From The Pastor’s Desk – Lockdown 16 – Naaman

Lockdown 16 – The Story of Naaman

Read – 2 Kings 5

Naaman’s name means “Pleasantness.”  Though, as a Commander of the King of Aram’s Army, he could be very unpleasant.

Not only during a Lockdown, but throughout every life situation, we “TALK” …. As we read through chapter 5 we are going to look at the different types of “TALK” involved, and reflect on our “TALK.”

[1] Public Talk (v1)

[2] Pragmatic Talk (v2)

[3] Private Talk (v3)

[4] Palace Talk (1) (v4-6) with the King of Aram

      Palace Talk (2) (v7-8) with the King of Israel

[5] Porch Talk (v9-10)

[6] Personal Talk (v11-12)

[7] Persuasive Talk (v13-14)

[8] Praiseful Talk (v15a)

[9] Persistent Talk (v15b-16)

[10] Proselytised Talk (v17-18)

[11] Peaceful Talk (v19a)

[12] Pleading Talk (v19b-22)

[13] Presenting Talk (v23)

[14] Permissive Talk (v24)

[15] Prophetic Talk (v 25-26)

[16] Punishing Talk (v27)

Conclusion: Powerful Talk (Matthew 12:36-37)

Jesus warns us about our “TALK.”

“But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on The Day of Judgement for every empty (idle, inoperative, non working) word they have spoken.   For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned.”

James tells us that “The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.  Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”  (James 3:5)  We need to be very aware of our “TALK.”  To make sure that we are talking, bringing life, not death.
