When mind is offended, heart is revealed.
”Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.“ (Proverbs 4:23)
Naeman was a honorable and respected man, but he was a leper (2 Kings 5:1-14). He heard about God’s ability to heal through His prophet. However, when he received the instructions from the prophet’s servant he was offended and planned to return back home.
Offenses can keep us from what God has for us. Everything God has has an offense attached to it. It takes humility to receive from God. Proud cannot receive the blessings heaven has.
Bible says that ”Naeman was angry and went away”. He almost missed what God had for him because of an offense. Thankfully he had a servant who convinced him to reconsider!
Be willing to confront anything that causes you to get upset resulting in unreasonable decisions. Allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life! Make a firm decision today to never miss a blessing from God due to an offense.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit! Step into the fullness what God has for you! Speak God’s word and be overflowing with the spirit!
Let’s get all that heaven has for us!
