YOU WILL SEE GOD’S TESTIMONY (3)

Post date: May 13, 2020 11:10:42 PM

The parents of Jabez had no hope in him when he was born, they had no confidence in him when they saw his appearance, they angry with him and with themselves when they saw his physical condition and his situation, they were very convinced that he will never change, his situation will never change and his life will never be better. But despite all of their convictions and thoughts concerning what they knew, saw, and observe in him, Jabez saw the testimony of God when he opens his thoughts and heart and turned to the Almighty God in earnest prayers. It is on record that his prayers opened the door for him to see the testimony of God in his life. That single God-given testimony changed the life of Jabez forever; it changed his ways and situations, it made a rejected man become a new man, a man of reconning, and a man God’s blessings. “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory. Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain. And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:10. Jabez cried to God not to man in his time of pains; he cried to God in his time of rejection, he placed a request before God and trust God to bring a change and God did, and Jabez saw it. Your day of change will come and you will see God’s testimony as Jabez.

Jabez was a disappointment and a disgrace to his parents, but he secured an appointment with the Almighty God through prayer and that changed his entire life; that single appointment with God took away all the physical and spiritual feelings and realities of his being a disappointment and a disgrace to his parents and to any other person around him; it took away all the known, seen, and given reasons they saw, knew, and concluded as bad for them to keep him and still own him as their son. His condition at birth was shameful for his parents to believe or tell people about their son. Jabez was not regarded, not given any chance, and definitely not respected by his parents for he never met or showed any sign of ever meeting their expectations at his birth, but all that was changed when God visited him in the condition his parents left him, all was changed after God answered his prayers in his deplorable and rejected situation, and to the glory of God, Jabez saw and lived thereafter in the fullness of the blessings of the testimonies of God in his life. We serve a prayer answering God.

Do you think it is impossible for you right now to see God’s testimonies because of what you have seen, experienced, and known about yourself? Do you think it will be impossible for you to have His blessings because of your location and situation? Do you believe the scriptures as the true and living word of God? Do you believe that the same God who was with Jabaz is also with you right now irrespective of your location and situation? Do believe Jesus Christ is God who sees and knows and is able and willing to enable you to see His testimony in your life? He is your God, He is your Lord and He is the one to do what He had destined for you. Have you ever prayed in your life before? Pray again, bring your request again before Him, trust Him for what you expect and for what you cannot imagine in your life; He can change the situation, He can fulfill all the expectations, and He will enable you to see His testimony.

God is not giving up on you and He will not give up on His word. Though the parents of Jabez gave up on him, God did not. The prayer of Jabez was heard, and his request were granted, yours will be fulfilled. God’s promises will be fulfilled, His blessings will come and it will sustain you; His power will defend you, and you will tell of all His goodness. Your present impossibility will not define your future in this world and in the world to come. What God said concerning you will be done; what He destined for you will be fulfill; what He planned is what you will have and what He had promise is what He will do. Be strong, continue in His ways, be strong in your mind and heart, be confident in His Word, and walk in obedience. It is very certain that in Him, through Him, and by Him alone, you will have success despite the impossibility. For prayers, Click here
