     | 11,902 views

    A study of waste and wasted potential. Samson had such potential to be a great man of God. Instead of treasuring the gifts he'd been given, he wasted his strength on his own desires.

    What a Waste Seeds: some background notes from a Steve Malone message/outline. 1. I’m aggravated by waste. 2. Waste: wasted time (waiting in line, or at the doctor, or to get your driver’s license), wasted food (seeing food thrown away, or left on the plate), wasted money (government ...read more

    The message endeavours to explore the tragic life of Samson, a man given to pursue his own will despite the rich blessings of God and the call to serve as a Judge of Israel.

    “Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a prostitute, and he went in to her. The Gazites were told, ‘Samson has come here.’ And they surrounded the place and set an ambush for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, ‘Let us wait till the ...read more

    Samson is often seen as the example of how NOT to be a man of God. But Hebrews 11 lists him in the chapter of faith. So what is it about Samson and his faith that we need to learn?

    Samson was man of supernatural strength given by God but was overwhelmed by the inward sexual desire through the enticement of Delilah. He should have run, but he did not. We can learn valuable lessons from his life.

Last week, we looked at the highlights of Samson's life - the three W's - Samson's Wedding, Samson's Wager and Samson's Wrath. We have learned first of all that Samson insisted in marrying the woman in Timnah ...read more

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 7,761 views

    The Story Of Samson Is One Of The Saddest In The Bible. David, Elijah, Peter, Moses, Jacob, all came back. Samson did, but partially. He was gifted to be God’s man in Israel’s critical hour. But he misused his privilege and partially fulfilled his mission - an example for us all.

    If you are familiar with biblical stories, you will immediately recognize the name Delilah. Delilah is an ancient name of Hebrew and Arabic origins. In both Hebrew and Arabic, the name means "delicate." Delilah was the love interest of Samson, who was famed for his great strength.

    When The Ark Of God Is Captured By The Enemy

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jun 18, 2021
     | 4,111 views

    The ark of God represents the presence of God. It was the symbol of God's power and glory in the nation of Israel. When the bearer of the ark of God allows sin to reign in his heart, the presence of God departs from the ark.

    TEXT: 1 Samuel 4:10-11 (NLT) "So the Philistines fought desperately, and Israel was defeated again. The slaughter was great; 30,000 Israelite soldiers died that day. The survivors turned and fled to their tents. The Ark of God was captured, and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were ...read more

    Manipulation

    Manipulation is a demonic spirit that one must be delivered from, so that one would not manipulate others and one would not be manipulated.

    What is manipulation? In my own understanding, manipulation is: • An act of tactically influencing another person mind into thinking or doing what they would not have otherwise thought or done. • A demonic and afflicting spirit, because of the characters it exhibits.
