TEXT: Judges 16:4-5

[4]And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

[5]And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

TOPIC: Diverted purpose

       Distraction is a tool to divert a man’s purpose , it can come in many forms, the sole aim is to divert a man from his purpose and render him useless. Samson was a victim of this. Samson was recorded as the strongest man that ever lived, he was born a Nazirite, he knew his life purpose was to deliver his people from the oppression of philistines. He was purpose driven until he decided to have a life partner. He wanted a wife from the Philistines against the wish of his parents despite the warnings of his parents, he proceeded but the wedding eventually ended in chaos.

             In the cause of advancing his purpose, the love for strange women set in, from one brothel to another till he found Delilah, the woman she loved . With Delilah, he completely lost focus, he was so relaxed with her that nothing was heard about his purpose again. His purpose was diverted by distraction from strange woman. His lust for strange women caught up with him as he lost his consecration, lost his two eyes and subjected to ridicule. His purpose was diverted from a deliverer to an Entertainer. To avoid your purpose from being diverted, let your eyes be on the goal and do everything possible to avoid distraction that that can shift your focus from the goal.

Prayer: Father help me to be focused and do not allow me to be a victim of those who are determined to divert my purpose in Jesus name.

Who is your Friend?

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL, 2025 TEXT: 2 Samuel 13:1-5 [1]And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. [2]And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. [3]But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. [4]And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. [5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

The LORD is in his sanctuary (3)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 4TH MAY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:20 [20]But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. TOPIC: THE LORD IS IN HIS SANCTUARY (3)            The presence of God makes a difference between a church and any other place. In God’s presence there is peace, deliverance, and fullness of Joy. In the old Testament, men of faith often raise up an altar to symbolize his presence and praise him there. The church is the modern day temple where there are altars set up to meet God. No one can come to God’s presence and return empty handed.          Many a times when people come to church without experiencing a touch, it is because they do not come with expectations of receiving from God. When there is expectations, it shows you have faith that God is in his temple and you are sensitive to his movements by being silence before God. God speaks right from the beginning of the Church s...

Your vision will speak

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 4TH JANUARY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3 [3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. TOPIC: YOUR VISION WILL SPEAK          Vision is time bound. Writing down of vision, planning, setting out to fulfill the goals are all processes that are necessary before vision can become a reality.        Your vision will definitely speak, if only you can wait for it. Great things do not usually happen suddenly. There is a moment to plant, watered and patiently wait for it to germinate. The bigger the vision, the bigger the time it would take to become a reality. Do not give up on your vision , it will speak at the appropriate time. Prayer: Father help me to patiently wait for me vision to become a reality in Jesus name.
