      DCLM Daily Manna Devotional 29 May 2025 Message Written By Pastor W.F Kumuyi

      Read DCLM Daily Manna Devotional 29 May 2025, Thursday Message.

      TOPIC: How Not To Handle Gifts

      KEY VERSE:
      “And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.” – (Judges 16:3).

      READ: Judges 16:1-9 (NIV)

      16 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute. He went in to spend the night with her. 2 The people of Gaza were told, “Samson is here!” So they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They made no move during the night, saying, “At dawn we’ll kill him.”

      3 But Samson lay there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.

      4 Some time later, he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah. 5 The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, “See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels[a] of silver.”

      6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”

      7 Samson answered her, “If anyone ties me with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I’ll become as weak as any other man.”

      8 Then the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him with them. 9 With men hidden in the room, she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” But he snapped the bowstrings as easily as a piece of string snaps when it comes close to a flame. So the secret of his strength was not discovered.

      MESSAGE:
      Many times, people appear to selfishly and arrogantly arrogate to themselves the exaggerated influence and power that are given to them by God or a higher authority. This misplaced and elevated sense of importance makes them resort to self-management and self-conceit. Very often, the result of this posture is a disaster with far-reaching consequences.

      This was the experience of Samson who was raised by God to be a judge in Israel. He was a Nazarite, which means he was fully set apart solely for the service of God. And he was greatly successful in the assignments. But it would seem that the more successful he was, the more careless and self-conceited he became. He depended on his raw, physical strength, and ignored his reliance on and devotion to God.

      No record of his time of worship or raising an altar for God. Samson became vulnerable to the sin of immorality until he landed on the lap of Delilah, the wily and treacherous Philistine woman. She got into a deal with the rulers of their nation to entice Samson to reveal the source of his great strength so they could neutralise him.

      Blinded by lust, Samson soon began telling lies and making jokes about his God-given power. It must remain the greatest marvel of all time that Samson did not consider it odd that Delilah seemed focused on the source of the greatest gift he received from God.

      Our gifts from God are meant to honour Him, render acceptable service to the Lord, and serve humanity. And because we receive gifts from God, there is no room for boasting, showmanship, or playing to the gallery. Retaining the gifts for enduring service and usefulness requires discipline, discretion, and deliberate restraints in the face of provocation and temptation to misuse the gifts.

      THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A gift brings a lift to the wise and a drift to the unwise.
