Before His ascension to heaven,  He had a discussion with the disciples,  Teaching them to adhere to all that he has taught.  And finally, he assured them, I am with you always. His word is coming to you today,  In times of tribulations,  He is capable of providing solutions,  Remember, He is with you always, He who works in diverse ways. When it looks all blurry, Though it seem like you want to ri (sink),  He is with you,  Never lose your faith, He will help you.  In the book of Isaiah, It was written;  When you pass through the fire,  You shall not be burned, Neither, shall the flame kindle upon you, So says Messiah.  Whatever season of life it might be, What God says will be,  Always remember He said he will be with thee, And that, is enough.  The presence of Jesus doesn't mean there won't be challenges, but be rest assured, you'll overcome.

With that much amount of money up for grab, Delilah made it her life's goal to get Samson in the hands of the Philistines.  This is the side of the story where we all skip to the end where Samson was finally captured.

In the last series on forgiveness we checked its benefits and now let's look further on how forgiveness set us free as an individual from pain of a broken trust from those we love, an abuse, evil done by our closest relatives and so on. Apostle Peter asked how many times should I forgive, Seven times? And "“No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!" Matt. 18:22 (NLT). Now ponder on this seventy times seven is equal to four hundred and ninety times, that's too long to count for me as a child of God before I stop forgiving my brother. Now what is the Lord Jesus trying to teach us. First, men hurting or sinning against you will be so much that you will eventually lose count, or how could a man whose heart is filled with seeking God, loving Him, making sure His will is done on earth and fulfilling God's purpose for his or her life will still have time to be counting and documenting an offence of one against him up to four-hundred and n...
