Where Did You Lose It?
The company of the prophets said to Elisha, “Look, the place where we meet with you is too small for us. Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole; and let us build a place there for us to meet.” And he said, “Go.” Then one of them said, “Won’t you please come with your servants?” “I will,” Elisha replied. 2 Kings 6:1-7 NIV
And he went with them. They went to the Jordan and began to cut down trees. As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no, my lord!” he cried out. “It was borrowed!” The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” 2 Kings 6:1-7 NIV
When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float. “Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it. 2 Kings 6:1-7 NIV
Where did you lose it?
Sometimes we’re complaining about the side effects of an answered prayer.
The ax is a picture of judgement - Profits were God's instrument of judgement.
The head of the ax is the blade - sharpness, poise, capability, the edge.
The iron of the ax head - Power, strength, durability
The value of the ax head - iron was rare, not everybody had an edge like this.
Nothing is more frustrating than trying to do what the lord has called you to with no ax head.
See you treat the anointing differently when you realize it’s borrowed.
You’ll never get over anything without first admitting there’s a problem.
