***And you shall know the truth. And the truth will set you free!!!***

Samson the mighty judge did great exploits against the Philistines, the enemy of Israel. The name “Samson” means “sunshine” or “glory of the sun”. He had a supernatural birth because his mother was actually barren and could not conceive (Judges 13:3). An angel of the Lord announced his birth to her. So right from his mother’s womb, Samson was already consecrated unto the Lord. He was called to be a holy Nazirite from the day he was born.

Apart from the Levitical priests, the Nazirites were the only other group in Israel who were considered holy. By establishing the Nazirite order, God gave every Israelite an equal chance to be holy. All a person needed to do was to take the Nazirite vow and choose to separate himself wholly unto the Lord. The terms of the vow were as follows: (1) He was not to drink any strong drink. (2) He was not to cut his hair. (3) He was not to touch anything unclean. The Nazirites had voluntarily chosen to set themselves apart for God’s holy service (Num 6:1-8).

Samson was the mightiest and strongest man who ever lived. With his bare hands, he was able to tear a lion apart (Judges 14:6). On one occasion, Samson slew 30 Philistines by himself (Judges 14:19). On another occasion, he killed 1000 men with the jawbone of a donkey (Judges 15:15). One night, while the people were all sleeping, Samson went to the gate of the city of Gaza and he lifted the whole city gate on his shoulders and carried it to the top of Mount Hebron (Judges 16:3). Imagine carrying a city gate that weighed several tons on your shoulders for over 60km and then climbing up a mountain with it!

Where did Samson get his supernatural strength from? The secret was in his hair: “If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man” (Judges 16:17). The length of Samson’s hair was the measure of his consecration and faithfulness to the vow he had made to the Lord.

God’s supernatural power increases proportionately to the level of holiness in your life. Consecration is always the source of authority, power and strength. The more you separate yourself unto Him, the more God can pour out His anointing upon you.

Today my sharing is abt the strength tt is able to be develop in us... Actually ytd night sth bad happen to the family... Evreyone is not in a gd mood... But the most impt thing is tt everyone had lost their strength... TT is y things happen ytd night... Some have laboured but not receeive enough credit, others may have receive without repaying the credit tt leads to ytd night incident...Remeber to push fault to other but let other know y u think these ways... AS I said b4 the power of imagoination is too vast n stimes can be very vague... So u have to learn to take control of ur imagination n not let it run wild... Same goes to the strength tt is bestow unto u... Similar to God bestowing Samson the power of strength but if u dun know how to control it will become a disaster... If u continue to read the story abt Samson, he was actually eventually die together with the Philistines... If God is for him, y not God kill the Philistines n not Samson... But I will say God did not kill Samson but it is because Samson lose control of his ability tt leads to his death...

So ppl we have to learn along the process and not keep on lingering in our past ( failure, victory, hurtz, joy and etc...) but continue to move on n strengthen ourselves n moving on... It is not juz for GOD alone but also for urself... Remember God create u here for a PURPOSE... Cuz u may have been thru failure tt other may not been thru but it does not means others do not have failure... Yes u may have suffer but doesn't means other dun... So instead of blaming, y not we help each other up... The more u help, the more u gain...
