Topic: My Now, Your Now, Our Now:
Word: 11Kings 5:5,7 NLT
“king of Aram told him. “I will send a letter of introduction for you to take to the king of Israel.” When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes in dismay.”
Here's My Take:
Those their Now Came:
5. Naaman:
Lessons to learn from Naaman's story
3. Wrong communication is very disastrous:
I heard that in those days under colonial rule, they recruited interpreters; people that will interpret their English to our people in our local dialect, and give same feed back to the white man in English. They were called Kotima Otele ntu, meaning Kotima the ash buttocks. Because they wore ash shorts, white shortleave shirts, tie and a shoe.
Why the story above? Those Kotimas used their position to syphon people of their goats, yams, etc. If they whiteman say a different thing, they'll tell the people that they whiteman said that they should bring goats, foul, or anything they themselves are in need of, and not what the whiteman needs.
This same thing happens when you could not deliver a message by yourself, they deliverer may put you in a trouble, because you may not know what the content of the message is.
Naaman took the letter that was given to him and delivered it like that. It may be that there are lines that reminded the King of his Weakness, which may be a threat to him; thus he tore his cloth. Just maybe...
Conclusion:
Wrong message rightly communicated is very bad, and Right message wrongly communicated is very dangerous. It could destroy a person(reputation, marriage, career, etc)
Song:
When you see a man that loved by God
You'll see His Glory all over him
When you see a man that is loved by God
You'll see His beauty all over him
And then you know that God we serve
Is not a joker
And then you know that God we serve is not a scam
He's not a scam
He's not a joker
He's not a scam
Prayer:
Father may I not be in the list of those their messages will be wrongly communicated. Amen.
Do you know that every sin is sin??? There's no compromise..
