From Our Pastor's Desk
2nd Kings 7:1 – “Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria”
The word of God came to Elisha during the time the Israelites were under siege by the Syrian army. Saying about this time tomorrow the siege will be over; meaning there will be abundance.
The siege caused scarcity of goods, food, and materials in the land. They could not go in nor go out. The Syrian armies were by the gate.
A siege is the surrounding and blocking of a city or town or fortress by an army attempting to capture it.
We can also say it is the act or process of surrounding and attacking a fortified place in such a way as to isolate it from help and supplies. The armies had surrounded and blocked the city.
A siege is an embargo placed on movement of goods, services and persons, in and out of the city. It is a ban. A siege is an order or a restriction that do not allow the performance of a normal day to day activities.
It can be a restraint; hindrance; prohibition; a stoppage or an impediment imposed on a country, community, business, organization or individual. A siege is a time of broken defenses, safety threatened. Some of us are like the city under siege.
It can be a series of illness, troubles or annoyances besetting a person. Job was under siege (Job 19:12), woman with the issue of blood was under siege (Mark 5:25-34) and so many other examples. Are you under any siege of any kind?
Today, God is telling you that in your life, tomorrow about this time, the siege will be over, the siege against your health, marriage, progress, promotion, joy, prosperity, will be over, in Jesus mighty name. You will have good success this 2021.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
