Breaking Free: What’s Weighing Heavy on Your Heart?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I was at a meeting this past few days, and our father, Dr. Albert Femi Oduwole, was ministering. He quoted a scripture that really struck a chord. It will bless you.

2Sa 14:26 (KJV) And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year’s end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king’s weight.

The scripture above referred to Absalom, who was the most handsome man in the Old Testament.

He would cut his hair at the end of every year because it had become heavy on him.

What is heavy on you that you are coping with? You are supposed to “poll” it.

Interestingly, the same hair was the point of his beauty. But that which is responsible for his beauty also became a point of weariness due to the heaviness.

How often have we found out that our point of giftings can often become a point of distraction, if left unpolled!

This is the end of the year! You need some polling to do!

The Amplified Bible calls it a burden!

2Sa 14:26 (AMPC) And when he cut the hair of his head, he weighed it–for at each year’s end he cut it, because its weight was a burden to him–and it weighed 200 shekels by the king’s weight.

Many of you are probably gifted and smart, but your weight has become too much of a burden!

The scripture rightly says:

Mat 11:28 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

That hair that has grown over your relationship needs some polling. Some numbers need to be deleted. Some relationships need to be discarded. They have become a point of iniquity, and you know! Go get some barbing now!

Refuse to carry all demonic hair on your head! Do not allow any heaviness!

May God give you proper rest as you approach the coming year!
