MFM Devotional 15 August 2024 MESSAGE

Today, we want to look at another covetous young man – Gehazi. He was a servant of Elisha, one of the greatest prophets in the Bible. Thus, opportunities abounded for him to receive the mantle of Elisha. Elisha served Elijah and received the double portion of his power.

If Gehazi had served Elisha well, he too could have received a quantum dimension of the power of Elijah. But covetousness got the better part of this young man and he ended up a leper. Elisha went from the presence of Elijah, a powerful prophet but Gehazi went from the presence of Elisha a leprous fellow. Beware of covetousness!

In 2 Kings 5:15-16, Namaan who had been cleansed of leprosy brought some gifts to Elisha, but the man of God refused it. This did not go well with Gehazi. “But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.”

He ran after Naaman to collect a talent of silver and two changes of garments. We never read where he ran after God to know Him better but he ran after Naaman. He never ran after Elisha to get power but he ran after Naaman to collect the gifts of leprosy. He threw caution to the wind and left the substance to pursue the shadows.

What a purposeless life! He did not understand that there are times to take gifts and there are times to reject gifts. To Gehazi, every gift is a blessing and must be collected. May we not collect trouble wrapped as a gift in the name of Jesus. No wonder, when Elisha gave him his staff in 2 Kings 4:29, to perform a miracle with it, the staff of power refused to work in Gehazi’s hands because his hands had been bewitched at the altar of covetousness.

You cannot be holding onto the devil’s property and expect the rod of God to prosper in your hands. Beware of covetousness! It is an expressway to leprosy. Gehazi got the reward of leprosy for himself and his seed forever. He brought a generational curse and leprosy to his descendants. Avoid covetousness like a plague!
