Sharing with Pastor Dapo Adeniyi
2 Kings 6:1-7
The Lord says I
should tell somebody in this place that the axe head that you lost shall he
restored.
The story of the axe head that fell into the river in 2
Kings 6:1-7 is a parable.Most of us, if not all of us, have something that we hold very dear.
One of the facts that we confront in life is that, what was there may not be there anymore.
This is the reason we counsel that we should not cling to anything that we received by grace as if they are more important to us than God.
He is the only one who has the power to help us to keep that which we have received.
We should honour Him with our lives while we still have our being
We should honour Him with our substance because He is the giver of all things.
We should honour Him with our relationships: children, husband, wives.
Some follow the opinions of their friends and honour them above God.
Most of those friends are there because God gave you an axe head that can cut down trees in order provide food, shelter and clothes for your loved ones and much more.
You will also do well to remember that your very life was borrowed.
The very big question is: what will you do when the axe head is gone?
Only those with a real relationship with God can find their axe when it falls into the river.
A lot of people do not realize that they cannot cope with life all alone without God until the day of evil comes.
Three ways in which God retrieves lost axe head:
He can cause a new one to grow on the handle.
He can cause the fallen axe head to swim.
He can also cause the loss of the axe to be forgiven.
Your relationship with God is the foundation for a miracle.
Begin by learning how to call upon the name of the Lord.
You have to surrender your life, your mind and your heart to God.
You can even call upon Him right now.
