“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Matthew 10: 8

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

We, the bride, the church should give salvation freely to those who are living in sin.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should wash and cleanse our sins seven times and become clean.

Next what we are meditating upon is that 2 Kings 5: 15 – 19 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”

But he said, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

So Naaman said, “Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord. 

Yet in this thing may the Lord pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord please pardon your servant in this thing.”

Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a short distance. 

In the above-mentioned words of the Lord, according to what the Lord said after Naaman got down in Jordan seven times, his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. After that what he did is that he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused. So Naaman said, “Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord. Yet in this thing may the Lord pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord please pardon your servant in this thing.” Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a short distance.

My dear people when we meditate upon the above-mentioned words of the Lord if our sins are washed and cleansed by our Lord Jesus Christ then we must receive the fullness of grace. In this manner if a fullness of salvation must occur for us then only the Lord is God; There is no other God other than him, and we must have one mind in this manner. Also, our heart should be as those who offer burnt offering only to him. Also, in our life in our spiritual growth the doubts that arise we must with reason receive the counsel from the Lord. If we will do in this manner, then the Lord will give us counsel and will give us peace. Also, the servants of the Lord the grace that the Lord should be given freely to others and not sold to others for a price. But many people ask give offerings to Lord and take it and God does not like that. But for the Lord those who are giving offerings if they give it whole heartedly then the Lord will accept it. Naaman is giving whole heartedly only, but the man of God is not receiving it. Giving offering to the Lord should not be outside or in houses and he is explaining and showing that what belongs to the Lord should come to the church of God. Therefore, we must analyse the above-mentioned facts and submit ourselves to do according to that.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
