“O Lord remember me”
I pray thee. Judges 16:28-

It has been often said that no one passes through life without having obstacles, bumps and disappointments. No body can lift up his or her hands to declare “I have never made any mistake in my life or do not have problems.” Every one of us had one time or the other made a bad decision and mistake that got us into a mess. However, God can use that situation to push you up to a higher level in life. This is because God is faithful and consistent in all His doings.
In the book of Judges 16, we read how Samson’s lust, wrong choice, trust, love and disobedience with the wrong woman got him in a place he least expected. By the time he realized it, he saw himself as a dead meat, strapped in the enemies’ camp with absolutely no way out. The enemy’s game plan was executed through his wife Delilah, sent and used as a trap for him. “And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thus mightest be bound to afflict thee.” Judges 16:6. Mr. Samson told his secrets to her like some of us do. You may have been betrayed by close friends and relatives and you are hurting inside of you. Your vision like that of Samson may have been killed and destiny altered. God will remember and help you. Psalm 124:8, “Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
At this juncture, Samson got something inside of Him. He believed that although he got himself in the mess, yet he can still call upon God in the time of trouble and terrible situation. He prayed, “And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee” At this time, the enemies had plucked out his eyes. He was completely blind and could not see. Nevertheless something on the inside prompted him to pray. Same with you reading this article, the enemy the devil through his demonic agents may have plucked out your eyes spiritually and physically, and it seems that you have lost your vision, your finance, marriage, children, health, peace and joy, and you are in a confused state right now. Call upon God; He can help you get out of the mess if you dare to believe in Him.
My brothers and sisters it is not too late. You can not be too messed up for
God not to have compassion on you. There is someone reading this article now, you
are truly in a mess, involved in alcohol and drugs; you are not praying anymore because
you feel God is not going to hear you. Like Samson cry out right now. Go to a corner
and ask God for mercy and divine intervention. You cannot prevail in your own strength.
Ask God for strength and victory will be yours in Jesus name. God remembered me
when I cried out to Him. The impossible became possible and now I have story to
tell that will change and turn the hearts of men and women to God. God will remember
you in Jesus name. To Be continued-
