Previous Episode: Motivated by Love

Are there any valuable lessons could we can learn from the story of Naaman. He was a man of valor, a powerful warrior, the commander of the Syrian Army and he was from a pagan culture.


His story is found in 2 Kings 5 and includes a young slave girl who is owned by Naaman’s wife. It includes the King of Israel who doesn’t trust Naaman’s motives, and Naaman’s desire to be cured of leprosy to the point of willing to pay for his healing which is the equivalent of $4.8 Million in gold and silver. After being convinced of letting go his pride, and then after being healed of his leprosy, he asks for the strangest thing from Israel’s prophet: a truck load of dirt to bring home to Syria with him. Then you have the prophet Elisha’s dedicated servant, Gehazi, who lets his greed destroy him. Yes, there are a few lessons we can learn from the story of Naaman.
