FAITH CAPSULE: To gain in the word is to be dressed by the word of God.  

2 Kings 5

Is pride a hidden identity that is clouding your destiny?
Sin and sinning drive away the sinner from God.
Pride is like the driver of sin and sinning.
Are you living life as a sinner, which is rooted in pride before God?  Leprosy was the most dreaded disease in biblical times, which kept one with leprosy away from others.
Leprosy is a type and picture of sin.
Interestingly, the Bible repeatedly does not speak about leprosy healing but talks about being cleansed of leprosy.
Luke 5:12-13 documented a case of leprosy cleansing, not mentioning healing: “And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus, and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, ‘Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately, the leprosy left him.”
Are you conscious or unconscious if there is a need for your cleansing of sin (leprosy) to be able to get near to God? 
Pride is a sin.
Complete submission is a condition of cure, while pride is a hindrance that will deny obedience to submission. 
Naaman had a cloud of leprosy.
What is reducing you from answering fully to what God has called you to be?
The case of Naaman:
Pride was a hindrance that clouded Naaman.
When Naaman approached Elisha for his healing, the cloud in his life stood between him and the word of the prophet.
The Bible records, “Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.” (2 Kings 5:10) The healing word of God through Elisha stated: “wash and clean” The power of cleansing for Naaman was not in the Jordan but in the word of the prophet for life of Naaman.
The clouding hindrance in Naaman denied his listening ability. The Bible records the pride of Naaman, for cleansing: “But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, ‘Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal leprosy.’  Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.” (2 Kings 5:11-12)
Is pride a hidden identity that is clouding your destiny?
The word of God is like a mirror to observe.
For one who observes is to be a readress and let the word become the frame for one to live for God.

Prayer for today: Pray against any force that will deny you from receiving from God.
