9 Jabez was a very good man, who was better than his brothers. His mother said, “I have named him Jabez because I was in much pain when I had him.” 10 Jabez prayed to the God of Israel and said, “I pray that you would bless me and give me more land! Be near me and don’t let anyone hurt me! Then I will not have any pain.” God gave Jabez what he asked for.

MFM 28/4/22 MESSAGE:
We are still on the power of prayer. Prayer is so important in the life of a believer that the topic cannot be overemphasized. Prayer changes things, lives, situations and circumstances.

The Bible gives an interesting account of a man called Jabez. Though summarised in just two verses, Jabez’ story is very impactful and worthy of emulation. The Bible affirms that Jabez was a more honorable man than all his brethren, but the root meaning of his name was sorrow.

He realised this fact but refused to accept it as his fate. Jabez’s life of prayer is a demonstration of God’s power to turn situations around for good when we call upon Him.

The Psalmist says: “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4).

You are there, people call you ‘big boss’, but within you, the reverse seems to be the case. You can’t really see the manifestation. Your case is probably like that of Jabez and you need to rise up in holy anger and reject everything that is working contrary to God’s plan and purpose for your life.

The Bible says: “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31a).

Whatever you do not want in your life but you allow has a right to stay there. Whatever you don’t want; you don’t want, and you need to make it clear that you don’t want it. You need to cry out violently against every unpleasant situation in your life and command it to go.

It is written: “And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12).

Rise up today and revoke the resident permit you have consciously or unconsciously given to that unwanted situation; eject it out of your life totally.

Remember, the Bible’s assurance that whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. God has invested great authority in you. Use it to the glory of His Name!

BIBLE in one YEAR:
1 Kings 3–5; Luke 20:1–26

PRAYER POINTS:
