WIVES: LESSONS FROM MISS DELILAH OF THE VALLEY OF SOREK

Scripture:
‘AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTERWARD, THAT HE LOVED A WOMAN IN THE VALLEY OF SOREK, WHOSE NAME WAS DELILAH.’
(JUDGES 16: 4)

AS A WOMAN, YOUR BEAUTY NATURALLY ATTRACTS members of the opposite sex and that’s exactly what happened when Samson saw Delilah and took interest in her. It’s the same thing that happened when your Husband saw you, got lovestruck and married you.

 

Once Samson was in her world, Delilah made sure her outward appearance that drew him didn’t decline. She ensured that Samson’s eyes were ever riveted on her.

πŸ“– QUICK LESSON: DON’T BE CARELESS WITH YOUR OUTWARD APPEARANCE. ALWAYS LOOK ATTRACTIVE TO YOUR HUSBAND.

 

As Delilah’s Lover, Samson was as free as the wind. He moved freely in Sorek, saw other women but always returned to Delilah! Why? Because the lady was simply gracious and spoilt him silly: sumptuous meals presented on time and in best dishes! She’d kneel down while presenting each meal: “Sammy My Love, rise and eat. Your meal is ready”, she’d say in a gentle and loving voice; her beautiful face aglow with a seductive smile. And how would Samson not be drawn even closer to her?

πŸ“– QUICK LESSON: EVERYMAN ENJOYS A RESPECTFUL, CLEAN AND SEDUCTIVE WOMAN. BE A SWEET AND RESPECTFUL WOMAN TO YOUR HUSBAND!

 

But how about what actually brought Samson to her? Oh, trust Delilah! She wasn’t so stupid as to give the Warrior all else and be stingy with the real thing the man came for. No, not Delilah. Infact, she refused to be like very many wives who hide “that thing” from their husbands but only give it to them in small or even nano measures once in a while, so that “he won’t see them as too cheap”. But Delilah had a wise mind. How? She knew all too well that there were hundreds of other ladies in Sorek, who would turn Samson’s heart away from her if they just had as much as twenty minutes audience with him. So, she took no chances with Sam’s sexual appetites. She satieted him constantly. And she did so merrily and heartily each time. Never with grumblings , murmuring and frowns as many housewives do.

πŸ“– QUICK LESSON: DON’T TAKE CHANCES WITH YOUR HUSBAND’S SEXUAL APPETITE. REMEMBER, YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY WOMAN. THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN YOU!

 

Furthermore, Delilah left all other men for as long as Samson was with her. That was wisdom!

But what do we have today? Some properly married wives are reconnecting with their “Ex” right from the home of their unsuspecting husbands!

πŸ“– QUICK LESSON: REPENT AND DISCONNECT WITH ALL YOUR “EX”s. DELETE THEIR PHONE NUMBERS.

 

Now, let’s get even more down-to-earth. When your husband touches your waist you get upset. He tries to touch your breasts, you pull back. Your Butts are “No Go Area”. He looks at you when you’re undressing, you angrily reprimand him. To have sexual intimacy with you, he must plead and plead before you consent. Madam, the questions are: Please, who are you reserving or conserving your Body for ? If Delilah had tried that with Samson, would he have stayed with her for even three days? No!

πŸ“– QUICK LESSON: MARRIAGE IS A ONE FLESH LIFE. FREELY GIVE YOUR BODY TO YOUR HUSBAND!

 

If Delilah generously released all her womanhood just so as to betray and destroy a righteous man FOR MONEY, what are you as a Christian wife doing to protect your husband from immorality, sexually transmitted diseases and the disgraceful and untimely death that they bring? If Delilah went to great lengths to make Samson powerless and to present him to the Philistines to destroy, what are you doing to present your dear husband to God as a pure and undefiled vessel for His usage in His end-time programme?

πŸ“– QUICK LESSON: POUR ALL OF YOURSELF INTO HELPING YOUR HUSBAND TO BECOME THE MAN GOD WANTS HIM TO BE.

 

πŸ·πŸ— GRAND LESSON: DELILAH LABOURED TO PRESENT SAMSON TO THE PHILISTINES FOR DESTRUCTION. LABOUR TO PRESENT YOUR HUSBAND A MORALLY PURE VESSEL FOR GOD’S USAGE AND GLORY!
