The pastor emphasizes that what we perceive as weaknesses or lacks can actually be indicators of our calling and ministry direction. Through biblical examples and personal testimony, the sermon encourages believers to reframe their challenges as potential areas of spiritual empowerment and service.

God uses your pain to give you passion and authority
