READ: ACTS 2:36-41
The axe is
made of two important components: the axe-head and the handle. None is complete
without the other. A wooden handle, no matter how well crafted, is useless without
the axe-head. The axe-head also needs a wooden handle. The Almighty God wants
people like you and me who will become handle for His axe-head. In Isaiah 6:8,
the Bible says; “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who
will go for Us? Then I said, Here am I!
Send me.” The All-Sufficient God needs people, even though He
can do all things. It is because the axe-head needs a handle that God gives an
invitation in Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to Me, all you who labor and heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
God wants us to be His handle so that He can put His axe-head on our hands. You
shall receive power after you have become a handle for the axe-head. You shall
receive power after you have become a Holy Ghost carrier (Acts 1:8). You are
never free until Jesus Christ controls all your actions. When a piece of wood
becomes the handle of an axe-head, the handle will rest whenever the axe-head
rests. There will be no more wasted efforts when you get hooked up to the Holy
Spirit; no more wasted labours because Jesus Christ will be guiding you just as
the axe-head the actions of the handle. When you are linked with the wisdom of
God, you will do little and achieve much. You will have all-round prosperity.
The greatest thing that can happen to you is to become a carrier of God’s axe.
Then your life will have a new meaning.
MEMORIZE:
ACTS 1:8 –But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be witness to Me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and
to the end of the earth.
