“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.” – 1 Chronicles 4:10
Yesterday’s prayer meeting was awesome. Definitely, everyone present there was so touched by the message by Pastor Michael, on the “Prayer of Jabez”, turning the once negatively strongheld areas of our lives, into a really blessed strong-hold… like when David fought and won the city of the Jebusites to make it the City of David; a stronghold of Israel.
Yes brothers and sisters. Its time to fight and win over all those painful areas of your lives, that once kept pressing you down; that was a burden for so long. The Lord calls us to take control over them and make that very pain, a strength and through that, be a blessing to others.
God wants to bless us; to prosper (enlarge) us in whatever we do; be that mighty shelter over us; fight and keep away the schemes of the evil one from us and then take away the pain, so that we will be equipped to bless others.
As Reinhard Bronkke says, “Invite Jesus into your house and give Him all the keys (not just one room) and he will take care of everything.”
