“And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, ‘Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.’” (II Kings 5:6)
The king of Syria was accustomed to being in control, so it is not surprising that he assumed the “driver’s seat” in this situation. The only protocol he knew was that which lined up with his thinking. The king of Syria must have thought that the king of Israel had people under him lined up to heal or to do whatever he told them to do.
It never ceases to amaze me to see some “worldling” want the local church to be run like a business. If given the reins of leadership he will be as lost running the church as the king of Syria was in trying to dictate the process of healing for Naaman.
