3. Promise: Each team will win the game.
4. Assign each Player a number within their team (e.g., one, two, three).

6. Choose 6 Players as “Castle” guards. A tagged player is out if caught before grabbing an object.
7. Note: Two guards are removed after each round.
8. Play multiple rounds.
9. In the final round, no guards are present, ensuring each team’s victory and fulfilling the promise.

THE CIRCUMSTANCE  (2 Kings 5:1) 
Location: Syria and Israel Date: Historical context People: Naaman (commander of Syria’s army), Elisha (prophet of God), Naaman’s servants, King of Israel
Naaman, a valiant commander in the Syrian army, had achieved great success. Through him, the Lord granted victories to Syria. Despite his valor, Naaman faced a grave predicament – he was afflicted with leprosy, a disease that marked him as unclean both physically and spiritually. The once-admired commander now found himself ostracized, living alone outside the camp, cut off from his family and community. Naaman’s life was at a crossroads, as he grappled with a condition that could not be overcome by his military prowess.

THE CHOICE (2 Kings 5:9) 
In his pursuit of healing, Naaman embarked on a journey to Israel, carrying lavish gifts and the hopes of finding a cure. Arriving at the house of Elisha, the prophet of God, Naaman stood at the door with his horses and chariots. Elisha’s message came not in person, but through a messenger: “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean” (2 Kings 5:10). This instruction seemed peculiar and simple, considering Naaman’s expectations of grand gestures or miraculous words. Yet, confronted with this choice, Naaman faced a crucial decision – would he obey Elisha’s words and humbly follow the divine prescription, or would he let his pride and preconceived notions hinder his healing?

THE CONSEQUENCE (2 Kings 5:15) 
Naaman’s choice held significant consequences. At first, he hesitated, questioning the simplicity of Elisha’s command. Yet, his servants persuaded him to consider the value of obeying the prophet’s words. Naaman recognized that his healing wasn’t contingent upon pomp and grandeur but rather on faith and obedience to God’s instruction. As he washed in the Jordan seven times, Naaman’s leprosy vanished, and his skin was restored like that of a young child. Moved by this miraculous transformation, Naaman returned to Elisha and acknowledged that the God of Israel was the true God. His former doubts and pride were replaced with humility and gratitude.

THE LIFE LESSON
“In life’s challenges, the path to healing and restoration often requires humility, faith, and obedience to God’s guidance” (2 Kings 5:15).
Consequence (Positive Outcome): Naaman’s obedience led not only to his physical healing but also to his spiritual transformation. His encounter with God’s power changed not only his outward condition but his heart as well. The once-proud commander learned that God’s ways are higher than human expectations and that His grace is available to all who come with humility and faith.
