Message Title: God Sees You As A Victor
Proof Text: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Beloved, our Heavenly Father has given us all these tremendous promises. He said that you shall be the head and not the tail, you will lend and not borrow, your latter days will be better than your former days, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper. He said, your children will be mighty in the land, and He will restore that which was lost.
In our proof text, 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Jabez, whose name means "a sorrowful child" due to the harsh circumstances surrounding his birth, is well-known for his passionate prayers. Jabez, being more noble than his brothers, prayed to God to bless him, expand his realm, and keep his hand on him. God answered his request, giving him victory! His mother named him Jabez because his birth was painful, indicating a rough start in life. Despite his rough start, Jabez prayed fervently to God, asking for blessings, expansion, and guidance. The Lord heard his petition and answered it. Jabez's story demonstrates how powerful and effective prayer can be when we trust Jesus and seek His guidance when faced with difficulties.
People around you may say you are not good enough, you can not start that business, you will never make it, and you can not break that addiction on your own. That may be true. The good news is God is a master planner. He knows how to fix things up. He is about to give you more power that will cause you to effect change in your world. There is going to be a courage to step out and do things you have never done. There will be boldness, a greater confidence. You will have new ideas, great favor, and more wisdom. You are about to go further than you thought. It is going to happen faster than you know.
