Your place of call or your jurisdiction can be interpreted as your right of authority, the limits of territory over which such authority extends. The question you may wish to ask yourself today is whether you have remain in the place of your call or vision? When you find yourself in your place of right vision, everything tends to go well with you, you tend to prosper amongst other things.

You will be able to reign as kings as God had commanded. You will be able to exercise your power of dominion over every thing God has created. You tend to conquer your environment and subject same under your control. In our contemporary world of today, you don't become a slave to money as others do but as a creation of God, you take authority over money as this becomes an automatic slave unto you. You are a peculiar chosen generation, a royal priesthood and holy nation called out of darkness, and fearfully and wonderfully made. 1 peter 2-9.

To fully understand this, we may need to study the life of Samson, His power, strength, dominion and abilities and then the disadvantage of His fall and also consider the life of Joseph, his sufferings and attainment of Glory as a result of perseverance to Destiny, and His Obedience.

Samson's Call & Place of Vision
The Spirit of God has assured Samson of divine support, assistance and victory once He remain within the place of vision which of course is camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshta-ol. His place of call was a unique without any other like it. There is no one else as yourself and your God-given vision.

You may wish to consider stopping imitating others or trying to be like Mr. A or Mrs. B in Ministry. That a Ministry was successful doing it in one way does not suggest you should do it the same way. Can you please do it as you have been led of Holy- Ghost, and remain in the place of your call.

Samson was therefore suppose to be where the spirit of the Lord use to move Him a times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Esh-ta-ol. Judges 13:25 He was absolutely complete, victorious always in Him who is the Head of all principalities and powers until when He relent in faith to go down to where He was not sent to Timnath and there He met with sin ( saw a woman of the daughters of the philistine) Judges 14-1

David was suppose to be at the Battle front where the Spirit of God was ready to move Him, but decided to come back home because of desire of lust in His mind towards Uriah's wife (Bathsheeba) He committed adultery and the punishment remains in His family, the sword never depart from His family. The product of this relationship (the Baby also died).

Are you in the right Fellowship, or you are there because you love to worship where you experience a lot of multitude of people? Are you at the place of your vision? Do you obey your parents in the lord according to the commandment of God? Do you obey the word of God? Samson had to disobey His parents to meet with his destruction by making up his mind to marry Delilah Judges 14;3.

Samson had to sleep in the lap of a strange woman, until the next day, You know how you often deceive your partner and have gone the other direction? Do you do the same? Do you spend your leisure with strange women in pub, hotels etc in fornication and adultery? or with your homosexual, lesbian partner. You need to repent today.

It is also worth of note that Samson did not utilise the power and strength of God at his disposal in the right direction. He was pre-occupied with riddles and jokes (backbiters are always at the back) forgetting that the kingdom of God is not in words alone but in demons ration of power in a positive way through Evangelism, prayers and serious meditation in the word of God. This eventually cost many lives to be lost instead of being saved through Him. Does your life attracts others to Christ? Are you a shining example of believers? Today should be a turning point for you.

He Lost All
Samson lost all because of continuous unrepentant heart and prayed that He may be destroyed with the enemy instead of repenting of his sins. He was buried in the place of His vision, where he was suppose to continuously demonstrate the power of God.

The eyes of his vision was removed so that he may not see another vision. Whereas Joseph that ran away from all appearances of sin dreamt another dream, and was able to achieve His set dream, interpret dreams of others in evangelism and vision. He became a prime Minister in a strange Land.

Solution:
Repent of all known and unknown sins (Galatians 5: 19 ) Turn to the Lord completely and represent Him through E, Meditate in the word always. Live a Prayerful life. Stay within the area of your call/Ministry. Be sanctified turning your back to the world and your eyes be genuinely Born- Again.
