In this inspiring sermon episode titled "Anointed but Weak" Apostle Asia Roberts-Francis delves into the powerful truth found in 1 Samuel 3:3; "I am weak but still anointed." Join her as she unpacks the paradox of anointing, drawing wisdom from the life of the prophet Samue.
1. Samuels Journey: Apostle Asia begins by exploring Samuel's journey a life marked by both strength and weakness. From listening to God's voice to facing personal struggles, Samuel's story resonates with believers today.
2. The Paradox of Anointing
Anointing is often associated with strength, power and authority. However, Samuel's life teaches us that anointing doesn't always come to the strong or mighty. Sometimes, God chooses the weak and unlikely vessels to fulfill His purposes.
3. Lessons from Samuels's Weakness:
Humility: Samuel humbly submitted to God's will, recognizing his limitations. We too, must acknowledge our weaknesses and rely on God's strength.
Dependence: Anointing doesn't make us self-sufficient. Like Samuel, we need to continually seek God's guidance.
Faithfulness: Despite weaknesses, Samuel remained faithful. Anointing empowers us to endure challenges faithfully.
4. Encouragement for Today:
Apostle Asia reminds listeners that if they're believers they are anointed by the Holy Spirit. It's not about personal strength; it's about God's grace working through them.
Weakness becomes an opportunity for God to display His strength. Don't be ashamed; lean on Him.
When feeling weak, lean on God's promises. He is the source of our anointing.
As Apostle Asia concludes the episode, she encourages listeners to walk in humility, dependence, and faithfulness. God's anointing transcends our weaknesses, and like Samuel, we can confidently declare, "I am weak but still anointed."
May this episode inspire you to embrace your anointing even in moments of weakness. God's grace is sufficient, and His power is at work within you. Listen to this episode on Apostle Asia Robers-Francis's podcast.
