THE SLEEP OF SAMSON

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The sleep of Samson:

It is very sad to know that many men are sleeping the sleep of Samson. They leave their wives at home and locate a local Delilah somewhere and are sleeping there. To worsen their case, their friends who will come and smoke cigarette at their funeral are encouraging them to die.

Samson, whose birth was prophesied by an angel, a supernatural man, could not withstand the lap of Delilah.

Judges 16:19 says, And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. The seven locks of head stand for perfection.

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THE SLEEP OF SAMSON?

It is the sleep of presumption. That is the spirit of I can handle it, no problem, the spirit of over-confidence.

Samson knew that he was in danger for Delilah was after the secret of His power, but he could not help himself. Delilah made him to sleep on her knees and she cut off his hair. When he awoke due to the cry of the Philistines, he said, I will go out like other times. But the Bible says that he did not know that the Lord had departed from him. He was surprised that day because he had presumed that everything was still okay. Then his eyes were pulled out and he was made to grind pepper in the mill of the enemy.

It is wrong to presume that you are safe and therefore place yourself in danger. One day, you may wake up and find that the Lord has departed from you.

Stop the act and be awake to the reality of what God will make you do or do through you, man's effort is nothing, don't sleep the sleep of Samson.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, KILL EVERY POWER OF FLESH IN ME AND LET YOU WILL GUIDE MY LIFE TO THE GLORY OF YOUR NAME.
