God singled out one man from more than 600 others for special recognition in the genealogical lists of 1 Chronicles 4:9-10;
Why did the Lord say that Jabez lived above average?
Because he modeled three qualities that makes leaders rise to the top:
1. Great Ambition
2. Great Faith
3. Great Prayers
Despite his name Jabez meaning “he will cause pain”, Jabez did not let this define him, not allow his life’s destiny cause pain to others.
He knows he alone can't change his destiny but his GOD does, GOD has the final saying in his life, he knows Jehova is the LORD , Who can re-define, change his destiny and bring about blessings.
In Chronicles 4:9-10, Jabez let’s God re-write his life through the prayers:
“Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.”
Today, we need God to re-write our days differently from what we had made wrong, and were under the brokenness of this earth management's system.
Come instantly to The Lord, trust Him and give Him the prayers as Jabez’s has done and stepping up to live new way of you!
Prayers: Lord, When i am living and leading under the brokenness of the earth, I was destined to to cause pain to people surrounding me sometimes. But I will do following to Jabez has done before that I call You the God of Israel, my GOD, through Your Name Jesus Christ, I am Yours.
Rewrite my life, re-define my days for You are my GOD.
“Oh Lord, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory (business, personal’s connection, advanced growth..) that Your hand would be with me, and that You keep me from evil (thoughts, decisions, responds, acts) that I may not cause pain!
Lord I pray I am the source of Your blessing, for Your Name alone!
Thank you, and I pray in Jesus Name,
Amen,
