We read the story of how Samson fell in love with Delilah and how he was lured into compromising his covenant with God. The truth remains that as long as Samson maintained his connection and fellowship with God, the moves of the enemy meant nothing. To have victory over traitors, your doctrine and fellowship matter a lot.
[Judges 16:4-6 KJV] “And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. And the Lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee”.
As long as Samson kept the word and connection with heaven, he was safe. If the enemy can get you to compromise your doctrine and fellowship, he will bind you with chain and afflict you. I declare that any person set in your life as a bait to trap you and afflict you for the enemy must be frustrated and made uncomfortable around you. Delilah was a dangerous bait, she was hired because of her closeness to Samson.
I declare that anybody whose closeness with you puts him or her in a position to be used or being used as bait is silenced. From today, their words will sound like nonsense to you.
Delilah is beautiful and good, but she was easily compromised by the promise of silver. Delilah loves money. Delilah will betray love for money. She was compromised by the promise of silver.
It will take discernment to overcome traitors. Samson could have lived longer to fulfill his destiny if he could discern that Delilah had been contracted by the lords of the Philistine. The lords of the Philistines had spoken to Delilah. Lack of discernment and understanding can cost you your vision, life, freedom, and honour. Samson was reduced to a laughing stock because he did not discern who Delilah had become.
I pray for you to wise up and escape the traps of the wicked. The Lord‘s of the Philistines are after you. May you escape the traps of the wicked. May God preserve and keep you. You shall not be consumed. You are more than a conqueror.
Stay blessed, I love you!
Lord I need the spirit of discernment to overcome traitors. Help me not to fall into the trap of those who pretend to love me but deep inside them are evil workers.
Am really bless with this powerful message.
God richly bless you Bishop.
Oh okay, so from this message, I realise that Delilah may have been a different person initially, somewhere along the line, she became a traitor, probably after she was offered silver from the 5 lords of the Philistines. So Samson’s error was his inability to discern that the woman he is ralating with and spending so much time with, has actually become a betrayor.
Very sad indeed, thank you for the eye opening message Bishop Simpe. May God open our eyes to see people for who they truly are, Amen!
on point!….people can change…
a refreshing caution & counsel for life and safety… worth reading
