you all should learn from Samson mistake, making a wrong choice affects our life negatively.
Samson choosed to to die with his enemies,he requested that and God granted him his heart desire.
In Numbers,Deuteronomy,it's written I set before you life and death,blessing and curse ,choose one.
In Samson's case,he choosed death,to die with his enemies. I will never die with my enemies.
I will conquer my enemies and live to testify the goodness of the lord in the land of the living not in the land of the dead.

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.

From the time of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, women have been the irresistible downfall of many men.

By the way, Delilah was not her name but her description.

Delilah is a Hebrew word "Hebrew: דלילה‎‎" meaning 'She who weakend'. Anyone who weakens is a Delilah.
That was her name.

Note that names have meanings. For instance, your name has a meaning. Find out if you don't know yet.

Shalom.

Re: What Can We Learn From The Life Of Samson? by Nobody: 9:00am On Jun 11, 2017
What I learnt about Samson
1. Know your enemy and destroy them totally. Samson ruled for 20 years and he did not kill up to 3000 philistines, the bible records that his body count at his death was more than throughout his entire life.
2. Never be sentimental with women. If a woman betrays you to the extent of threatening your life, never take her back unless you are planning to get rid of her. Never confuse sex with love, sex her if you must, but keep an open mind she can be the enemy. Who she is to you is irrelevant, your wife, the street slut, the reverend sister, question is do u consent that anyone can come in and destroy your life? . I'm made to believe women actually hate men by default...from Adam and eve, to Samson, to the modern day scam called marriage, divorce, alimony and child support.
3. Never follow prostitutes, they accelerate bad luck. It was when Samson slept with a harlot in judges 16 that his woes began, food for thought: what gave the Philistines the sudden boldness to bring Samson down after he had previously subdued them for 20 years? His spirit man had been weakened (recall he was a nazarite under consecration, he was supposed to embody holiness) fornication with prostitutes ( especially those ones with demonic spirits) opens a hole in your spiritual hedge for the devils to attack...remember dragon was the one that was praised when Samson finally was in chains...(it shows that samson's fall wasn't just a physical affair, it was spiritually orchestrated). Nothing good can come out of relating with a known harlot. If you know a harlot...keep that in mind.
4. Never forget your source. Not once is it mentioned that Samson went to seek God's face in prayer or a retreat, even Jesus with all his power more than frequently sought the face of God. Live with the awareness that if God leaves you for one second you are done for. ( judges 16 records that when he tried to break his bounds, he didn't know that the spirit of the Lord had left him, even Jesus Christ with all His power, once God just turned his face from him for once, death took him).
Never forget your source. Your daily prayer should be that God shouldn't leave nor forsake you.
5. Always keep to the terms of your consecration.

Lord save me from karashika

Never know this tale this much, thumbs up to Nairaland.
Samson was not just stupid but was foolish as well.. how can such brave man lack wisdom to discern who the enemy was? I think his dullard way of bravery aids his death. lesson to learn.
Do not believe your enemy are only the once you are fighting but extend your search to people who pleases you and in disguise are your enemy.. Never trust any man..

Believe this story of Samson and you can believe virtually anything, trust me! Killed a lion with his bare hands, killed thousands of Philistines, the secret of his power lay in his hair (but we forget conveniently that hair grows back) , could not resist temptation of the flesh as he was hanging out with an olosho on a regular and his stoopid brain could not discern that.to all the brainwashed folks out there, I say weldone. Keep believing all these tales by moonlight!

The bible says expressly in Judges 16:4 that Samson fell in Love with a woman named Delilah.
That was her name. Samson had a history of rejecting wisdom. He ate honey from the dead animal which as a Nazarene he was not suppose to touch. He went after female unbelievers, he always put people on the spot- his former wife was burn to fire with her entire family by the Philistines.- result of meeting the wrong man. His was a case of anointing without character. Dangerous combination.

The following life lessons can be learnt from the story of Samson.
1. Just like him, we are are born to fulfill a particular purpose.

2. In the fulfillment of our God ordained mandates, certain rules must be observed, failure of which could cost us our destiny/ or life.

3. Like Samson, youthful exuberance could lead us into rebellious behaviour against our parents/established authorities.

4. Samson, like the prodigal son teaches us that it is never too late to call on God.
