Daily Delight Devotions

Judges 4:2"So the Lord sold them into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. Sisera, the commander of his army, was based in Harosheth Haggoyim."

What captured my attention was the name of the city where Sisera the commander lived. "Harosheth Haggoyim! I'm going to start from here....

Meaning of Harosheth Haggoyim

Harosheth comes from a Hebrew root meaning:

workshop
craftsmanship
manufacturing place

Haggoyim means:
the nations
the Gentiles
foreign peoples

👉 Harosheth Haggoyim literally means:
“The workshop of the nations” or “The manufacturing center of the Gentiles.”

So, it is just not an ordinary city, it was like a military base. Harosheth Haggoyim was likely:

A weapons manufacturing center
A command headquarters

A place where oppression was designed and produced. Are you listening? There is a Sisera the commander designed by the devil to destroy you Caution!!!!!

The Bible says: Judges 4:3 "Because he had nine hundred chariots fitted with iron and had cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the Lord for help."

This city was from where the oppression, aggression and destruction were planned. 
Harosheth was the source of sustained pressure, it supplied the tools that kept Israel subdued.

FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF VAGUELY BEATING AROUND THE BUSH:

When the enemy wants to dominate God’s people, he builds systems, habits, and strongholds—not just attacks.

Harosheth was supplying tools to attack the victims, the supply source has to be identified and destroyed.

Illustration: One of my colleague who joined my luncheon prayer during my ministry in the multinational bank where I worked had a serious problem in her marriage. Now this kind of extra marital affairs issue cannot be warded off with 5 minutes cute prayer. She joined our Friday fasting prayer, midnight prayers, weekly prayers, started personal prayers, diligently started reading the Word also I taught her to tithe.  

Once she got her life aligned with God and His ways, her husband who left her, came back to her.  Did you see that???

"The Lord said Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always." Deuteronomy 11:1

"In order to grow, we need to know ourselves. To understand what triggers certain behaviour, we need to identify the root cause and destroy it rather than blaming everyone except you. "-
