TELL ME, THE SECRET OF YOUR GREAT STRENGTH BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA




TELL ME, THE SECRET OF YOUR GREAT STRENGTH BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

There she was, ready to humble him and make him become like every other person. He was feared among all the nations. Wherever he appears, he commands respect. His physique could make one shiver. Behold, he was a mighty man of valour, no one has ever conquered him. 

Behold he was a Nazarite! No razor has ever touched his head. He was consecrated from his mother's womb. For this reason was he born, to deliver his people the Israelites. 

He forgot his Nazarite oath and joined himself to an harlot. God was still depending on him. He saw another woman the great Delilah, he fell in love with her. 

What is the secret of this man's strength? Everybody keeps asking. Even his woman, Delilah was in the dark about this. She kept wondering about it too. 

Lady, please ask your man the secret of his strength and we shall give you some money. We need to get him, he has been our arch enemy. 

Day by day, she kept on asking him, " dear, please tell me the secret of your great strength." He didn't trust her so he kept on deceiving her. 

She caressed him, cooked delicacies for him and tried all what she could use to get him to tell her his secrets. 

The poor man should have paused for a second and think about her question. Why would she ask such sensitive question? 

The young man eventually told her the secret of his great strength. Behold! He was a Nazarite, no razor has ever touched his hair. If his hair were shaved, his strength would be gone.

She lured him into sleep on her laps. She must have cooked his favorite. Soundly, he slept on the strange woman's laps. She paid a man to shave him and there he lied helplessly. She beckoned on his enemies and they came in. 

He wanted to fight them but he discovered he couldn't. Who shaved my hair? he cried. She laughed him to scorn and he discovered he had been betrayed by the love of his life. 

So, she never loved me? With all the care she showered on me. 

His eye were plucked out, behold the shame. He died with his enemies at last. He didn't live to fulfill the purpose why he was born. 

Young minister, escape from that strange woman because all she is after is your end. 

 So Delilah said to Samson, "Tell me, dear, the secret of your great strength, and how you can be tied up and humbled." Judges 16:6

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms.  Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts.   One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT  A whole lot of things must have been conceived  in your mind before indulging in sex.  That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out.  Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please.  1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is  to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously.  2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall...
