Key Verse

“The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow” (2 Kings 5:27).

Text  — 2 Kings 5:20-27

Message

A great miracle had just been performed as the prophet of God directed the Army General, Naaman to go bathe himself seven times in River Jordan and his leprosy was cleansed by the supernatural power of God as he did so. Instead of Gehazi rejoicing at the wonderful work of God, he was looking for an opportunity to make quick wealth out of it. Gehazi was concerned with commercializing or making merchandise of God’s gift. Alas, he was struck with God’s judgment. Covetousness is the excessive and strong love for possessions, power, and things of the world. Covetous people often crave things they may not even need. They just have an obsession for the acquisition of things.

Many youths today have joined the bandwagon of those who would do anything to be rich. They participate in internet fraud, ritual killing, kidnapping, examination impersonation and many more vices just to have money to impress others and satisfy their ego. Genuine salvation and real passion for God makes us free from the grip of covetousness. Ask Jesus to help you if you are covetous.
