So we aligned how love was used through Samson to conquer the Israelites greatest enemy at that time the philistines and all their Lords and high officials.

God conquers by using his personality – Love. For God to conquer a man he uses Love. In the case of Samson, we see how because of his love for Delilah he was able to conquer the philistines although unknowing to him and Us (the later readers of his story), that the main reason God allowed for Samson love to grow for Delilah, was because that was the only way he could conquer them.

Today, we haven’t still understood this concept. For God so loved the world (john 3:16) – that we gave our life to God. Let’s see how this worked. Like earlier stated in the preceding article (Click here to Read), we saw how Samson got into the presence of Lord’s and Upper class personalities of the philistines and although they brought him to be mocked at, God had another plan for them. At the point of death, Samson asked of God to give him strength to kill everyone inside the building of which God Obliged him.

Although Love may seem innocent and sometimes make you look weak, it is a great offence weapon whenever it is used. In our present day, if you show concern and love for even a strong hearted person, the person will sooner or later reciprocate your action towards him. Hence Jesus admonishes us to Love our neighbors (Mat 22:39). Think of what made you become a believer, why you decided to give God the control of your life, think this and you will end up seeing that love brought you here. The same way Love brought Samson to Gaza (belonged to the Philistine’s at that time) and it’s this way we are expected to spread the gospel to everyone around Us by using Love – because love works.

So whatever you do, whoever you are, wherever you are, always share the Gospel of Love because it’s the only way we can conquer the world and still fulfil the mandate that God has given to us (Mark 16:16). Remember Love conquers all.

Blessings.
