But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
(2 Kings 5:20)Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
(Hebrews 12:1) A great cloud of witnesses are watching us
Elisha refused to accept any material reward from Naaman, which is a testimony of how things are done in the Kingdom of God. Gehazi, Elisha's servant, devised a terrible plan and took presents from Naaman without Elisha's knowledge, which resulted in terrible consequences for Gehazi. God sees the things we do in the dark, and sooner or later, we have to pay some consequence for our actions. The servant of God should be focused on only one thing and consecrated to their priesthood. We must be careful not to tarnish or lower the height in which we must walk as servants of the Lord. We should aim to be like Elisha and walk in integrity all our lives.
