LISTEN CAREFULLY !

    " Be careful therefore how you listen..."  Luke 8:18. Words do not only have the efficacy to colour our thoughts; with their forceful potency, they simulate and propel our Spirits into a certain direction. Whereas some words deepen our fears, others expand our faith depending on their source.

NAAMAN'S LIFE STORY !




MEANING OF NAME :  Sweetness or pleasantness.


HIS REGRET     : He could not live all the years of his life as his name suggests; he was struck with leprosy.

HIS JOY         : He had a good wife and a good maid both of whom played large enough role in his healing.


 

STORY IN BRIEF:

NAAMAN, a Syrian captain of Ben-hadad's  army, was a son of Caleb - a friend of Joshua. The valiant man was living joyously till he became a leper.


Fortunately, NAAMAN had a good wife who also often expressed her displeasure about his sickly state. This would always attract their servant - an Israelite, into singing the praises of Elisha to them.


Now, the couple were not only enthused by the songs of praise their maid sang; they also believed in the Prophet, Elisha, upon hearing of the miracles he had been performing as recounted by their maid servant.


So NAAMAN rose to meet with Elisha in Samaria. Elisha would instruct him to wash himself seven times in Jordan. And when NAAMAN did, he became whole again.
