FIRE SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 51:20-23 (KJV)
20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 51:20-23 (NIV)
20 “You are my war club,
my weapon for battle—
with you I shatter nations,
with you I destroy kingdoms,
21 with you I shatter horse and rider,
with you I shatter chariot and driver,
22 with you I shatter man and woman,
with you I shatter old man and youth,
with you I shatter young man and young woman,
23 with you I shatter shepherd and flock,
with you I shatter farmer and oxen,
with you I shatter governors and officials.
God is in need of believers who are ready to serve as His battle axes. A Christian is a soldier and should be prepared for war at all times. Dear reader, my prayer is that when God calls for people to be His battle axe, you will declare: “Lord, I want to become your battle axe.”
In Jeremiah 51:20, God said, “You are my battle axe and you are to break into pieces ten things: The nations, the kingdoms, the horse and his rider, the chariots and his rider, men and women, old and young, young men and the maid, the shepherd and his flock, the husbandman and his oxen and the captain and rulers.”
There are spiritual implications of those ten things God is asking you to go and break, but the bottom line is that there is a battle to fight and you are in a war. Even if you do not believe that you are in a battle or that you are fighting a battle, war has been declared against you anyway. If you like, you should fight; or if you like, do not fight; war has been declared against you. And you say “but I did not offend anybody. Why are they declaring war against me?” That is why the Bible calls them ‘the wicked’. You do not have to offend them. They are just not happy with you and they want to make sure you do not fulfil your destiny.
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence
Who is this wicked?
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
There is a battle on, and battles are fought with weapons. God is looking for battle axes. A battle axe is a weapon of war. There are battles and there are wars. One tragedy of life is for you to be in a battle and you do not even know that you are in a battle. It is a dangerous thing indeed.
You need to become His battle axe to wage against the enemy of destiny fulfilment. However, you cannot be God’s battle axe unless you are born again, be aware of a war has been declared against by the enemy and need to believe that you are a battle axe.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms
This will make you to be useful and usable to God and His kingdom.
