Prayer as a Way of Life with Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly CustodioThe Prayer Of Jabez
‘Oh, That ... Your Hand [Would] Be With Me ...’ 1 Chronicles 4:10.
Today’s Devotion
When God begins to bless you, your opportunities can outrun your strength, your experience, and your resources. God’s blessings can actually ‘overtake’ you (Deuteronomy 28:2). Imagine having more business than you can handle, more opportunities than you can respond to, more demands on your gift than you can fulfil.
That’s the reason Jabez prayed, ‘When I’m successful, keep me dependent on You!’ Why do you think the Bible says, ‘... if riches increase, set not your heart upon them’ (Psalm 62:10). Or, ‘Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!’ (Luke 6:26). God’s saying, ‘When you’re successful, don’t get out of balance. Keep first things first! Always lean on Me!’ Big-screen heroes may not put much stock in dependence, but you and I were made for it.
God’s plan has never been to make you great, but to keep you humble, and become great through you. Listen: ‘The eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His...’ (2 Chronicles 16:9 NAS).
God wants to be your support system! He’s not scanning the horizon for spiritual giants; He’s just looking for people He can trust with more of His blessings. Paul says, ‘... not that we think we can do anything of lasting value by ourselves. Our only power and success come from God’ (2 Corinthians 3:5 NLT). For us, dependence is just another word for power! That’s why you need to pray today, ‘Lord, keep Your hand on me!’
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your Word today. I come before you with a humble heart today. Lord thank you for teaching on this subject and teach me to be always humble even when I reach the peak of my success. Use me Lord to be a blessings for others and keep my heart from loving the treasure of this world but focus on our relationship with You Lord and protect me Lord always as Jabez said Lord We may not overwhelming with all these blessings but we should keep our eyes on you and keep away from loving richest of this world and we pray for protection always so that we may not trap from any offers of this world but rather cultivate our relationship to you always more than richest. Lord uses me as instrument of your blessings and a servant who is blameless and a man of prayer in order to pray regularly in every area of ministries that you assigned to me for your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen!
