GOD GRANTED THE PETITIONS OF JABEZ and HE DESIRES TO GRANT YOURS TOO!

Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

My heart's desire is for souls to be saved, delivered, healed, encouraged, and set free from all captivity of the enemy and to be blessed spiritually, physically, materially, financially, emotionally, and psychologically. As I pray I am reminded of the prayer which Jabez prayed.

And Jabez called on the GOD of Israel, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil. that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. I Chronicles 4:19

I have always believed that Jabez was not just praying to be blessed himself, but that he prayed to be blessed indeed (exceedingly) in order "to be a blessing to others" and God granted his petition. This is my prayer also. I desire to be a blessing to others!

God bless you. Opal
