This lesson focuses on the tragic greed of Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. After Naaman is healed of leprosy, he offers Elisha a generous reward, but Elisha refuses, wanting to show that God's grace is not for sale. However, Gehazi secretly follows Naaman, lies to him, and accepts the gifts for himself. When confronted, Gehazi lies again to Elisha—who, empowered by the Spirit, knows the truth. As judgment, the leprosy that left Naaman falls on Gehazi and his descendants. The lesson highlights how greed, deception, and a desire for personal gain can cost us everything. God’s grace is freely given and must never be exploited.
