Even though he lived a reckless life he still managed to fulfil God's purpose on earth and was named in the Scriptures as a hero of faith.

goodheart02:




Delilah was never his wife. Go back to the Bible

muyoge:


You were supposed to modify your first submission. You'd just change "is to was".

Praktikals:
Boss, I cant blame him. Konji always make us do stupid things.

uboma:



Don't be too confident.


Not all men will fall for the tricks of women.


of course, Samson fell once but later repented....

ichuka:
When we read Judges and see the strength of Samson, it becomes clear to us that the Holy Spirit can bestow great strength upon man's body.Although Samson did many immoral things and although the Holy Spirit may not necessarily give this great strength to every believer, one thing is certain: if we depend upon His indwelling, we will always obtain His strength to supply all of our daily needs.

1StopRudeness:


I concur....becos when he told her the fake answer the first and second time she Went and called the philistines but Samson was able to treat all their fucck up sharpally....there, he shuld have realized this woman is not just trying to know my secret for knowing sake but to pull me down....

He now took his stupidity to the legendary phase by telling her... thinking she won't look for a convenient way of shaving his hair with him knowing.....no man is perfect though....but for a guy...Samson ain't sharp at all

Pidgin2:


You might be worse than him so stop judging

What I learned is the importance of focus, which Samson seemed to lack

GrandFinale2017:
he repented in the grave. That's not it bro

bonifieldstun:
I learnt that too much chukuchuku can ruin a mans life if he go and plait chuku with the wrong babe

bolinjkezzy:
The only thing I learnt from his story is not to be stupid.... The guy is really stupid

omoelerin1:
that was what responsible for his down fall

What can we learn from the life of Samson? How is understanding the life of Samson valuable to our spiritual growth? (See Judges chapters 13 to 16).

manikspears:

Let me start by saying may God never allow you to see boobs war, you see that thing called boobs can mar people's future, don't say you are exempted o,except you are gay.when you put your head on a woman's chest you become a goner.that thing can make you sell your soul to the devil without thinking of the consequence. You think you are wiser because you read it millions of years later....my guy you are not,there was a president that was trapped through that means or have you forgotten?about the part of his hair growing back yes it started growing but his strength did not return until when he asked for it and who could have thought a blind man could do so much damage? definitely not you.

Lizy100:


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.

hopefulLandlord:
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.

The writer (s) must be on some strong stuff; but christians believe this story!! infact they have an obligation to

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,

This 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.

This great. Respect for the insight. I also believe he was arrogant and too proud.

Lord save me from karashika

Wife..concubine.. prostitute That's irrelevant
The subject of the matter is that he was very stupid
