MEMORISE: And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. – 1 Chronicles 4:10
BIBLE READING: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
MESSAGE:
Today’s Bible reading tells us that Jabez was more honourable than his brethren, but he was actually operating under a curse because his mother gave birth to him in sorrow. Jabez realised that if God did not intervene in his case, he would die a nonentity, so he prayed, and God turned his life around for good. The devil does not want any of God’s children to be great. If you want to be relevant and successful in life, implore you to start praying seriously from now.
Just like Jabez was cursed by his mother at birth, some children are under the influence of the curses placed on them by their parents or some evil-doers in their lineage. I pray that if there is any curse operating in your life, it will be broken today, in Jesus’ name.
My dear child, do you have any form of disorder that has made your parents, teachers, or friends tag you as a dullard? Do you think you are cursed in any way? Are you struggling in your academics despite putting in great efforts? It is time to change your destiny by asking God to intervene in your situation. Pray fervently like Jabez, and you will be free, in Jesus’ name.
CONFESSION: Jesus was made a curse so that | can be free. Therefore, I decree that I am free from any curse, in Jesus’ name.
