There is
a
destiny tied on every
individual immediately an individual is born, but not fulfilling the destiny
which God has planned
for such person would amount to a
wasteful existence. In fulfilling
one’s destiny, God always assigns people who would help us in achieving this
task because the journey to self discovery is a very long one. In this journey,
such destiny helpers should be prayerfully discovered because an
eagle flies with only an
eagle not with turkey or vulture; they can't play together because it will slow
down the destiny of an eagle. So
there are some people who we shouldn't connect with on your journey to your destiny.
If Samson would be privileged to come back on earth, what do you
think he would do? definitely to amend or redeem his
mistakes and errors; and to warn sons of God about destiny destroyers. No doubt
he would
have nothing in common with Delilah.
Samson was a promised child with excellent credentials Judges13:3-5, 14:5-6, 15:4-5, 16:3 assigned to help the
children of Israel but became a piece of bread in the hands of his foe. Read prov.6:25-28,1peter 5:8.
I have discovered that people with glorious
destinies most often
don't end well, except
such individuals
have determined to end well
and has read history of
past heroes,
how they succeeded, failed and what made them to be a failure or success. The greatest thing in life
is to connect with the right person. Our savour Jesus Christ never mingled with the pharisees, Saducees. The only people he made as friends were his disciples and the
sinners, he
is not a friend to hypocrites.
Among
the seventy disciples comes twelve, among the twelve, he picked three and
finally prefer one who is John the beloved.
Samson was a man of great physical strength with great weaknesses too, so when you see a great
man, you
will definitely see great weaknesses around such individual
if not managed well. e.g Moses, Abraham, Solomon, Elijah, David, Gideon etc.
According to the biblical text, apart from Samson's
weaknesses, Deliliah
was assigned to destroy his destiny and his generation which she did
successfully because Samson never had a child. The chracter of
Delilah can be summarized as follows:
*She
is very greedy- Judges
16:4-6 she exchanged
her love for money, she
was offered 11000 piece of silver by five Philistines lord to trick Samson. Also greed destroyed
Gehazi (2king5:21), Judas Iscariot, Ananias and Saphira. Be careful og
greedy people less they destroy you.
*She is Fake - She faked her feelings of love for Samson in order to destroy his destiny. Delilah
is not the only such lady, in today’s world,
there are some ladies who fake feelings to trap destinies too. Watch out for
such ladies. Be careful
*She capitalized on Samson's
weakness to destroy
him. Every
individual on earth has weaknesses but should be careful who shares your
weaknesses or whom you share your
weakness to; sharing
your secret is disastrous especially
to someone who is greedy and fake. Deliliah never shared her secrets or weaknesses to Samson but Samson did. The only person you
can share your secret with
is Jesus. He will heal your wound, help your weaknesses and strengthen you.
God is great because there is hope, Samson's life reveal how God can
use your weaknesses,
imperfections
to fulfill his plan.
Lessons to be learnt as a youth seeking for your destiny are:
*God can use bad situation or circumstances
to fulfill his purpose. Samson’s greatest weakness is lack of self control, and was
caught in bad situation Judges 14:1-2. God’s
purpose for our life is greater and bigger than our greatest mistakes.
*Free will but not free from the nemesis of
your own will or choice. The
step you take will either bring you closer to God or far from him.
*Choose a soul mate within your faith. Judges14:2. The soul mate you choose
will either mar or make you 2Corinth.6:14-16.
