Book of 1 Samuel

May 21, 2025    Apostle Dan Oglesby

In this powerful exploration of 1 Samuel 10, we delve into the story of Saul's anointing as the first king of Israel. This narrative offers profound insights into God's calling, the spirit of prophecy, and the challenges of leadership. We learn that God's anointing comes with both power and responsibility. The key message is that when God calls us, He also equips us with the tools we need to fulfill our purpose. Just as Saul received the spirit of prophecy, we too are given spiritual gifts to serve in God's kingdom. However, we're reminded that following God's call often comes with opposition and criticism. Like Saul, we may face those who despise or doubt us, but we're encouraged to stand firm in our God-given identity. This message challenges us to step out of our comfort zones, embrace the transformative power of God's anointing, and walk confidently in our calling, even when faced with adversity.
