LIVING WATER - CAC DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

WHAT DELILAH FORGOT
READ JUDGES 16: 4-5, 13-20
MEMORISE: Atleast there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and it's new shoots will not fail. (Job 14vs7)

May evil contractors targeting your destiny misfire, in the name of Jesus (amen). Delilah who was contracted on account of Samson's destiny did a perfect job from the point of view of her masters, but forgot something. Or she was ignorant of it? May be she deliberately ignored it. At least, she would have gotten her pay. As samson's hair would grow again his strength would be renewed/restored.
The Nazarite covenant between Samson and God would still come to play. In the prison, Samson had the opportunity to reflect on his ungodly youthful exuberance, especially 'his going down' to ally with God's enemies (16:1; KJV).

As he reflected on his mistakes, he must have begun to remember the terms of the covenant he had with God as communicated to him by his parents. He reformatted and restarted his consecration at that juncture. He called on the LORD. God wouldn't ignore who calls upon Him in his distress (Psa 50:15; Rom 10:13). Added to this is the fact that God intended to use him to deliver His people from their oppressors.
God rose to the occasion as his cut hairs began to grow. Delilah and his cohorts misfired. As the hair regrew, his strength resurfaced. All of a sudden, mighty Arm of the LORD came upon him to effect the destruction of the enemies.
Take note: Is there any situation that seems as if the devil is taking upper hedge in your life? Just return to God, repent if it is sin that caused it, and humbly ask for God's help. You will laugh last, because the devil and his cohorts will soon discover they have made the worst mistake by attacking you. Remember what became of the envious brothers of Joseph.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Ask God for forgiveness in areas where you deserted His way.
2. Lord help me to be careful not to release my secret to enemies pretending to be friends.
3. Put the devil to shame over his moves against the church in this land.
