TEXT:2 KINGS 6:2-7
CLASSIC
TOPIC : THE DOMINATING FORCE OF FAITH
[2]Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
[3]And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
[4]So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
[5]But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
[6]And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
[7]Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
Beloved, it is a very painful experience to loose what you have borrowed from someone else.
If it's yours, it is easier to handle.
Elisha's disciples lost a borrowed axe-head in their attempt to expand their ministerial base.
The lost axe-head would be comperable to today's excavating mashines.
It was an equipment that you must have if you must built a house in their days.
The scream from the man who lost the axe gave us an insight into the real cost of the tool.
The prophet asked for the exact location where the axe-head fell and sank.
He then took a stick and threw there.
The stick sank and the axe-head made of iron floated, the shame was averted.
Your faith is given at redemption so that you would be able to subdue any situation that wants to abuse your redemption.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
