Episode Description

The birth of Samson was a unique one—perhaps even more spectacular than any other birth in scripture. The angel of the Lord, who came to deliver the message of Samson’s conception, had to return simply because the father was not home during the first visit. At the father’s request, God granted a second visit. Such was the urgency of Samson’s mission on earth.

Some men are called, and some are sent. I believe Samson was sent because his purpose was already established before he was even conceived. He was sent to subdue the Philistines and deliver God’s people from their oppression.

It pains me deeply to write that Samson, a man with such a high calling, became a performer—an entertainer for the very people he was sent to conquer and subdue.

Judges 16:25: "So it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, 'Call for Samson, that he may perform for us.' So they called for Samson from the prison, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars."

Sadly, with the help of Delilah, he was stripped of his strength, his vision, and his purpose. A warrior became an entertainer, blind and performing for his enemies.

Oh dearly beloved, 2025 requires the fullness of your strength, clarity of vision, and a clear sense of purpose. You cannot afford to play around with these virtues. Do not let the enemy strip you of what God has given you. If, by any means, you have been stripped, now is the time to demand a complete restoration and decree a sevenfold return of all that was lost.

Do not let the thief take from you anymore. Hold fast to what God has placed in your hands and enter the new year full of strength, with clear vision, and firmly rooted in your purpose. These divine virtues are essential for the days ahead.

Be radical about this. Pray it through, and do not play in this season or in the days to come.

Compliments of the season and with love from us to you,
Temitope & Irene Agbana
