One Lesson To Learn From The World's Strongest Man Ever
He was an epitome of a one-man army. He was such a mighty warrior and man of valor that he could singlehandedly take on the whole army of a nation and yet emerge victorious. John 15:1-16
He once held a whole nation and all of their military might to ransom by himself, that even if he was alone and they were many, if they saw him coming, they would deem it wise to flee than to confront him. His name alone was such a terror to them that even if he weren't anywhere close, just calling his name could give them panic attacks.
He gave them sleepless nights, day and nightmares at the time that whenever they held a meeting, he would be the one name on everyone's lips. The whole agenda and focus of the meeting would be on how to stop him. Judges 16:5
He also fought a lion with his bare hands and still won the battle easily.
Judges 14:6 (KJV)
And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
So Samson had been there and done that when it came to greatness and fame, however there came a time when Samson crashed. He fell so greatly as his monumental rise, that it was the same enemies that once used to dread him that were now using him to catch fun and make jokes.
They even took out his eyes to compound his misery, as he was now their prisoner, so they wanted to use the opportunity to eke out and make him pay for all the terror and pain he caused them.
The reason for Samson's shameful fall was pride and lust. He lost focus on God who gave him such an unprecedented ability and began to chase the carnal things of life that came as a result.
He made a terrible mistake by forsaking God who was the Source of his strength, hence his fall, however instead of giving up on himself and allowing that sin and shame to keep him away from God as it did Adam and Eve in the beginning, it made him to come back and draw closer to God, asking for His help.
Judges 16:28 (KJV)
And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
God heard Samson's prayer and made him strong again as he used to be that it was said that in his death, he achieved a much greater feat than he had done in his entire lifetime.
Judges 16:29-30 (KJV)
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
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.
So no matter how far you've gone away from God, no matter how low you've consequently fallen, don't give up on yourself because God has not given up on you.
Do not let your sin and shame keep you away from God as it did Adam and Eve.
Instead come back to God who is able to mend your broken pieces and make an even better you than you ever was.
That's one lesson to learn from Samson the strongest man that ever lived.
God bless. David killed a lion and a bear .... Doesn't that qualify him strongest? |

The great Samson was brought down by Delilah |
| Re: Samson: One Lesson To Learn From The World's Strongest Man Ever by Tickles001(m): 9:33am On Sep 04, 2022 |
The lesson here is clear. DON'T BE A WOMAN WRAPPER!
Only a woman is capable of pulling you down even when the gods have blessed you. But that can only happen when you love them, which eventually turns you to mumu.
Adam, Samson and Ahab were brought down by a woman. What do all these men have in common?
They all loved, listened to, and obeyed a woman.
You can have sexual affair with as many women as you want without entirely loosing your glory. But once you hand yourself over to a woman in the name of love, then prepare to be traumatized. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

hopefulLandlord:
Story of Samson is arguably the most absurd story ever!!!!
Samson was a man given ultimate power by Yaweh but fell in the hands of Delilah to the philistines.
Delilah tried to get the deepest secret samson ever had, the secrets of his power...and the story went like this:
1st attempt: After much pressure, Samson gave Delilah a wrong answer "If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."
And behold the very next day, Samson was bound with seven green withes..
People tell me, even the most stupidest person in the world will realise at this point he has been betrayed, but dont laugh yet as there was attempt no 2
No 2: After the 1st failed, the strongest man had no clue his most precious secret has been given away by the only woman he told but went ahead to bow to more pressure and he gave another wrong answer as "If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."
Behold, the very next day, his hands were tied with the new ropes but is it not amazing that he still had no clue he was being betrayed?? Now at this point I am almost passing out of shock for this level of stupidity if it ever existed
Attempt no 3: Yes there was a 3rd attempt, believe me a 3rd attempt !!!!!
"If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
and yet it happened again.
Even if someone is cursed with stupidity, it cant be this terrible to now give a 4th chance of eventually revealing his most precious secret to som1 that has betrayed him 3 times consecutively..
Aba!!! bible stories ??
Now guys, don't laugh off your eyes yet because the part that killed it all was after the philistines cut off his hair and finally caught the most dreaded enemy of their generation.
These guys knew his source of power was his hair, but it is astonishing that a large number of stupid people did not know hairs can grow...or did not know that they would need to shave off his hairs daily but they let him alone till his hairs grew back.
The writer (s) must be on some strong stuff; but christians believe this story!! infact they have an obligation to You have started again with your kulikuli, amala and kasala analysis, if you post on nairaland.com again, I will give you 5 billion lashes of koboko laden with chilly pepper  2 Likes |

So in a nutshell, you don't believe the story right? Each time I once believed Samson killed a lion, I always feel like giving myself slap.. No human being can last 20 secs with a lion face to face. A lion does not just kill, it hunt. Lion will hunt you down within 5secs. It will grab you on your neck down to oesophagus and that’s all.. Bible or whatever that tells a lion story is a man made book. It was all written. There’s no element of truth in it. 99% of all what they circulated to the public regarding history are all lies.. Same applies to Mary giving birth a virgin. It’s another made up story. Without sperm, their can never be fertilization. If there was anything like Mary, then she must have been raped but it wouldn’t sound great, that was why they changed the story.. Why did I partly believe it was a rape? Because there was high immorality during the era of Jesu. Men of those era do treat women like shiiit. They don’t get married to them. They just grab, fuckkkk and pass.. Jesus Christ resurrect is another fallacy. No human has ever die and come back. I repeat, the movie you watched and the man made story you read doesn’t justify it was the truth.. White men are evil. If they’re not, they wouldn’t come to Africa to steal from us and enslaved us. 9 Likes 2 Shares

I'm not talking about what is a sin and what is not. Two of those men have been having sex with other women and nothing happened. What brought them down wasn't because they sinned. But because they became woman wrapper. Those men would have retained their glory if they didn't listen and obey a woman, regardless if they had extramarital sex not. Take Job for example. If he had listened to his wife. What do you think would have become of him. Do you think he would be preserved because he was having marital sex? |
