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...🙏🙏🙏

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
