This is the trap that ruins people right before promotion.

In this powerful message, we look at the biblical story of Naaman, Elisha, and Gehazi (2 Kings 5) and the warning it gives us today: before God elevates you, He tests your humility, obedience, and heart.

Gehazi was in the presence of one of God’s greatest prophets and positioned for elevation — but chasing what wasn’t his cost him everything. This message reminds us that we cannot take credit for what God does for us, through us, or around us, and that hidden disobedience can block the very promotion we’re praying for.

If you feel like God is preparing you for more, this word will challenge and encourage you to stay humble, faithful, and obedient in the process.
