SPIRIT OF GEHAZI

SPIRIT OF GEHAZI

Spirit of Gehazi can also be called a greedy spirit. Gehazi was a greedy servant of a powerful prophet Elisha. It is believed that the day he was caught, was not the only day he took something that was not meant for him, he had been doing it, till his cup was finally full. And he was caught and cursed.
Further, greed can be said to be an inordinate, insatiable longing for material gain, food, money, status, power, etc. When a person is greedy, it means that he/she can’t be satisfied or contented with what he/ she has. And this will lead to devious acts. A greedy man cannot be satisfied with what God has given him, he cannot be satisfied even with God because he will always go extra mile to get what he wants no matter what.
Spirit of Gehazi (Greed) is a killer and it corrupts. It makes a person not to be spiritually connected. There are examples in the Bible where people manifested such spirit and they paid dearly for it.

SCRIPTURES: 2 Kings 5:20-27, 2Samuel 11:2-27, Joshua 7:1-26, Proverbs 1:18-19, Proverbs 15:27, 1Timothy 3:3,8, Isaiah 56:11, Acts 5:1-10, 1Kings 21:1-29, Hebrews 13:5.
