Jabez..


The greatest love that anyone could ever know

That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul


And tll I see You face to face


And Grace amazing takes me home


I trust in You


 


With all I am I live to see Your kingdom come


And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done


and till I see You face to face


Grace amazing takes me home


I trust in You


 


I will live to love You


I will live to bring You praise


I will live a child in awe of You


 


You are the voice that called the universe to be


You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me


And till I see You face to face


And Grace amazing takes me home


I trust in You


 


I will live to love You


I will live to bring You praise


I will live a child in awe of You


 


You alone are God of all


You alone are worthy Lord


And with all I am my soul will bless


Your Name


 


 


Prayer of Jabez :


 = little prayer, giant prize =


 


Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, " Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.


 


+ Jabez, a small character in the bible, but yet so significant. Why would God even want to include Jabez into that one small part of the bible? In the many many accounts of the descendants written in 1 Chronicles, the account stops to speak of Jabez's prayer....he must have been very very significant in God's eyes. Being a child who bore the name that calls out "PAIN" Jabez must had had a rough life, being discriminated and labelled as pain. Even by his own mother. But yet, he was chosen out of many. And his prayer today, is causing revival to those who calls out his prayer. Jabez....as small as he seemed, chosen to do great things, to impact lives. Chosen....because he is honourable in God's sight. Chosen...because God sees him as worthy among many...........


to be like Jabez is to be a prayer warrior


and persevere in the midst of hardships.....
