The Leprosy Exchange Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 30, 2017

Is Everything Alright?

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 15, 2016

Many People Have Had Divine Opportunities That They Have Blown. Either they did not realize the significance of what they had or they knew but took it for granted. Gehazi the servant of Elisha is one of such examples. He trampled on a divine opportunity.

Gift Of Naaman

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 4, 2023

This verse reveals a lot about Gehazi. Gehazi has seen Naaman’s gift, but he has not seen the curse or the leprous nature attached to Naaman’s gift.

Iron Can Swim

To See What You Can See. Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 1, 2023

To see for me is the most important sense of the five senses. The physical realm without the spiritual is meaningless. We need a revelation of who Christ is. We need our spiritual eyes to be opened by the Holy Spirit.

I think if I had to choose the most important sense amongst the 5 senses, I would choose sight. I love colour and unique objects in the environment. I am always looking to see something new or different. With our eyes we can discern so much about people. We can see what they are feeling, if ...read more
