Good evening people of God, it's been a busy day for me and I tell you what, I feel great serving God in any capacity i find myself. It is indeed the day of the Lord and I bet you are rejoicing and glad in it.
Like always, on this platform I bring you the Sunday sermon from church and today's message is quite interesting and reassuring. Our Bible reading is from Psalm 121:1-end and our memory verse is from 2Kings 5:10-12"And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean." But Na`aman was angry and went away, saying, "Behold, I thought that he would surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand and cure the leper". Are there not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them, and be clean?" so he turned and went away in a rage."
The story of Na`aman is a popular bible story and it is a clear illustration of how we undermine the real solution to our problem just because it comes in package we least expect.
There are stories in the Bible that illustrates what it looks like to look in the wrong direction and their consequences. Some of the stories quickly comes to mind; the story of Jacob and his insistence on being married to Rachael, in the end Rachael was the one that brought idols into his household while Leah was the one that gave Jacob the son that through his lineage Jesus came to the world.
We have the story of Abraham when he went to get a son through Sarah's handmaid, he got Ishmael and we know the rest of the story and how it has affected the world's peace.
POINTS TO NOTE; looking at the wrong direction means:
Till I come your way again, remain blessed .

POINTS TO NOTE; looking at the wrong direction means:
- When you look at the wrong direction, you will never be satisfied with the right solution.
- If you are looking at the wrong direction, you will always be in haste to get solution.
- Yielding to personal emotions can cause us delusion.
- When the mind is made up about what you know, you tend to look the wrong way.
- Ignorance of the knowledge of the presence of God amounts to looking at the wrong direction.
- Looking unto God always look foolish.
Till I come your way again, remain blessed .
