LIKE JABEZ IN THE PLACE OF PRAYER

Post date: Sep 13, 2013 4:00:58 AM

The place and time of prayer is definitely a place of enforcement and implementation of the will of God, a place to receive all needed assistance, a place where dreams and visions are clarified and grace obtained, a place where destiny is redefined and assured, and a place of challenges. It should be a time of serious business for you, a time for you to commit all you have to observe with all diligence and to obtain power to fulfill your best expectations and needs. The place of prayer is where you meet with your God to obtain the power to manifest His promises, power to fulfill your dreams, meet your expectations, overcome the devil, change everything the devil had done in secret and openly against you, and please remember, the devil will be there to confront and seek to stop you from having your way. I have observed many people engaged in things that should not be done while praying.

If the devil overcomes you in the place of prayer, you will remain his victim for long. Never rust into prayer without being mentally, physically and spiritually prepared, this is because, many things will definitely happen in that place. You will have to battle spiritual and physical demons to break their stronghold in your life, set yourself free, bring down the glory of the Lord God and walk out in triumph instead of tears as Hannah and Jabez did. 

Jabez did not take the information he collected lightly. He knew his future was at stake. He must receive a change or die in frustration. He did not run to the decision to pray without having the right information about himself, about his family, about his situation and about the God of Israel he served. The information he gathered came as a result of what he saw, what he heard and what he experienced in his own life. What have you seen in your life? What have you experienced or is experiencing? What have you known about your life and your situation? What Has God told you openly or in dreams or in revelations? Those are things you put together before approaching the place of prayers. When you are fully equipped like Jabez was before engaging yourself in any form of prayer, you will definitely have the same result that Jabez had.

Apostle Paul gave us a glimpse of what goes on in the place of prayer, what we should expect and what we should do to be prepared. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Ephesians 6:10-18 

Did you know that there are people today who do not know that they are actively living sin? People who do not know that the devil is actively working in and through them? They do not know the destructive effect of sin and their physical and eternal consequence? They cannot see evil in their lives and no one can convince or explain it to them? People who are suffering under the wicked influence of the devil without knowing, people who admit endless struggle and pains is a way of the normal life? There is nothing normal in endless struggles of any kind in any place and in any person’s life. People who call evil good and good evil, people whose conscience had been stolen or replaced by the devil. In the place of your prayers things will definitely change as it was for Jabez.
