Topic: The Entry Point
Text: Proverbs 26:1-3

Problems can be likened to a tree. If you cut off a tree leaving its stump, it will sprout again. As long as the roots are intact, you have only swept the dirt under a carpet. To get rid of a tree you have to deal with the root. Why would God allow a siege to come into the life of a man or a city? As far as the Lord is concerned, there is only one principal cause of siege. This is sin. You can also call it disobedience to God. Deuteronomy 28:15, 49, 53 tell us more about this, “But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.” “The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;” “And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy draughts, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in siege, and in the straightness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee.” God is saying here that if you do not obey Him completely, you will be put under siege. God does not do anything without warning us first. He is warning us now because He wants to set us free. For example, if someone suffering from cholera is cure, if the doctors love him, they would advise him that, henceforth, he should live in a clean environment and eat clean food, otherwise he would be back in the hospital. God wants us to be free permanently. The word of God says in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” He cleanses us from all sin. If anyone under siege asks for mercy from God, He obtains mercy. Since sin is the cause of a siege, as soon as the cause is removed, the effect will go. If you can see some traces of siege in your life and business, go on and ask God to show you what you are doing wrong and made restitution.


Memory Verse: Isaiah 55:7 - “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to God, for he will abundantly pardon.”
