NAAMANS CONDITION

• 2 Kings 51 Now Naaman, captain of the host of
  the king of Syria, was a great man with his
  master, and honourable, because by him the LORD
  had given deliverance unto Syria he was also a
  mighty great man in valour, but he was a leper.

  watch for the little foxes that spoil the vine
• Anger
• Pride
• Associations
• Bitterness

UNDER THE BRONZE - LAY THE CLAY

• IN SPITE OF PAST VICTORIES PRESENT HONOURS ,
  NAAMAN HAD A HIDDEN PROBLEM.
• LEFT UNDEALT, IT WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY HIM.

5

• FOOD LEFT UNATTENDED, GOES OFF
• MILK UNREFRIDGERATED , GOES SOUR
• OPEN WOUND BECOMES SEPTIC
• UNATTENDED THREATS , HOWEVER SMALL, CAN CAUSE
  DECAY

6

• WITHOUT OBSTACLES WELL ALWAYS BE ORDINARY.
• BEFORE WE CAN ENTER INTO FUTURE BLESSINGS, WE
  MUST DEAL WITH CURRENT CONDITIONS.

7

• EVERYONE WILL GO THROUGH SOME THINGS THAT ARE
  HIDDEN UNDER THEIR ARMOUR.

8

• GOD MAY ALLOW YOU INTO PREDICAMENTS WITHOUT HUMAN
  SOLUTIONS.

9

• LIKE NAAMAN, YOU WEAR YOUR BRASS IN PUBLIC BUT
  YOU AGONISE IN PRIVATE.
• SOME OF GODS GREATEST DELIVERIES WAS MADE IN
  VALLEYS

10

• HE WANTS TO MOVE US FROM BEING IMPRESSIVE TO
  TRULY EXCEPTIONAL.
• CAUTION PEOPLE SAW THE STATUS AND ARMOUR BUT
  NOT THE AFFLICTION THAT DROVE HIM TO GOD

11

• BEFORE YOU CAN BECOME EXCEPTIONAL YOU HAVE TO
  DEVELOP A FAITH THAT BELIEVES GOD FOR THE
  IMPOSSIBLE.

12

• Luke 427 And many lepers were in Israel in the
  time of Elisha the prophet and none of them was
  cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
• GOD IS AN IMPOSSIBILTY SPECIALIST
