The Axe Head: A symbol of the power of God that makes us effective.

1. The Axe Head was borrowed. Any power, effectiveness, talents, abilities or success in life comes from God. By remembering that God is my source, I become a better steward over my blessings!
2. The Axe Head was lost. As a rule, we know when we have lost what God has given to us!
3. There was concern over the lost Axe Head. The first step in recovering our JOY and ENERGY is knowing we are not where we should be.
4. The Axe Head was found where it was lost. Retrace your steps!
5. The Axe Head must personally be received. Take responsibility for your life!
6. God used another person to help find the Axe Head. You are not alone! Let someone help you!
