2. O BROTHER, LIFE’S JOURNEY BEGINNING (GHS 246)
HYMN
O BROTHER, LIFE’S JOURNEY BEGINNING (GHS 246)

3. O BROTHER, LIFE’S JOURNEY BEGINNING [GHS 246]1.
O brother, life’s journey beginning,
With courage and firmness arise!
Look well to the course thou art choosing;
Be earnest, be watchful, and wise!
Remember - two paths are before thee,
And both thy attention invite;
But one leadeth on to destruction,
The other to joy and delight.
God help you to follow His banner,
And serve Him wherever you go;
And when you are tempted, my brother,
God give you the grace to say "No!"

4. O BROTHER, LIFE’S JOURNEY BEGINNING [GHS 246]2.
O brother, yield not to the tempter,
No matter what others may do;
Stand firm in the strength of the Master,
Be loyal, be faithful, and true!
Each trial will make you the stronger,
If you, in the name of the Lord,
Fight manfully under your Leader,
Obeying the voice of His Word.
God help you to follow His banner,
And serve Him wherever you go;
And when you are tempted, my brother,
God give you the grace to say "No!"

5. O BROTHER, LIFE’S JOURNEY BEGINNING [GHS 246]3.
O brother, the Saviour is calling!
Beware of the danger of sin;
Resist not the voice of the Spirit,
That whispers so gently within.
God calls you to enter His service -
To live for Him here, day by day;
And share by and by in the glory
That never shall vanish away.
God help you to follow His banner,
And serve Him wherever you go;
And when you are tempted, my brother,
God give you the grace to say "No!"

LESSON 654:
SAMSON’S LUST AND FALL

7. LESSON 654: Samson’s Lust and Fall
MEMORY VERSE:
“And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah” – Judges 16:4
TEXT: Judges 16:1-31

8. SUMMARY (1) In our previous study, we learnt that;
Samson’s actions was in fulfilment of the goal and purpose of his birth.
Believers should not revenge the wrongs others do to them.
The Spirit of God came upon Samson; yet God did not approve his wayward lifestyle: God departed from him when he sinned.
When the believer is baptised in the Holy Ghost, he is filled to live and serve the Lord.
Prayer opens the gate of heaven. It moves the hand of God and supplies every need.

9. SUMMARY (2) In our this study, we shall see: What lust means:
It is an uncontrolled desire for something, especially sexual immorality that satisfies the flesh and always has a ruinous end.
How Samson became blind and enslaved because of his uncontrolled desires.
Samson never allowed God to conquer him:
Although he was a great conqueror, he was not disciplined and depended on his own strength.
The result of Samson’s unequal yoke and what led to his fall.

Believers need to:

Be sober and vigilant, putting on the whole armour of God to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Guard against unequal yoke.
