TAKE BACK YOUR AX HEAD

Key Passage: 2 Kings 6:5-7

But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, master! For it was borrowed.” So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float. Therefore he said, “Pick it up for yourself.” So he reached out his hand and took it.

God desires His children to be people of vision and progress. He also wants them to be ready to labor diligently in the pursuit of their life vision (2 Thes 3:10). But the devil is an enemy of progress (John 10:10). He brings setbacks, frustrations and disappointments to destroy people’s vision and paralyze their efforts at progress.

The Company of Prophets desired to have a better place to leave. As they were cutting down a beam with which to build their dream-house, the enemy struck - the ax head of one of them fell into the river.

The man cried, “Alas!” That is the voice of a drowning man - the deep cry of hopelessness and helplessness. But Elisha, the servant of God, miraculously caused the ax head to float. Then he told the hopeless apprentice-prophet, “Take back your ax head.”

The Lord is asking you today, “Where is your ax head?” - that instrument for building your dream. Many people have lost their ax heads, either by their acts of negligence or through an attack of the devil. However, as you cry out to God today, God will miraculously restore yours. When a man loses his ax head, he is incapacitated. Can you consider the condition of a doctor or a lawyer with revoked license, or that of an artist with broken hands. Those were rendered impotent by their circumstances, and that is what the devil wants to do to you.

If you cannot see any progress in your life in the next few years, then you may have lost your ax head. That may also be the case if you are hopeless or fearful to step into your future. However, I have good news for you. God is ready to restore your ax head if you will cry out to him in faith. Blind Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus. Jesus heard him and restored his sight. He will do the same for you if you will cry out to him in faith today.
