Jabez is a man not a lot of people know. His life of obscurity is punctuated by a few lines in the book of Chronicles (1 Chronicles 4:10) found in the Bible. We don't know a lot about him but if you're looking for prayers of prosperity, Jabez gets top marks. This is what he prayed for to his God: "Oh, that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!"
His mother called him Jabez, the Hebrew word for 'cause of pain'. We can imagine that his family life did not bode well for his future; however, this did not stop him from crying out to God for more in his life. Can you feel the intensity and heartfelt desire in his prayer? You will also notice that Jabez also asked God to keep him from fulfilling what his name said he was-- a cause of pain. The last line of the verse succinctly summarized the success of his prayer: God granted him what he requested.
What lessons can we draw from this man who had many things going against him? When you pray for prosperity, it will surely come if you believe. It is possible to for anyone, whatever your past may have been. Believe that God is not only powerful enough to give you good things; He is good enough to want it even more than you do. Understanding His nature is the beginning of unshakeable faith that can move whatever mountains you face.
To receive prosperity, you need to know your God intimately, understand your divine right, be bold in your requests and be a source of blessing for others. You will be surprised at what you can achieve and have. Remember, you were not meant just to live a life of success - you were meant to live a life of significance.
