Not Cinderella but Delilah! The strange woman

Strange Woman

One of the most significant creatures that God made was woman. From her first entrance into this earth to this day there has always been something that is so irresistible in her. Remember what is recorded in the bible, that when Adam woke up and saw her he had to recognize that this is a different creature. We are not told that he saw a cow and said that it shall be called a cow, it is suitable for me and will give me milk. No no…. she recognized the woman and said that she was the bone of his bones. There must have been something about her. The connection or the link, that is, coming from the same body. She was the helper met for Adam above any other thing that had been created and made.

This creature who was given a name woman by Adam has faced a lot of attacks since the beginning. She was the one who was approached by the devil while he wanted to attack the Kingdom of God and snatch it from the human hands. She fell into the trap and there we begin to see the trouble under the sun or rather hell under the sun.

We know more about the tongue, lips and eyes. But the lips of a woman have charm that makes many fall. It actually affects the members of the opposite sex. The men. We read of stories in the bible of people like Samson and how he fell into the trap of one woman who is Delilah. He never intended to tell the secret of his strength to anyone. The mother had the knowledge of it since she was the one instructed by God not to cut her son’s hair.

When Solomon was writing proverbs he talked of the instructions that he was given concerning ‘a strange woman.’ He says that her lips drop as an honeycomb and her mouth is smoother than oil. I once heard a preacher say that there are three things that make great men of God fall and one of them was woman. You wonder why and how this can happen. It all comes from one organ, the lips.

Many people say that the woman charm is only in the body or even eyes. This is half the truth. The lips of a woman can make any man or woman get into the box and be locked there in. It would actually take efforts for such to be delivered. The words of a strange woman as Solomon says are smoother than oil. They will hit your ears and penetrate inside your heart to the whole of your mind. They slay alive but softly.

He is also instructed not to lust after her beauty and not to let himself be taken by her eyelid. This charm of a strange woman brings about foolishness and obsession in the heart of a man. A man can leave his wife and children to be with a strange woman. This has nothing to do with witchcraft but with what is coming from the mouth of such a woman. Through this your find yourself lost in a world that you were not called to be in.

What do you do to escape from a strange woman? The instructions that Solomon was receiving are the same and totally applicable today.

  • Don’t give in to her eyelid.
  • As a man when you notice such a woman you need to disconnect with her.
  • Do look after her to lust.
  • Don’t give your ears to listen to what she may say.
  • Take your position as a man and silence her.
  • Let the commandment of the Lord be a lamp and the law as light.
  • Embrace wisdom [Jesus Christ] and let understanding be your kinswoman.
  • Refuse to embrace the bosom of a stranger and refuse to feel the breast of a stranger.
  • Be a prudent man who can foresee the evil and hide himself from it. Here you apply wisdom to get out of it. Don’t wait for it to happen
  • Don’t entertain any strange woman because you will soon lose your joy and everything you owned.

The bible says that whore is a deep ditch and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

If you get into the narrow pit which is to get into the hands of the strange woman, you will suffer. Don’t allow yourself into their hands. Flee from such a women.

  1. SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD

    Youthfulness is known to be a phase of great treasure in oneʼs life. It is the exponential phase when they are full of energy and unmatched enthusiasm. It is also at this stage of their lives, that the young people begin to sketch out what they think and hope their future adult life will look like. But, if not well managed, the youthful phase can actually be the most dangerous junction at which the lives of our young people can be totally destroyed. That is the reason why it is so crucial for the church to prominently step in at this stage in order to give a clear spiritual direction. This is also the stage at which most people begin to imagine what they would love to have in their future adult lives. That is exactly when the idolatry of materialism starts to gain entry into their lives by making serious in-roads into their hearts. Left to go without restraint, this results into an utter robbery of the hearts of our young people. Talking of spiritual tragedies, this becomes the greatest in the church since the only thing that JESUS died for on the Cross, is our heart. It is for this reason that every attempt must be made to redirect their efforts, strength, energy and worship towards the LORD. The church leadership must at this point come out very conspicuously lucid and articulate to the youth on the greater need to seek first the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness as a means of worship. In the youth church, there must then be a deliberate effort to pacify the anxieties of life by reassuring them of GODʼs promise to those who seek Him first. GOD Almighty in His timeless Word promises that all these things required in life will be added as a bonus to those who seek His Kingdom and its righteousness first. As one does this, within the backdrop is the teaching and strengthening of the faith of our youth. Their faith will be greatly enhanced in the LORD who never lies. And once their faith has been strengthened in that way, the youth can then learn to solely and fully rely on GOD Almighty as their only provider. Apart from the reassuring promise in seeking the Kingdom of GOD first, this life-changing Word of GOD also helps the youth to get rid of their worries and anxieties about what tomorrow may bring (Matthew 6:32-33). In His infinite mercies, GOD has demonstrated over and over again, that He is faithful to those that will seek Him first with their lives. We see that when Israel was still young, having just been released from Egyptian slavery, she exhibited disobedient behaviour that caused GOD to vow to her that if she would seek the LORD, her GOD with all her heart, she would find Him (Deut 4:29; 1 Chr 28:9; 1 Cor 2:6-16; Luke 12:31). Even for the youth to be able to recognize that they ought to seek GOD first with all their hearts, it becomes a big revelation since the bible says, such wisdom is hidden and only revealed to the elect. The amazement though, is that GOD Himself has said that such hidden wisdom is not even for this age but for the age to come. That talks about the secret eternal reward that is concealed to the world and only revealed to those believers who will only seek the things of the Spirit and shun evil. Such wisdom can only help to re-orientate the hearts and minds of our youths today away from the world, and strictly towards the Kingdom of GOD in heaven. Failure to captivate the hearts of our young people with a genuine kind of worship of this nature, is what has given way to the worldliness that has corrupted the youth church. It gets very sad to see young ladies in the universities and colleges going into sexual sin in an attempt to secure a future. Today it is common to see married people driving into universities and colleges to pick up young ladies and defiling them into sexual sin even to the point of death with HIV/AIDS. A decay of this nature has only set in because no one ever bothered to teach them to seek the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness first. As GOD himself has promised, He will provide the daily bread for His elect and satisfactorily take care of their future. Anxiety tends to arise among the youth due to fears of unemployment upon graduation, where and how to get a spouse, shelter, the fear of humiliation among the peers, etc. Predictions about the future is something the youth should never have been preoccupied with given GODʼs promise. If the young people could only be taught to focus on serving the LORD in holiness first, then they would give GOD the opportunity of providing for them since they would then be His.
