Asleep On Delilah’s Lap, Evans Olang

Judges 16:19, “Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him”

The enemy has a mission to put believers to sleep and I believe he has been successful in so many levels. The lost are asleep in the dark (sin), believers are asleep in the light. Many believers in the church have been lulled to sleep while the enemy is cutting off their seven locks symbolizing strength, leaving believers with no strength to fight back. He knows he cannot knock you out by a blow, so he tries to find ways to put you to sleep. He knows in your sleep you will yield your strength to him, leaving you dormant and inactive.

Lord Teach Us to Pray 8of10: Lead Us Not…But Deliver Us, Evans Olang

Matthew 6:13, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one”

In reading the Lord’s prayer, I struggle understanding the first part “and lead us not into temptation” and the reason is this, James 1:13 tells us ” Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone“.

Wired For Victory, Evans Olang

1John 5:4, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith”

Believers born of God are candidates for victory, God has wired us for it. If you look at the building you are working in, or living in, you will discover they are wired, there are hidden electrical cords, telephone cords among other wiring.

My Redeemer Lives, By Evans Olang

Job 19:25, “For I know that my Redeemer lives; And He shall stand at the last on the earth”

We need to be aware of is that as we walk with God we are reminded that He owes us nothing. I know of people who walk and talk as though God owes them something, it’s like they gave God something to keep, or they did God a favor and now God owes them and should pay them back. God owes you nothing, as a matter of fact, you owe it all to Him.
