Avoidance of curse< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1King 2, 5

Elisha knew what he wanted from God. He also realized the channel for the flow of his desire. He entered into following Elijah. He saw what Elijah had done by the hand of God upon his life. Elisha followed Elijah everywhere he went. Discouragement and mockery could not distract Elisha from focusing on what he wanted. When the chariot of fire came and took Elijah to heaven, all that Elisha wanted from Elijah was transferred unto Elisha. Elisha took the place of Elijah. Later on, Gehazi took the place of Elisha. However, Gehazi could not focus. He saw a huge gift that was turned down by Elisha when Naaman a commander of the army of the king of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Syria received healing from leprosy. Seeing that Elisha had rejected the gift, Gehazi went behind and pursued Naaman for the gift. All Gehazi needed to focus on was pursuing Elisha. Instead, Gehazi lost focus; his agenda changed and his heart went after material things. Is your case similar to that of Gehazi? Do you know what your calling is about? Elisha found out what Gehazi had followed. Instead of Elisha releasing unto Gehazi what was released unto him by Elijah, he pronounced a curse upon Gehazi. 2Kings 5:27, ÒÔTherefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever.Õ And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.Ó Do not lose focus to avoid everlasting or generational curses.
