Text — 1Chronicles 4:9-10
Message
Miracles come through prayers! God desires that His children will diligently seek Him, speak with Him and search His word to get His promises fulfilled in their lives. A lot of opportunities are lost, fortunes are buried, and many doors to greatness remained closed because friends of Jesus refused to pray and get their needs met.
The case of Jabez in our Bible passage is that of a praying Christian who never gave up until his desires were granted. Jabez was born with hopelessness and sorrow. His case was so bad that he was named sorrow. After realizing that he belongs to a God with whom all things are possible; he got up from the dust and decided to seek for help from God. Have you examined your present situation? Are you where God destined you to be? Are you the best that you can be? If you discover any gap; don’t hesitate any longer, rise up and talk to God through your prayers. God answers prayers and He will turn your situation around as He did for Jabez. Prayer changes things!
