TOPIC – Lessons From The Life Of Naaman (5) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 24 August 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ecclesiastes 11, Ecclesiastes 12, Matthew 1, Matthew 2.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Kings 5:9-13, Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV)
2 Kings 5:9-13
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
MEMORY VERSE: Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. – 1 Corinthians 1:25 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Do not equate the miraculous with stress. It doesn’t have to be rigorous to be miraculous!
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: I pray for you, you will become a sweatless winner and a candidate of uncommon breakthroughs, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
God can decide to visit a man at any time, any how He wants it. Therefore, it is not in man to choose how he/she wants to be visited by God. Sometimes, we try to box God to a corner on how we want it done. Naaman went to God’s Prophet to be healed; he also wanted to choose his method of healing. He already had a pre-conceived mindset of how the healing process should go. Probably because he had seen a particular method work for others, he thought that would always be the method.

In his case, Elisha did not even bother to come out to see who he was. He just sent an instruction to Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan river and that’s all. But to Naaman, that was too simple. In the real sense, Naaman was expecting something costlier and more rigorous like fire prayers, days of fasting, etc. This is the case with many people; they don’t believe they can be visited by simply obeying simple instructions or partaking in simple activities like praise and worship, listening to other people’s testimonies, dancing, giving, clapping, etc. They always believe that miracles can only come through rigorous activities like fasting, going to mountains to pray, etc. If it will not make them sweat, to them, it cannot bring a miracle. Some don’t even appear in church until it is time for only fire prayers, ignoring other aspects of the church service and forgetting that God can even choose to pay a visit during opening prayers.
Beloved, it is true that for certain battles in life, a bit of rigour must be engaged. For such, fasting, deep prayers and even waiting upon the Lord may be required. But for others, it could just be a “wash and be clean” kind of instruction that is needed. “And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?”
