FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Anyone with wrong decision or self-charcter will reducef in life journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Samuel 6<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wrongdoing of Uzzah in the place of doing right caused him to be reduced to untimely death.
MAKING WRONG DECISION REDUCES SUCH<\/u><\/em>
Uzzah placed his hand on the ark of God when he had no excuse before God.
2 Samuel 6:6-7<\/strong> states, “And when they came to\u00a0Nachon\u2019s threshing floor, Uzzah put out\u00a0his\u00a0hand\u00a0to the ark of God and\u00a0took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.\u00a07\u00a0Then the anger of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for\u00a0his\u00a0error; and he died there by the ark of God.”<\/strong><\/em>
The word of God had warned all not to touch any holy thing, lest they die (Numbers 4:15).
The life of Uzzah was cut short (life reduced); Uzzah died a sudden death because of his lack of knowledge, doing right in a wrong way.
Uzzah made a wrong decision on his own.
PRIDE WILL REDUCE<\/u><\/em>
Pride will reduce its client not do according to the word of God.
Pride is a personal drive to self-destruction.
One without knowledge to identify when driven by empty pride will deny repentance, ending in destruction of pride.
The number of pages, from Genesis to Revelation, records the evil of pride.
Proverbs 16:18<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>records: “Pride\u00a0goes\u00a0before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”<\/strong><\/em>
Job 35:12<\/strong><\/em> states, “There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the\u00a0pride\u00a0of evil men.”<\/strong><\/em>
1 John 2:16<\/strong><\/em> states, “For all that\u00a0is\u00a0in the world\u2014the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the\u00a0pride\u00a0of life\u2014is not of the Father but is of the world.”<\/strong><\/em>
Pride is a character that almost terminates Naaman.
2 Kings 1:1<\/strong><\/em> described Naaman as: “The commander of the army of the king of Syria was\u00a0a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the\u00a0Lord\u00a0had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor,\u00a0but\u00a0a leper.”<\/strong><\/em>
Naaman was reduced in life.
Naaman was a leper.
Naaman could not fully live life as described by his disease.
Naaman was directed to the prophet Elisha for his healing.
For the prescription for healing, Elisha sent Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan seven times. Naaman became furious, and went away and said, \u201cIndeed, I said to myself, \u2018He will surely come out\u00a0to me,\u00a0and stand and call on the name of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.\u2019\u00a012\u00a0Are\u00a0not the\u00a0Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?\u00a0“<\/strong><\/em>
Naaman experienced mercy from God; otherwise, his pride would have made him live as a leper all the days of his life.
Naaman was redirected back to the prescription for his healing before Elisha.
The pride in Naaman subsided. He obeyed Elisha, though he walked away at first.
Naaman, in his pride, delayed his healing, but he escaped a lifetime as a leper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
