2025: Living A “Delilah” life

Each year, as it ends, the desire to have a new year resolution increases. The urge to move from point A to point B heightens, creating hopes for a possible new lease of life from the hold and strangle of life challenges previously experienced.

Overtime, many of such resolutions hardly last, at best two months into the new year the status quo becomes the real time lifestyle, while the initial “gragra” wanes, becomes cold like the ashes of a burnt wood.

As this year gradually rolls to an end, I have resolved not to make any careless unstainable resolution again, one too much. Rather i have decided to live a Delilah life not as a new year resolution but as a daily lifestyle, devoid of duties, command and fear for the consequences of my actions or in-actions.

“Delilah’ lifestyle comes from a disposition of conviction, conversion and responsibility .

It is one that comes with an irresistible surge and power to overpower the lion’ energy to sin, fueling the energy of Samson to dismantle and unsettle the very vices capable of gouging the eye of vision in ones race to holiness.

Delilah ( Destroying Endemic lies in living against holiness) My new year resolution.

Until this mindset of a Delilah( Destroying Endemic lies In living against holiness) becomes a lifestyle, one would at all times be struggling to maintain a tempo, a balance, without vacillating like a pendulum in ones spiritual growth and quest.

Lies is endemic, it destroys, it mars, it makes one disabled and incapable of living in the image of God.

Happy new year in advance as I welcome you to this lifestyle of “Delilah”! Your choice!!
