Jabez Prayed

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.

*Jabez Prayed*

Despite his birth had a difficult beginning, the most significant part of Jabez's story is his prayer to God. Amen.

His mother called him as pain and suffering. Everlasting Father assured to enlarge his territory, to protect him by HIS hand, to overcome his pain and deliver him from all evil.

If ever we experienced getting blamed for all our activities, we can understand the pain of Jabez. His birth status and upbringing would have made him vulnerable to public scrutiny, had he made any mistakes.

However, Prayer changes everything. It gives birth to the things new and at the same time, help us to ask God to fulfil His intended purpose irrespective of bad or difficult life-experiences.

The desperate cry from him, changed his destiny!!! "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!"

What a cry!!! He cried to the Lord that he does not want to be pain or cause pain to his mom or his brothers or his household or anyone.

God granted Jabez's request, making him a blessing. The story about him revealed in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10  as, Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. God know our stories from the beginning. Hallelujah!!😄

Be assured that we may be work in progress in our life journey but We have positioned in Him fully, that is 100%.

The story of Jabez is a reminder that God is a Good and Gracious God who loves to bless His children. If we will trust in Him and Pray boldly, He will answer our prayers and bring good things in our lives. Amen. Hallelujah.

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏
Shalom. 🙏🙏
Have a Good weekend.
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

τηρήσετε (tērēsete)- you will guard, keep watch over Reference: John 14:15 — "If you love me, keep my commandments" — sits at a hinge point in Jesus's Farewell discourse, right before HE promises the Holy Spirit (the "Advocate"/Paraclete). Root verb: τηρέω (tēreō) — not the more common Greek word for "obey" (peithomai/hypakouō, meaning to submit to authority), but a word that literally means "to guard," "to watch over," "to keep watch". It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
