8. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES LESSON 651: THE MIRACULOUS BIRTH OF SAMSON

9. LESSON 651: THE MIRACULOUS BIRTH OF SAMSON • MEMORY VERSE: ““And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and beareth not; but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son” – Judges 13:3 • TEXT:Judges 13:1-25

10. SUMMARY (1) • Our previous study dealt with prayer and Fasting: • It is necessary for a believer to pray always (2 Thes 5:17) • There are no hard & fast rules on the proper posture • Praying without repentance, salvation, righteousness, holiness & purity is a waste of time • Fasting is a scriptural, beneficial & spiritual exercise that compliments our prayer. • The study of today emanates from the Old Testament on a notable event of the birth of Israelites’ liberator, named Samson. • The study of today touches two related points: • End of Manoah’s wife’s barrenness: expression of hope & validity of God’s promise of mercy & deliverance. • The attitude of patiently waiting & practising act of hospitality

11. SUMMARY (2) • Israelites were quick in forgetting how God had delivered them amidst several challenges & oppressions (Judges 11;12) • They were yet inclined to sinning & backsliding even in the era of Judges. • They were subjected again to servitude (slavery & suffering) in the hands of the Philistines for a challenging period of 40 years. • Yet, God greatly treasured them, evident in the birth of Samson. • The beginning of Samson’s birth was the appearance of angel to the wife of a man named Manoah in Israel then (Judges 13:3) • The birth of the Samson was attached to divine instruction on how the child should be cared for in terms of nutrition & consecration • Manoah (the husband) also waited in prayer to confirm God’s instruction • The partnership of Manoah & his Wife’s humility, submission & maturity cleared the storm of fear. They were encouraged and assured that God was with them to do them good. • Challenges for us today: Waiting, praying, listening, obeying & cooperating

12. DISCUSSION

13. QUESTION 1 What lessons can sinners and backsliders learn from the servitude of the children of Israel ?: • 1John 3:8 • Rom 3:23; 10:13

14. QUESTION 2 What lessons can expectant couples learn from the family of Manoah? • 1 Peter 2:9 • Rom 12:1,2 • 1Thess 4:3

15. QUESTION 3 What can you learn from the attitude of Manoah about child training? • 1John 4:1, • Gen 18:1-8, • Heb 13:2, • Judge 13:19

16. QUESTION 4 What challenges does the life of Manoah’s wife pose to believing wives today?: • Judges 13:23

17. CONCLUSION • Samson’s birth was miraculous and planned by God (Judges 13:24) • So is the experience of a sinner who comes to the saving knowledge of Christ • It is also imperative for a believer to imbibe the attitude of waiting in prayer & patience before God • A believer also should endeavour to confirm every vision, dream and revelation in the light of the Bible. • What matters to us here most, is that God’s promise was fulfilled at God’s appointed time, with absolute TRUST & OBEDIENCE in God.
