SLINKY

Dear children of God, let us enjoy happiness with our children as they play with toys. Slinky is a spring toy and it jumps from one place to another.  Slinky means jumping or lazy spring. It is a playing toy. There are some famous Slinky toys, Slinky dog, and sushi, and Slinky worm. Coils of springs, if we press on our hands it will jump and run and we will enjoy it seeing that is called Slinky. Some time we become slinky in the hands of the enemies and devils and men. Samson the Judge became a slinky in the hands of his enemies the Philistines. Samson went Gaza, and there he saw a prostitute, and he went in to her. Samson lay till midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all and put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that is in the front of Hebron.  After this he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah? The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said her, “seduce him, and see where his strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to humble him.

 

 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you. And he told all his heart, a razor has never come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If my head is shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man. She made him to sleep on her knees. And she called a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head then she began to torment him and his strength left him, the Philistines came upon him and he awoke from the sleep and said I will go out as at other times and shake myself free. But He lost his Nazirite vows. He did not know that the Lord God left him.   And the philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes and brought him down Gaza bound him with chains and bronze shackles. And he ground at the mill in the prison. Now the Lords of the Philistines gathered to offer a great sacrifice to “Dagon their god and rejoice, and they said, our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand. When the people saw him, they praised their god. Our god has given our enemy into our hand, the ravager of our country, who has killed many of us. And when their hearts were merry, they said, call Samson, that he may entertain us. So they called Samson out of the prison, and he entertained them. Now the house was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there, and on the roof there were about 3000 men and women, who looked on while Samson entertained.

 Then the Samson called to the Lord and said, O Lord. Please remember ma and please strengthen me only this once, o God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes. And Samson grasped the two pillars on which the house rested, and he leaned his weight against them, his right hand on the one and left hand on the other. Samson said; Let me die with the Philistines. Then he bowed with all his strength and the house fell upon the Lords and upon all the people who were in it.
 

Dear friends if we give more importance to our eyes and our flesh, then we sure to lose our anointing of God and God’s presence and strength. Then we became slinky in the hands of enemies, Satan and men. Slinky was found by Mr. Richard James the American in 1943. He made many strong springs to use in the ship to take the things from one place to other without any shaking s.  When he opened his self one of the spring fell from the self. The fallen spring has jumped, and ran away.  Her wife said to him; let us make springs for our children to play. He borrowed $5oo from the bank and made 400 slinky and they tried to sell it. No one pay attention to the slinky. James had continually tried to sell these slinky toys. In 1943 a shop owner in Philadelphia allowed him to keep his slinky toys in a corner. Within an hour all the slinky toys were sold out. Mr. Richard James and his wife Betty started slinky toy company on 1960 as James industries. His slinky toys, like slinky dog, sushi, and slinky worm are become famous. Mr. Richard James left the company and went as Missionary to Bolivia.Dear brothers and sisters let us be careful about ourselves. Be sober-minded; be watchful, your adversary the devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour, resist him, firm in your faith. Whenever you play with slinky toys, with your children, let the words of alertness of God‘s word forbid us to become “Slinky” like Samson.
