KEY SCRIPTURE: Judge 16:1 KJV “Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
Samson had a vow of a Nazarite over his life. Num 6:2 KJV” Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:” The law of the Nazarite demanded that he keeps himself from any unclean thing. He was not to drink any wine whether freshly pressed or fermented, that is alcoholic. His hair was his symbol of dedication meaning no razor was supposed to touch his hair. Unfortunately, Samson acted on a number of occasions as if he was an ordinary person. He was not supposed to touch a dead body, whether man or animal. He found honey in the dead body of the lion he killed and scooped some to eat. Samson, because of lack of discipline was eventually captured and his two eyes were plugged off.
Samson had not been cautious about the opposite sex. The Bible said one would become like a piece of bread if he aligns with a whorish woman. Pro 6:26 KJV” For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.” Dear one these matters are very serious and every child of God must preserve his or her vessel against defiling it. Your status does not matter, you would be cast of your feet. Pro 7:26 KJV” For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.” The anointing attracts lots of people to you. Remember Potiphar’s wife, who saw the great anointing on Joseph’s life which made her take amorous advances toward him. Joseph feared God and so He ran away from that error. May you flee from all appearances of sin.
What shall a man, do to keep himself from such pitfalls.? he anointed man must not visit certain places unaccompanied. He must have a special aide who stays and goes to certain places with him, or her. He must maintain a very strong devotional life. Ps 119: 9, 11.
Remember Apostle Paul’s precautionary measures.1Co 9:27 KJV But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. May you apply these suggestions and scriptural demands to keep yourself from error.
CONFESSION
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your grace that has given me total victory over sin. My heart is focused on pleasing you, in all I do. I maintain a very committed devotional life and put my members under subjection.
THOUGHT: NO MATTER YOUR HEIGHTS OF GLORY MAINTAIN YOUR FEAR OF GOD
