Topic: The Lord’s Handle
Text: Ants 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 said I, 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 us an invitation in Matthew 11:28-29; “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto 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 guides 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.
