Redirected To The Prophet

Redirected To The Prophet 

II Kings 5:8-10 NKJV

[8] So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.” [9] Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house. [10] And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.” 

That little girl had said if the Master ,Naaman, was with the Prophet . Then Naaman went to the king with a right attitude. Now he is finally directed to the right place and he arrived with a wrong attitude. He became offended because he didn't appear to have received honour as a Syrian King representative. Attitudes are mental positions we carry concerning another person, place or thing. It has the power to make us be positive or negative in our responses to either  God or men. We can let wrong attitudes rob us of divine blessings.

  An Ai scan reveals the impact of attitude on our lives. " Attitudes have a significant impact on how we think, behave, and feel, and they can also affect the people around us: 

 i.Inner world: Attitudes affect our self-talk, thought life, and inner world. 

Behavior: Attitudes shape our behaviors, including the choices we make and the health behaviors we practice. 

 ii. Communication: Attitudes affect how we communicate and collaborate with others. 

  iii. Success and happiness: Attitudes can shape our success and happiness. 

 iv. Mental and physical health: Attitudes can impact our mental and physical health. Research has linked a positive mental state to improved health, including lower blood pressure, a healthier weight, and a reduced risk of heart disease. 

    Our attitudes are so important because they can block  or help us see things from God's perspective. A negative attitude will become an obstacle to God's blessings. Naaman nearly lost it.

   How do you respond when you feel you're not being honoured? That was Naaman's dilemma. It took his servants to beg him to go back and get a healing. Has your attitude robbed you of a blessing? Share with us. Good morning.
