OLD TESTAMENT 2022
Come Follow Me
with
Trust in God and His Prophet
Scripture:
2 Kings 5:15
“And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel”
Song:
Come Listen to a Prophet’s Voice, Hymn #21
Lesson:
Elijah was taken up to heaven and Elisha became the next prophet. Elisha had great faith and performed many miracles with the power of God. Naaman, captain to the king of Syria, was suffering with leprosy. One of the maids in Naaman’s household encouraged Naaman to go to Elisha to be healed. Naaman went to see Elisha and Elisha asked him to wash himself in the River Jordan seven times. Naaman was offended, but his servant convinced him to try. Naaman humbled himself and did as Elisha the prophet had asked. He was healed of his leprosy and knew that Elisha was a prophet of God.
Quote:
“The prophet’s voice, while spoken kindly, will often be a voice asking us to change, to repent, and to return to the Lord. When correction is needed, let’s not delay. And don’t be alarmed when the prophet’s warning voice counters popular opinions of the day. The mocking fireballs of annoyed disbelievers are always hurled the moment the prophet begins to speak. As you are humble in following the counsel of the Lord’s prophet, I promise you an added blessing of safety and peace.” Neil L. Andersen
