LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF SAMSON

Recently, God was showing me something about the life of Samson that I want to share with you.

A man named Manoah had a wife who had been barren for years, and one day an angel appeared to her that she was going to have a son.

The son was going to be very special. He was going to be the next judge and deliverer of Israel. As a result, she was asked to be careful what she ate or drank.

See it for yourself,

"The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. So be careful; you must not drink wine or any other alcoholic drink nor eat any forbidden food” - Judges 13:3-4

Later on in that chapter, God also spoke to the husband relaying the same information because of the importance of the child they’re carrying.

Why am I sharing this with you?

To remind you that you are carrying something!

You are carrying something within you that will change nations and transform generations after you.

You may not be aware or have forgotten, and as a result, be taking your life and purpose for granted.

In addition, because of what you’re carrying, you cannot afford to behave anyhow! You cannot afford to do what others are doing.

Others may be doing it, and they’re not harmed but you can’t afford it. You can't eat or drink what they're taking because you are different!

If you do it, you may be threading dangerously because of what you’re carrying. YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENT! YOU ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION WITH A CALLING!

If you do it, you are likely to miscarry what you’re carrying! What you’re carrying is too precious to act anyhow, talk anyhow, or live anyhow.

Just like the angel told the woman, “BE CAREFUL”, I have come to remind you today, to live carefully because of what you’re carrying.

God is counting on you and generations await God’s manifestations through you.

You’re carrying something!

Be careful! I believe in you.
