Prayer of Jabez Enlarge My Territory. Pastor Joel Osteen and Pastor David Ireland.

Описание: The name Jabez literally means “born with pain”.

“That you would bless me” Jabez not only recognizes God as the one and only true God, he also acknowledges that blessings come from God alone.
Jabez was not using prayer as a formula to get something from God, rather He was calling upon God to help him accomplish the promises of God!

“Your hand be with me” – Jabez wanted God to be in every moment of his day. He understood the power of God’s hand to protect and to lead in the right direction.

“That you would multiply my territory” – Many think that Jabez is simply referring to physical land when asking to multiply territory. However, if we look at the lineage of Jabez we can understand that he is not merely speaking in terms of wealth and prosperity but in terms of impacting the kingdom of God. He wanted his spiritual territory to increase, to claim generations for the Lord of Israel.

“Keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain” The name Jabez literally means “born with pain”. His own mother named him this because of the pain she endured in labor! When Jabez prays, he speaks against the testimony of his name and lets go of the shame it covered him in. When you pray, come to God vulnerable and ready for Him to turn your weakness into His glory.
