; 3:19). Things of God and his commands
are always too simple that most people do not take it serious. Mere words from
Angel Gabriel was all Zachariah needed to have a child. He doubted God and was
punished because God had determined to do it. If not, he would have missed that
opportunity. In Genesis 26:1 – 6, 12 – 14 we have the story of how Isaac obeyed
God and he became an envy of the Philistines.
The
level of your obedience determines the level of your blessings and miracles.
When Naaman obeyed and washed, he had a testimony: I was once a leper.
Today
many of us miss out from God’s package of blessings for us due to the ways they
undermine God’s instructions in the scriptures. Some of us take it lightly and
certainly we will pay dearly for it. Lot’s wife did it and we know her story.
God cannot be mocked. Follow His instruction carefully and you will certainly benefit
from it at the end.
Food for Thought: It takes a humble heart to obey God’s command.
Memory verse: 2 Kings 5:14
Prayer: O Lord,
as I obey your commandments, answer my prayers and bless me.
