THE HAIR OF THE ANOINTED!
Judges 16:19-22
Untill the anointed man fulfills his assignment, the anointing inside of him never really dies.
Samson was commissioned to not only defend Israel from the philistines, but was meant to be a menace to them and to bring deliverance to the Israelites. But contrary to script, the man whose destiny was meant to shine brightly for the greater good was cut down by his enemies owing to his failure to keep to the rules that governed his ordination. In every partnership between God and man, God has always kept his own end of the bargain, it is always man that falls short. By the reason of his weakness to women, Samson through the instrument of Delilah was shortchanged, and such a glorious destiny was derailed.
The anointing on Samson was so rare in that time to the extent that his calling was orchestrated with a divine manual of how his ordination was to be carried out unlike the other Judges before him. He was meant to be a Nazarite from birth. He was indeed, one of A Kind!
This man was once a thorn in the flesh of his enemies. His exploits was undoubtedly epic. He single handedly with bare hands tore a lion like a kid. Uprooted the gate of an entire city and used it for an early morning work out. He slew a thousand men just with one single Jaw-bone and drank water from it. He invented the fox/fire technology that razed down an entire corn harvest economy of a city. To worsen the matter, in Judges16:24, he earned the title of the destroyer of the nation and the Slayer of many.
Such awesome strenght dazzled understanding. But he failed to understand that though he displayed superhuman strenght, the source was human and can be deciphered. His only secret, the holy Grail....."No razor on my hair till I die". But he was like a boy in adults garments. With no guidance or submission to any authority whatsoever. He steamrolled his way through the rank and file of the both the hoy and unholy. His bed side jokes were one too many.He played too close to his ordination. From the deception of his strenght in the bow strings to the 7 green withs to the new ropes and to the weaving of his seven locks with a web and pin. His secret was highly threatened. That was too close for comfort. And as predicted, It was finally spilled on the knees of a master tactician, a skilled enticer that engaged the art of tears, urgings, and daily vexings to press out a hudden and sacred clue. And for 1100 pieces of silver she vowed to demystify source of the strenght.
For the first time in his life, he loved a woman and love led to his demise. And like a shooting star whose appearance and exit can only be best described like a flash, his strenght was gone. He was brought down to reality and for once in his life he felt restrained and restricted by mere fetters of brass. He not only became a grinder in the dungeon, he became a clown for mock ceremoniesa and laughter of foes. Because his strength was departed from him.
Has your destiny been derailed? Has a once dazzling knight been humiliated and its shining gem darkened by failures and regrettable mistakes. You that once dwelt on the top of the rock etham, has suddenly fallen in an unknown valley called Sorek. Has your love betrayed you and enticed you to sell your ordination? Has your parable been decoded and your secret password hacked and you feel exposed and vulnerable? What is sweeter than honey and what is stronger than a Lion?
"Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven". Judges 16:22
There is a consolation! The hair of the anointed will always grow again. There's no Delilah that can stop your hair from coming back to its tender and lush resurgence. You can bounce back!!!. You can rise again. You can lean on the pillars and sense the strenght rushing back again. Your shine can be reignited. Oh what a relief! The news of the century!
But the Enemy is not daft. He is wise not to be hit on a counter from a resurgent rise. There's no level playing field with the devil. He's a mean undertaker. Be careful because dining with the devil can be catastrophic. No wonder Delilah's skill can discover the secret of the hair. But only the Lords of the Philistines can remove the eyes. Samson didn't just lose his hair that day, he lost his eyes. Your hair can grow again. but th eyes is not made to reproduce itself. It is hardly replaced.
Oh great man of God, hear the voice of wisdom today. The anointing can flow again and the gifts too but sin is not after your hair, it is after your eyes. Hair can only birth strenght but such strenght can bury you and your enemies (like in the case of Samson), only eyes can show you the target. Vision is designed to see the future and greater exploits ahead, but the cry of hairs without sight says....Let me die with my enemies. The battle ends when the eyes are gone.
Jesus emphasized the importance of eyes to the Laodicean church and he says....
"I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see". Rev3:18.
He alone holds the prescription of this salve that recommissions the eyes.Theres an anointing made specifically for the eyes of derailed men. Only the Master can administer it. Cry out and call on him today. Ask for a brand new eyes. Stop the Hair ministry without sight today because the destiny of hairs ministry alone will bury you and the ministry.
Recieve wisdom today as you seek him fervently. There is a new beginning for you!
Let us pray!
