Bible Texts: 1Chro.4:8-10, Ac.14:15, Jas.5:17, 1Kgs.17:1, Gal.4:19, Matt.7:7, Rev.12:10, Mk.9:29, Jer.33:3, Ps.39:13, Heb.11:6
Yesterday, we understood from Scriptures that if you can travail on your knees, you will definitely prevail on your feet. So, today, I want us to study Jabez, a husbandman like you and I. Jabez had a negative identity from birth because his mother gave birth to him in sorrow. But he desired a change and he prayed this prayer.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me. AND GOD GRANTED HIM THAT WHICH HE REQUESTED (1Chro.4:8-10)
God answered him and gave him honour and his family name changed for the best. You can pray like Jabez and have your good and godly desires as the man, husband and father fulfilled. Your need for supernatural intervention to be free from bondages, spells and enchantment; from barrenness, lack and want, struggles, unsustained progress, addictions, failures, sickness and diseases becomes possible when you pray like Jabez (Jas.5:17).
But there is an important virtue you must add to your prayer if God will answer like He did for Jabez. It is faith in God, His word and His capabilities (Heb.11:1-2).
He that must come to God must first believe that He is and He is the rewarded of them that diligently seek Him (Heb.11:6)
Your fervent and faith-filled prayer is what brings the answers you desire. Faith filled prayers open the floodgates of answers and stirs up the needed changes you crave for. God came through for Jabez. He will come through for you, if you can engage the weapon of prayer of faith (Mal.3:6).
Therefore, keep praying, keep believing, keep declaring and keep expecting. Victory is sure for you as the good and godly husbandman.
Hallelujah!
