DISCOVERY
4t2
READ: 2 Kings 5:1-16
And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! For he would recover him of his leprosy.
2 Kings 5:2-3
There are people who are doing great things and whom God is using. You may not have heard of them. In the days of Naaman the Syrian, there was a great prophet called Elisha. Naaman had not heard of Elisha. Naaman did not know that his life would change when he came in contact with Elisha.
When you have not encountered certain ministries, you would not know what God will do for you through them. The loudest ministries are found on television but they may not be the greatest. There are ministries that you must discover. Be open to new men of God. They are part of God’s plan for your life.
Be open to travel to meet men of God whom you have heard of. Even though Paul had had a real revelation of Jesus Christ, he travelled to Jerusalem to see Apostle Peter (Galatians 1:18). Paul had heard of Peter but he had not had a chance to have a deep interaction with him. If you do not travel, you will never meet certain men of God.
Travelling to Korea was one of the most important things I ever did; it opened me up to David Yonggi Cho, who was the pastor of the largest church in the world at the time. That trip opened the door for me to fellowship with God’s great servant. It also opened many doors of ministry for me. People who do not get up and go will never see certain things in their lives and ministry.
