(a) 2 Kings 5: 1 — 15:
(i) Naaman was the commander of the army of the King of Syria.
(ii) He was favoured by the king because through him God had given Syrian victory.
(iii) But he was a leper.
(vi) During one of their raids, a little maid was captured from Israel.
(v) The maid who waited on Naaman's wife and told her mistress that if only his master would visit Israel, his leprosy would be cured.
(vi) The wife told her husband what the maid said.
(vii) The king of Syria heard of it and gave a letter to Naaman to take to the king of Israel.
(viii) Including ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold and some festal garments.
(ix) When the king of Israel received the letter, he rented his clothes and said am I God that would heal leprosy.
(x) The king of Syria was only looking for opportunity to quarrel with him.
(xi) When Elisha, the man of God, heard about it he asked Naaman to see him and that he would know that there is a God in Israel.
(xii) So, Naaman went to Elisha, the prophet, with his entourage and stood at the gate.
(xiii) Elisha sent a message to him that he should go and wash in river Jordan seven times.
(xiv) He was angry that there were better rivers in his place than river Jordan.
(xv) But his servants urged him and he went and washed in river Jordan seven times.
(xvi) And his leprosy left him and his skin was restored.
(xvii) He then returned back to Elisha and presented him gifts which Elisha refused.

(b) Three lessons derived from the story:
(i) Need for humility to achieve success.
(ii) We should not visit the house of God with empty hands.
(iii) God can use ordinary people (maids) to achieve his purpose.
(iv) You don't always need to do extra-ordinary things to get result.
(v) Obedience to God's word brings good results.
(vi) We should use our gifts/ talents for God.
