Summary

What’s wrong with taking a little credit for spiritual work? After Elisha turned down payment for the healing of Naaman, Elisha’s servant Gehazi ran after Naaman to get money from him anyway, money that Gehazi felt was owed to them (2 Kings 5). As a result, Naman’s leprosy was transferred to Gehazi. We’ll talk about what happens when we fall prey to the trap of self-congratulation, and how to avoid it.
