THE LORD ASKED ME TO TELL SOMEONE HERE TODAY, THE HAND THAT LOST THE AXE HEAD SHALL PICK IT UP.
- Pastor E. A. Adeboye at RCCG The Americas 25th Annual Convention Tagged ‘A New Beginning’ (Day 3 Evening Session Festival of Life)
- Praise His Name, there is no one like Him.
- Father, if you are blessing only two people here tonight please let me be one of them.
God is the Almighty, Psalms 91:1, Genesis 17:1, the Almighty God introduced Himself to Abraham and said I am the Lord God Almighty.
He can do anything, Jeremiah 32:17-27, He made it clear, I am the God of all flesh there is nothing too hard for me. He is so powerful that he can do the impossible, as a matter of fact, there is nothing that is impossible for Him Luke 1:37.
He is so powerful He can reverse the irreversible, I hope someone is listening because the fellow will soon know what this gathering is about. Isaiah 38:1-8, He asked the sun to go backward, that is how powerful He is.
he is so powerful that when He speaks it is done, Psalms 32:8-9. Psalms 119:89, says forever o Lord thy word is settled.
He is so powerful that He is sovereign, He is majesty, Psalms 115:3, tells us that He is in the Heavens, He does as He pleases. He reserves the right to change His mind, in other words, His Words are settled but He reserves the right to change His mind.
1 Samuel 2:39, He spoke to Eli and said this is what I said but now I am changing my mind, who can query Him?
The Almighty God is going to solve the problem of someone tonight and nobody can query Him.
When I was preparing for this message about ‘A New Beginning’, I searched through the scriptures looking for a classical example of God giving someone a new beginning and finally, I found one.
Ezekiel 37:1-10
The Lord said there is someone here who has even lost hope of getting married, you will be married before the end of the year.
As the Lord God of Host lives, God will breathe on someone.
When God took Ezekiel to that valley of dried bones and He told him to prophesy, he prophesied, this tells you straight away that this is a prophetic message and bones came to bones. He prophesied the second time and the wind blew and those who had been dead, forgotten had a brown new beginning. This message is for just a hand full, one thing I am sure of is as the One who called me lives, there is someone here tonight who will never forget today. When that wind blew, the hands began to function again.
I was in the prayer room and one young man began to lead the praises, he asked some funny questions and I was just smiling, he asked is there anyone here with a hand? Can you clap! I was wondering, has he seen my notes? When the wind blows tonight, every hand that has been withered will return while.
In Mark 3:1-5, the Bible talks about a man who had a withered hand and God came in and suddenly, the withered hand was restored whole. When withered hands are restored, automatically, that hand can clap again because that is the commandment of God, He said clap your hands all ye people, all, not a few. I see some people who are not clapping, I pity them because clapping means cooperation.
There is this parable that once upon a time, the fingers saw the birds singing, making music unto God, they wanted to make music too and one finger began to wag himself and there was no sound when two fingers decided to cooperate, they could produce a sound and they agreed, suppose two hands come together to make music and one finger begins to tap the palm of the other and then two until all together when you calp you are saying to God Almighty God I will cooperate with you.
When hands begin to cooperate with God, something miraculous can happen.
2 Kings 6:1-7, the Bible tells us the story of some young people who came to Elisha and said the place where we are has become small for us, we want to cut wood so we can build a bigger place
- the Lord asked me to tell you in the Americas, that you are rejoicing because you have covered the pavilion, He asked me to tell you that is not His plan, you can’t close Him in, the expansion that is coming cannot be walled in.
- He asked me to tell you, this auditorium as big as it is will soon be too small for Dallas alone.
These Sons of the Prophets came and said please master we want to go and get wood to build a bigger place please come with us. He went as they were preparing to cut wood, the axe head fell into the river and they turned to the Servant of God and he cut a piece of wood and threw it into the river and the piece of wood found the iron head, transferred anointing to it and it jumped up and began to swim and the man of God said stretch out your hand and pick it up. - The Lord asked me to tell someone here today, the hand that lost the axe head shall pick it up.
Prayer 1.
Father, please touch my hand so I can begin to succeed again.
When that wind blew, it was not only hands that were restored. The legs too received power and you know legs stands for walking, standing, running, jumping.
Acts 3:1-11, told you the story of a man who was born lame.
- The Lord asked me to tell someone, from the day you are born, you have problems, physical, marital, spiritual, your entire history is problems, the Lord asked me to tell you that from now on, your entire history will be a success.
This man who was born lame, when the Almighty God intervened, the Bible says he was walking and leaping and praising God.
When your legs receive a touch from God there will be a new beginning of progress and not ordinary progress but accelerated progress.
Esther 2:15-18, the Bible tells us about a slave girl who went into a king and came out a queen. You might not know this, there are people before who the world thought could never be anyone but in God’s miraculous way they became someone very special. I know at least one who was a nurse and something happened that she didn’t have control of and within days, she became the first lady of a nation.
I don’t know who He is interested in tonight but before tomorrow morning, your destiny will be radically altered.
Prayer 2.
Father, please touch my legs so that my promotion can be accelerated.
When the wind blew, hands came together to cooperate with God and the hand that lost the axe could pick it up again. The wind blew, legs came together and suddenly promotion can become accelerated.
What about eyes?
When the wind blows on your eyes, you can begin to see clearly and your vision will be expanded.
Mark 8:22-27, the Bible tells us of a man who was blind, when the Almighty God intervened, the Bible says when they brought him to Jesus, he was blind and the Lord touched him and he began to see men as trees. He used to see, he knew trees, he knew men but he was seeing men as trees. He got a second touch and you will see that later on as we continue. He began to see clearly.
It is what you see that you can desire, it is what you desire that you can have. Proverbs 29:18 says where there is no vision, people perish. When God touches your eyes, you will see a vision of greatness that you have not seen before and what you see is what you will have.
Genesis 13, when the Almighty God decided to bless Abraham, He told him not just to look left and right but to walk because the more he walked the more he could see, the more he will get.
