“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. 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” 2Kings 6:5-6.
It is absolutely impossible to cut a tree without the axe head no matter the strength of the person doing the cutting. The axe head represents an instrument that delivers the result when force is applied or effort is made. If your efforts have not been delivering the corresponding results, it may be that the “Axe Head” is missing and needs to be recovered.
Elisha in our passage went with his servants to cut trees for the expansion of the ministry and in the process, a borrowed axe head fell into the water. Elisha recovered the axe head by throwing a stick into the water. Now note that a stick is a small fragment of what the axe head will deliver when a tree is cut; in other words it is a seed of the expected result.
Beloved, hear the word of the Lord: to recover an instrument to deliver an expected result, sow a seed of the result you expect. If you want to recover your ability to love, sow a seed of love; if you want to recover money making ability, sow a seed of money; if you want to recover lost relationship, sow a seed by relating to people.
It is well with you.

Conquering Anger
“Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:” Ephesians 4:26
Anger is a temporary situation. Anger is a reaction, an emotional situation. A man that is quick to anger is a fool (Eccl. 7:8). It is dangerous to speak or act when angry because anger will disappear but what has been done or said cannot be reversed. Moses, a man called to deliver the people of Israel lost the opportunity to enter the Promised Land to anger; he spoke and acted wrongly because he was angry (Numbers 20:10-12). It is not wrong to get angry but it becomes a sin when your anger last a day. Anger is not always bad because you may need it to challenge a contrary situation; but you must always ask for God’s wisdom in handling the situation that gets you angry for by strength shall no man prevail (John 2:13-17).
To conquer anger, do the following:
1.Meditate on these scriptures and other scriptures related to anger: Ecc. 7:9, Prov. 14:17, Prov. 22:24, Math. 5:22, Eph 4:26.
2.Ask God to deliver you from the spirit of anger.
3.Be sensitive to situations that get you angry and ask for God’s grace to handle them.
4.When you are angry, do nothing except what you are sure is commanded by God.
You are blessed.

Thanksgiving ... your key to mutiplying the blessing
“Jesus took the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, and they all had as much as they wanted.” John 6:11(GNB)
Jesus wanted to feed thousands of people but he had only five loaves and two fishes which obviously were not enough. He took what was available and gave THANKS; when the little was then distributed, it was more than enough.
Beloved, I don’t care to know the degree of blessing that you have received from the Lord recently but I care to tell you that you can multiply the blessing by giving thanks. There are two areas of thanksgiving I want to expose to you in this piece.
1. Thanksgiving attitude. This is recognizing that what you have is given to you by God and so you remain little in your own eyes. When you maintain this attitude, the blessing continue to flow to you. “And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?” 1Samuel 15:17.(KJV)
2. Thanksgiving actions: These include Singing and dancing unto the Lord (Psalm 100) and thanksgiving offering (Psalm 50:14)
I decree that you shall have many causes to give thanks this year in Jesus name.
