THEME: Don’t Be Mocked. III.
MEMORY VERSE: “But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.”
Judges 13: 7.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Judges 16:30.
“And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we observed that wisdom, knowledge and wise counsel helps to live a graceful and joyful life. And that when we say the right thing, at the right time, the righteous rejoice and the wicked are mocked.
Meanwhile, today we will be looking at disobedience and lust as bane of mockery. Our today’s memory verse list out the divine instructions concerning Samson’s destiny. It revealed things that Samson’s mother had to run away from all because of Samson’s future. Further study shows that his mother kept her own part of the bargain, but Samson thought it doesn’t matter anymore.
However, instead of Samson to heed his parents advice, he decided to disobey them by lusting after a strange woman. And Judges 16:13 says;
“And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.” Unknown to Samson that, ‘when you are in the enemies camp, your secret or strength is not save.’ Sadly, Delilah cut off the seven locks, and his strength left him.
In conclusion, Judges 16:23 stated that; “Then the lords of the Philistines…said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.” How sad! Samson was mocked by the people who normally tremble at his name, he became a puppet master, entertaining his enemies. May you not loose your glory in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
My destiny will not be cut off. And I will not be mocked by the enemies.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to keep to divine instructions. May I not make fool of myself, before my enemies in Jesus name. Amen.
