Jabez's Prayer
"Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request."
1Cronicles 4:10
This is a simple bold prayer of the Bible in the midst of boring genealogies, that has changed the lives of thousands!... Christians and non Christians... a prayer that has brought prosperity to many homes, and love and joy and peace... and it is not a selfish prayer, but a biblical one, according to the will of God... made by God for us to pray...
A short, one verse prayer, with four requests, granted by God.
Who was Jabez?
A simple man, like you and me... 1Cr.4:9 says that Jabez enjoyed greater respect than his brothers, he was a religious man, living in God... his mother named him Jabez (sorrow maker), "because I bore him in pain".
"Jabez cried out to the God of Israel":
This was the attitude of Jabez, he lived constantly in the presence of God... "trust in God" is the message of every page of the Bible... "faith in Christ" in the New Testament, which is almost the same...
Do your best... and then "trust in God"... it is the formula that never fails in this life... and in the next!... the one of Joshua in his first chapter.
- Rejoice and delight in God, your Father.
- Give thanks to God with joy in every circumstance in your life (1 Thes.5:16-18, Eph.5:20).
- Believe always in God, your Creator, your Father...
- Make your prayer requests to God... "Our Father who are in Heaven..." (Mt.6:9)
- Rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus. (Mr.16:17).
- Use the name of the God of Israel as your shelter and your strength.
