Episode Description

Judges 6: 3-6 : So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.  Then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey. For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.  So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.

The Israelites were not lazy people. They worked diligently, sowing and laboring hard, and God blessed the works of their hands. Their harvests were abundant, but just as they were about to enjoy the fruits of their labor, the Midianites, in alliance with the Amalekites and the people of the east, would rise against them. They came with their camels and pitched tents, encamping around someone else’s harvest. Their purpose was to strip the Israelites of all they had worked for.

Like a swarm of locusts, their numbers were overwhelming. By the time they left, the children of Israel were left in deep poverty. What a devastating cycle, the Israelites labored so hard, yet they seemed to have nothing to show for it. It was as though all their efforts were in vain.

Dear friend, it is possible to labor diligently, work hard, and even secure God’s blessings, yet still find yourself impoverished because the enemy has gained access to your harvest. You must rise up with holy anger and declare, “Enough is enough!”

You have labored for your marriage, worked hand-in-hand with your spouse to build a home, and now that you should be enjoying the fruits of your efforts, the enemy dares to show up to strip you of your harvest. Enough is enough!

You cannot toil over your children, sacrificing your dreams, pausing your education, or putting your life on hold for them to succeed, only for the enemy to place a siege on your harvest. Perhaps they have earned their degrees and secured prestigious jobs, yet they seem distant, ungrateful, or even uncaring toward you. This is not God’s design! The enemy has no right to steal your joy or rob you of the rewards of your labor.

It is time to raise a standard in the name of Jesus. Declare boldly: “That which seeks to strip God’s people of their harvest has no place around me or my household!” Stand firm in faith and take back everything the enemy has stolen. Your labor will not be in vain. Shallom!
