Many began the work of God with fire and were happy, but something has happened and they lost the ax, which represents the anointing of God.
"And it came to pass that while one fell down a tree, the ax fell into the water; and shouted saying: Ah, my lord, it was borrowed! The man of God asked: Where did he fall? And he showed him the place. Then he cut a stick, and threw it there; and made the iron float. And he said: Take it. And he stretched out his hand, and took it "2 Kings 6: 5-7
"If the iron is dull, and its edge is not grinded, then more force must be added; but wisdom is profitable to direct "Ecclesiastes 10:10.
