Reflecting on God's word, Lord revealed these truths, I am calling this little girl, A Child Evangelist.
Three truth's from this little girl's life
1.Captive for the Lord
2.Servant of the Lord
3.Proclaim the gospel
Name of the girl is unknown.
Captive for the Lord: 2 Kings 5:2 - Little girl is taken captive by Syrians in one of the wars with Israel. Little girl - taken as a captive to a foreign land. This little girl may be missing the parents, the right home, and right language and his relatives. But she is never forgot the Lord and the Land of God.
More than she was a captive of Syrians, she is a captivated by the Lord. Lord has her heart. Her heart remembers the Lord even in a foreign Land. There are several youngsters lived in foreign lands, who were faithful to the God of Israel - YHWH. Daniel is taken captive from Israel to Babylon. Joseph was in a foreign land, Egypt. No matter where you live, if your children belong to the Lord, they will never be lost nor they will never become worldly. Daniel was pure in Babylon - Daniel 1:8, Joseph was pure in Egypt - Gen 39:9. If your and my children are captivated by the Lord, they will not be lost.
Are your children captivated by the Lord? Do they know the Lord Jesus as their personal Lord and savior? They will keep away from sin and prosper for the sake of Christ.
Servant of the Lord: 2 Kings 5:2 - She worked in service of Naaman’s wife. Little girl servant of the Foreign lady. How she might have won the heart of the mistress worked for, otherwise who would take a word of little girl seriously for a cure. So, seriously that the mistress not only believed the word of the girl but she convinced her husband.
Your job could be small in this world, you could be used by the Lord, if you have the heart fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Little girl was a child servant of Naaman’s wife but her heart has fixed on serving the people for the Lord. Serving the Lord through serving others, Galatians 5:13 - Through love serve one another. Paul says - he is a bond servant of christ, Our children not only become captivated by the Lord, our children should become evangelists and servants of the Lord. Jesus Christ - servant of the Lord - Matt 20:28,Mark 10:45 - Paul - servant - doulos of the Lord - Phil 1:1, Col 1:1
What ever might be your profession be the servant of the Lord!
Proclaim the Gospel - 2 Kings 5:3 - Naaman should go to prophet in Land. Child evangelist talked about the cure is very commendable. This child talked about the cure leprosy of the master - she passed on the good news. Text does not talk about....but if we can imagine Little child should have told several testimonies of the Lord to her mistress to convince her. She proclaimed the source of cure to the leper, child could point to the cure. There is cure to the leprosy of sin, that is the Savior. Child talked about a prophet in Israel, we have a greater prophet Deut 18:15 , the Savior - John 4:42. May our children talk about the Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Children should be filled with so much of the Word and testimonies of the Lord that they should be able to point the needy, sinful to the savior of the world. Child should experience the forgiveness of sin, salvation, and should point others to Lord Jesus Christ. May the promise of Acts 2:38-39 - this promise is to you and your children may be applied to them. Healing is a good news to a leper, Savior is the gospel to sinner, the savior who died in our stead on the cross bearing all our sin -1 Peter 2:24, shame and sickness - Matt 8:17.
A Cure from the Cross - Is 53:5, Matt 8:17
May our children be shaped by the Lord to serve him in this manner, turning many to the Lord Jesus Christ.
