The important thing for\nthem to learn was to do what the prophet of the Lord told them to do, obeying\nGod\u2019s Words. We will also see what happened for those who patiently did the\nwill of God and see what God gave them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emphasis:<\/strong> In this lesson, we should learn to obey God\u2019s Word,\npatiently, even if it seems too hard or it does not necessarily make sense to\nus. Be encouraged to put your faith and trust in Jesus and to live your life\naccording to God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lesson Summary: <\/strong>In this lesson, we will continue learning the history of the nation Israel, the Northern Kingdom. Once we saw Elijah taken, we read Elisha established as the prophet of the Lord. Elisha had requested Elijah to give him a double portion of Elijah\u2019s spirit. In this lesson, we will see that this is just what Elisha received. Not only did he have dealings with many Israelites, but we will also see that he took the Word of the Lord to the kings. His fame even spread by an Israelite maiden taken captive into the home of a captain in the Syrian army. His name was Naaman. Because he obeyed the words spoken by the prophet of the Lord, Elisha, Naaman was healed of his leprosy. Notice the many different, and even unusual things, people were asked to do, obeying the words of the prophet of the Lord. It would also be good to notice the blessings, and even the salvation from the enemies, the people received when they obeyed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Year Two Quarter One - Lesson 4 Questions (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-4-Questions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Year Two Quarter One &#8211; Lesson 4 Questions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-4-Childrens-Worksheets.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Year Two Quarter One - Lesson 4 Children's Worksheets (opens in a new tab)\">Year Two Quarter One &#8211; Lesson 4 Children&#8217;s Worksheets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1239\" srcset=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-4-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Y2Q1-Lesson-4-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You could let your students make a coloring book of their own using pictures of Naaman, the Leper, and Elisha.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Verse For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. \u2014Hebrews 10:36 Key Verse Thought: After you read the Key Verse, use the following definitions to help you understand it better.&nbsp; Does one really understand patience?
