*A NEW SHARP THRESHING INSTRUMENT*

*By Pastor E O Gabriel  16 May 2026:Share*

SCRIPTURE: Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the Mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff - *Isaiah 41:14–15 KJV*

God was speaking to Israel, His People. He likened them to a worm and referred to them as worm Jacob. 

This describes Weakness and Vulnerability, as a worm has no backbone and is easily oppressed.

Israel at that time was weak and vulnerable, yet God declared that He would make them a new sharp threshing instrument.

*Let us understand what God is saying:*

*1) I will make you.*

• This reveals that God is the Maker of men. 

He said to Abram that He would make him a Great Nation - *Genesis 12:2*

• Jesus said to Peter to follow Him and He would make him a Fisher of Men - *Matthew 4:19*

Peter later Preached and thousands were saved - *Acts 2:41; Acts 4:4*

• God told Moses that He had made him a god unto Pharaoh - *Exodus 7:1*

• He has also made us Kings and Priests unto God - *Revelation 1:6*

• It is God who has made us and not we ourselves - *Psalm 100:3*

*2) New*

• God makes all things New - *Isaiah 43:18–19; 2 Corinthians 5:17*

*3) Sharp*

• Sharpness comes from God, while dullness does not.

• Sharpness represents Effectiveness and Efficiency.

*4) Threshing instrument*

• A threshing instrument is an ancient Agricultural tool embedded with sharp stones or iron teeth used to separate grain from chaff.

*From the above, God was declaring that the weak and vulnerable Israel, who could not stand in the day of battle, would be transformed into a Powerful force that overcomes Challenges* - *Psalm 78:9*

*Prayer*

Father, Please transform me from Weakness and Vulnerability into a Powerful and effective instrument in Your Hand in Jesus Christ Name.
