Text: Judges 16:15-30
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
There is a relationship between your hair and your glory. For example, Samson’s uncut hair was the source of his unusual physical strength, which he used to defeat the Philistines for 20 solid years. Samson confessed that he would lose his strength; “If my head were shaved” (Judges 16:15- 17). While he slept, the ungodly Delilah brought in a Philistine who cut Samson’s hair, draining his strength.
But when he was about to die, his hair grew back and so was his strength gradually restored. At this point he slew at his death more people than in his life- Judges 16:22-30.
Someone can say but that is in the Old Testament. But in the New Testament hear the spirit of God speaking through Apostle Paul when he said, “But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her.” 1 Corinthians 11:15a. Here once again you see another connection between glory and the hair.
Some years ago a barbing salon was newly opened somewhere in my residential area and the Holy Spirit expressly warned me never to barb my hair there. But it was a very beautiful salon that was physically more attractive than the others.
Some people are struggling in life because they are victims of glory destroyers.
If you notice that when you sleep you always dream that your hair is being barbed then you should know that some evil powers are tampering with your glory. You need to pray earnestly and aggressively to put the enemies where they belong.
Prayer Nuggets: Father, I neutralize the effect of the glory destroyers on my life. King of Glory, I beseech you today, please, restore to me all the years that I have lost to glory destroyers in Jesus Name.
