When Economic Conditions Become Critical

When Economic Conditions Became Critical 

II Kings 6:24-25 NKJV

[24] And it happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. [25] And there was a great famine in Samaria; and indeed they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and one-fourth of a kab of dove droppings for five shekels of silver.

There came a time when the King of Syria returned to fight Israel. This is the strategy of the devil. Even during the temptation of Jesus, the report is that the devil departed for a season. Please keep that in mind and dont plan to be careless. When you put the enemy under pressure, it will depart. It may even promise everything to be free from your bindings. But, the devil is a liar. It will return. 

   Whenever the enemy returns, it will attempt to amaze you with its power. Mat.12:43-45. So the Syrians returned. They put up such battle that Israel was hemmed into their battlements. This went on for a long time and the daily economy was affected. Our read is the report. People ate their children as if it was chicken, just to survive.

    You see, economic conditions describe the state of variables in any economy. It may include " gross domestic product (GDP) growth potential, the unemployment rate, inflation, and fiscal and monetary policy orientations". Israel experienced all. The economic outlook for Israel was bad. You couldn't forecast any hope. When things got that tough, the King blamed the Prophet Elisha. Immature people look for who to blame at crisis. What do you do at crises? Behind the people we blame is the devil. The real enemy is the devil. Change your focus. Bind the enemy. You sre empowered  to win. Do it now. Good morning.
