Samson conquered
“And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson.
And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before,
and shake myself.
And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes,
and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass;
and he did grind in the prison house.”
Judges 16:20, 21
Suggested Further Reading:
Colossians 2:1-8
Do any of you wish to be backsliders?
Do you wish to betray the holy profession of your religion?
My brethren, is there one among you who this day makes a profession of love to Christ,
who desires to be an apostate? Is there one of you
who desires like Samson to have his eyes put out,
and to be made to grind in the mill?
Would you, like David, commit a great sin, and go with broken bones to the grave? Would you, like Lot, be drunken, and fall into lust? No, I know what you say, “Lord, let my path be like the eagle’s flight; let me fly upwards to the sun, and never stay and never turn aside.
Oh, give me grace that I may serve thee, like Caleb, with a perfect heart, and that from the beginning even to the end of my days, my course may be as the shining light, which shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
I know what is your desire. How, then, shall it be accomplished? Look well to your consecration; see that it is sincere; see that you mean it, and then look up to the Holy Spirit, after you have looked to your consecration, and beg of him to give you daily grace; for as day by day the manna fell, so must you receive daily food from on high.
And, remember, it is not by any grace you have in you, but by the grace that is in Christ, and that must be given to you hour by hour, that you are to stand, and having done all, to be crowned at last as a faithful one, who has endured unto the end.
For meditation:
The best way to guard against backsliding is not to keep still, but to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:17,18).

If you are NOT a believer in Jesus Christ,
you can be accepted into his kingdom.
I invite you to let him to make of you what He always wanted.
"PRAYER"
Marvelous God Almighty,
I come to you in the precious name of Jesus,
who died for me to make me free of sin,
I want Jesus to enter into my heart and make me free.
I confess that He is the son of God.
I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand
your Holy Word full of promises of eternal value,
not only to live on this earth,
but to be expectant of my life in heaven.
In the precious name of Jesus I ask.
Amen..

“The true minister of Christ knows that
the true value of a sermon must lie,
not in its fashion and manner,
but in the truth which it contains.”
