Samson - God's Magnificent Irritation
Channel: Paul Scanlon
Date: 2018-03-31

I think I can safely say you’ve never heard a message about Samson like this.

We’ve been unkind, judgemental and negative about Samson.
If you google Samson nothing good comes up.

We’ve reduced his entire life to the lessons of the Delilah episode and that’s been such a waste of what God intended us to learn from him.
Samson led Israel for 20 years and delivered them from 40 years of Philistine occupation. His sole purpose was to be GODS MAGNIFICENT IRRITATION he was born so that God could cause trouble and pick fights through him.
Samson’s super power of strength and his ministry of violence was set in stone long before he was born which means unlike the rest of us he never had a chance to be called say “no” or even volunteer.
IF YOU’VE NEVER BEEN HIJACKED – SET UP – USED – WORN- BORROWED- EXPLOITED- or – MADE TO DO SOMETHING BY GOD .. then you’ll never understand SAMSON’S life.
Maybe in heaven there will be a long line for us to apologise to Samson…and a few others we got wrong.
