MFM Daily Devotional Message Sunday 23rd August 2026.

It takes a man that takes his job seriously to be recommended in high places. Naaman was a man that took his job serious. He was hardworking and skilful in his endeavour such that by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria (2 Kings 5:). In verse 5, when the King of Syria (Naaman’s boss) heard that there was a prophet in Samaria that could heal Naaman, he did not waste time before he
sent a letter to recommend Naaman for healing.

For a boss to recommend his subject or subordinate for something great, such subordinate must have shown himself worthwhile. Even though Naaman was a leper, he didn’t excuse himself from work. Rather, he still went to war to fight battles for his nation. He didn’t because of his disability, start begging by the roadside. He would have been justified to do as a leper, but Naaman chose the more noble way. No wonder, the Bible refers to him as an honourable man. He chose the dignity of labour and he was very diligent at it. This is why I think he was not sacked because as a leprous person in the Old Testament, he was supposed to be ostracized from the community of other people.

He was diligent at his work, so he couldn’t be dismissed and replaced. He was so hardworking that he rose to the rank of a captain and his boss quickly gave him a recommendation letter when he needed it. The story of the centurion’s servant in Matthew 8:6-13 corroborates the story of work ethics of Naaman. For a whole centurion to leave his busy schedule and be running around looking for the solution to the problem of his servant must be that that servant was a treasure to him.

He must have been serving the centurion so well that the centurion could not afford to lose him. Beloved, if you are to require a letter of recommendation today, with the way you are handling your work, would you be recommended? Would your boss or organization be willing to go out of their way to retain you, with the way you attend to your duties? What would be said of you when you leave or retire from your organization? Let’s reflect and ponder on these.
