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
