Dr. Geun-mo Jeong, who was the Minister of Science and Technology and the current chairman of the National Breakfast and Prayer Committee, came to church for his sick son and experienced God's miracles and became a faithful Christian today.
General Naaman at the invitation of a captive girl
Naaman, whom I introduce today, is the commander of the Armed Forces of Aram who does not know God. His fame surprised the whole world at that time, and he was honored even before the king. However, there is a story of pain that no one knows. Unfortunately, it was at this time that he became afflicted with leprosy. When I was in a panic, I received the evangelism of a young girl from my house whom I had taken from Israel.
Dear all! No matter who you were, you came out with an invitation. Whose invitation did you receive? Behind the scenes, the Lord invited. I pray that you will have an opportunity of blessing like Naaman.
General Naaman determined to put it into practice
It is not usually a decision for a man the size of an army chief, or chief of staff, to go to Israel, a small nation-state, to heal. Life is half of success is a decision. Many people miss the opportunity when it comes to their decisions. This kind of life is called a nightmare life. Naaman left his position as a minister, and left his honor, authority, and merit behind, and left to meet God.
There were many trials that came to him.
There are obstacles on the road to any success. I am trying to meet the Lord, but I have a problem.
First, I met the king of Israel, and I saw disappointment. I could have gone back in disappointment, but I didn't do it and waited.
Second, because I was really sick and sick, I was hurting my self-esteem. However, the way to meet God is to bow your head and kneel.
It is a way to wash yourself in the Jordan River.
It is immersing yourself in the blood of Jesus Christ. Naaman took off his jacket, revealing his rotten and stinking shame in his splendid starry military uniform. How am I? Are your lavishly adorned souls clean and healthy? I hope you can see everything before the Lord and be healed.
A new life path has begun.
Problems of health, problems of faith, problems of life have been solved. He wanted to take the dust of Israel and bring it to Syria, and he decided to believe in God. His footsteps back to his homeland were so joyous and bright, the path of hope was opened. Beloved, I hope that your dying steps will overflow with hope through Jesus.
