BEWARE OF FAKE AND DANGEROUS LOVE!
Judges 16:15-20 NLT
"Then Delilah pouted, “How can you tell me, ‘I love you,’ when you don’t share your secrets with me? You’ve made fun of me three times now, and you still haven’t told me what makes you so strong!” She tormented him with her nagging day after day until he was sick to death of it. Finally, Samson shared his secret with her. “My hair has never been cut,” he confessed, “for I was dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as anyone else.” Delilah realized he had finally told her the truth, so she sent for the Philistine rulers. “Come back one more time,” she said, “for he has finally told me his secret.” So the Philistine rulers returned with the money in their hands. Delilah lulled Samson to sleep with his head in her lap, and then she called in a man to shave off the seven locks of his hair. In this way she began to bring him down, and his strength left him. Then she cried out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” When he woke up, he thought, “I will do as before and shake myself free.” But he didn’t realize the Lord had left him".
Today is St. Valentine's day.
Many ugly things will happen today in the lives of many naïve young people in the name of love.
Talking about love, I do not believe in "Valentine love", it is a fake, deceptive and hypocritical love. Real love is not an annual event; it is an everyday experience. Real love is not a one day per year expression; it is a lifetime sharing. Real love is not a one day per year jamboree; it is a lifelong celebration and sacrifice.
Dear little daughter and sister in Christ, why should a man take from you today your irreplaceable glory, your virginity, with a plate of food, a bottle of ice cream or a piece of " suya"? Why should you fall for the Delilah's type of "I love you" that will eventually render you empty and emotionally paralyzed and bring you tears and regret for the rest of your life?
Samson was physically strong and spiritually anointed, but he was no match for the power of deception carried by Lady Delilah. Deception is powerful my dear. That was what removed Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden. Deception is the strongest weapon in the hand of Satan, the Master Deceiver. Every deceiver operates in the anointing of Satan. They are representatives of his kingdom. They come to steal, kill and destroy!
Beloved, watch what you will do today and what you will allow anyone to do to you in the name of love. If you are not married, keep yourself from Valentine s*x in the name of love.
By the way, s*x is never a true expression of love. S*x has its place in marriage but s*x can never be the proof of love. Anyone who demand for s*x to proof love is a child sponsored from the pit of hell. Beware!
Delilah was a machinery, she had a mission which was unknown to Samson. All that Samson knew was the "I love you" repeatedly recited in poetical tunes from Delilah's sweet voice. He was totally ignorant of the 5,500 pieces of silver contract over his life.
Today, you have a decision to make, especially you, my lady! Are you still a virgin or you are a restored and renewed virgin in Christ? Today is a day of serious decision. Do you have an outing with your so call val? Watch it! S*x is not love. If you are still in doubt, ask General Samson Manoah!
In this day of pseudo love, whose side will you be?
I am on the Lord's side!
May the Lord empower you to stand for Him in Jesus name.
Stay blessed and in His will!
