While this story stands as a warning of what not to do, it is also a story that speaks of second chances.
He conquered through Grace
We serve a God of second chances. The grace of God is such that he refuses to cast us aside if we repent. The Bible tells us that “the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven” (Judges 16:22 NKJV).
That’s my life verse I am what you call follicle challenged As Samson’s hair began to grow, his strength began to return.
One night, as the Philistines were having a drunken feast to their false god, Dagon, someone came up with the idea of dragging out the sightless Samson so they could make fun of him.
Samson was guided by a servant to the foundational pillars of the temple, and in a final act of vengeance, he asked for strength from God and pushed the pillars apart. The temple collapsed, and Samson killed more Philistines in one moment than he had killed in his entire lifetime.
He conquered through Prayer
Judges 16vs 28 –“Oh God remember me”
James 4vs 7...Submit yourself to God resist the devil and he will flee-come near to God and He will come near to you.
The air in a room looks fine until the sun shines through the window and you see the particles of dust floating around .
If the light of Christ is not shining in your life you will think you are living in a clean room and you wont see the dirt hovering around you ,but when the light of Christ is shining in you are very sensitive to the dust of sin
He conquered through Death
Judges 16vs 30 “Let me die”
By his own death he triumphed
Mark 8vs 34… seek to lose your life in Christ it their you will find it
