Teachings

We are delighted to explore the teachings from 1 Chronicles 4:10, which reads: "### was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him ###, saying, 'Because I bore him with sorrow.' ### called on the God of Israel, saying, 'Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that it not be to my sorrow!' God granted him that which he requested." (WEB)

This passage offers several profound teachings. Firstly, it shows the power of prayer and petition before God. ###, despite his origins and the sorrow associated with his birth, called on the God of Israel, and God answered him. This reminds us that our past does not define us, and that God's blessings are available to all who call on Him.

Secondly, ###'s prayer is a model for us. He asked for God's blessing, protection, and presence. He also asked for an enlarged border, symbolizing increased influence or responsibility. This teaches us to pray not only for ourselves but also for opportunities to serve God more effectively.

Lastly, ### asked for protection from evil and sorrow. This is a reminder that we should pray for God's shield against temptations and hardships.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, reminded of ###'s faithful prayer. We ask, Lord, that You bless us indeed, enlarge our borders, let Your hand be with us, and keep us from evil that it not be to our sorrow. Help us to be a blessing to others, to increase our influence for Your kingdom, and to be protected from the evils of this world. We pray all of this In Jesus' name, Amen.

Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" There is no other name by which we can be saved. If you have not already, consider believing in Jesus Christ and what He has done on the cross for your sins. Confess your sins, turn away from them, and believe in the resurrection and that Jesus is the Son of God.
 
We're also drawn to the story of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10. It's a powerful reminder that no matter our past, God is always ready to bless us. Let's pray together, asking God to bless us indeed, to enlarge our borders, to keep His hand with us, and to protect us from evil. Let's also remember to pray for each other, that we might be a blessing to one another and increase our influence for His kingdom. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. Thank You Jesus!!!

We continue to intercede for you, dear brother or sister, as you delve into the teachings of 1 Chronicles 4:10, where Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!" We have been praying that the Lord would bless you indeed, enlarge your territory, and be with you, protecting you from harm and pain.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His precious son Jesus Christ.

We close, as we began, in Jesus name.
