Samson: Strong People Poor Decisions.
There are life skills that are required to succeed in all aspects of life. Skills like marketing, finance, communication, emotional intelligence, and self-control.
π Emphasizing self-control, he mentioned that one of the ways to avoid sexual immorality is to marry.
(1 Cor 7:2-5)
π The devil always finds a way to make you step out of the protection that God has placed over you.
(Num 31:16)
Things to learn from the Samson story
πGenius is context-specific: Invest in knowledge, learn your limits, and get better in specific areas
πThe success makes you think you are invincible.
(Judges 16:4-5, 17, Judges 6:8-9, judges 10)
π The devil does not come like a monster, he comes in such a way that makes you question your consecrations, some of which are:
β’ Good advice
β’ Scientific opinion
β’ Behavioural science
π Things to do to help your self-control
β’ Change your environment (both virtual and physical)
β’ Control the exposure
β’ Create a system of accountability
You have a part to play in the fulfillment of prophecy, one major part is your self-discipline.
