Fellow Joynetters, The story of Samson and Delilah in Judges 16 is one that requires some moment of sober reflection. Samson the strong who was anointed by God to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines sudenly became an object of scorn in Gaza-the capital of Philistine. This great man of God who destroy thousands of Philistines soldiers and posed great threat to their ruling authority sudenly became powerless and incapacitated. What made is so? Delilah!
After Samson had met Delilah the Philistine girl whom he loved more than his life and people, the story became a different one. This so called love made Samson the man of God to reveal the source of his strenght to a daughter of his enemies. And eventually,she lured Samson into a deep sleep on her lapse and had his hairs barbed. Samson was subsequently captured by his enemies who had his eyes removed. To make it even worst the great man of God became a grinder and an entertainer of Philistines his enemy. Oh Samson is that how you ended!? It is a pity that this man of God ended this way, but it is much more pitiful for so many who are following the footstep of Samson the strong. There are so many people today who have lost their Christian consecration, anointing and ministry ever since they met some "Delilahs " in thier lives. Who is that person that is the Delilah in your life? who is that man or woman that has held you in bondage in immorality. In the name of prayer partner, follow-up and marriage, so many youths have been deeply involved in fornication, adultry and other immoral acts. No wonder you cannot pray as you use to do before, no wonder you have lost the burden of preaching the good news and now wonder the annointing of God has left your life. Therefore wake up from the laps of that Delilah before she strips you of your strenght. Get up before it becomes too late for you, for this is the day of salvation and the hour to be saved and set free. Thanks. Jude S.C.
