TOPIC : THE POWER OF CHARACTER
TEXT 1 SAMUEL 12 : 3-5
[3]Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
[4]And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
[5]And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
Samuel was the first Judge in Israel while Samson was the last.
Samson ended up as a warning to generations unborn while Samuel ended his ministry with the words of the scriptures quoted above.
Samson was raised by a mother who was warned ahead of time how to raise a priest while Samuel grew up in the home of Eli, an old priest with two highly corrupt and debucharized sons.
But Samuel chose to stick to the harder rights instead of the easier wrong.
When he asked those questions, no one challenged his testimony.
Beloved, what does your testimony look like?
As we continue with this study, pray that God will correct any weak area of your destiny in Jesus mighty name.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things to are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
